AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16.3

Could be as I believe that all those feature requests I have sent through that error-reporting form has been printed and used as a toilet paper @ AMD HQ :crapper:

 

Does your card actually downclock? Mine doesn't at all. Unless it reaches the 94 celsius treshold (need to replace the tim again pfft).

 

I think you are not far from the truth but at the same time i want to believe that the Petition i started in change.org asking AMD an user option to choice power saving or performance has some relation to the new power toggle.

IMHO public exposition of driver problems is more effective than private reports.

 

The Radeon settings thing is random crashing... I uninstalled Radeon settings, from my point of view it's a piece of crap buggy application. I actually don't remember when I had an application that random crashed...

First time it crashed when I needed something from the old CCC. Second time decided to crash ~10 min after a reboot, 3th time while I was in CS:GO.

Even setting GPU scaling proved to not work at first try. Set it ON and centered and was doing nothing... Had to do it like it was done in the old CCC to make it work (change to a lower resolution, set GPU scaling back to ON, pick Centered...)...

And the Power saving thing is there only the first time I open Radeon settings. I don't have to touch it. Second time I open Radeon settings Power saving option is gone...

 

These have Vulkan support too.. so that's cool.

 

Well you did see the effort, so.. good job!, but thats absolutely pointless site when it comes to anything except visibility when you promote it.
Next time I think its better do that same thing in AMD forum and promote it as anyone can tag the topic also as "I have the same question".

 

I don't understand.Radeon R300 is rebranded R200.It's exactly the same chip with exactly the same pcb layout and transistors,heck,even the packaging box with foams is the same. And AMD is selling the story that r300 is more advanced than r200?! They have some weird voodoo technicians in R&D.

 

i cant see if vulcan is installed on my R9 270X

 

Cnext it's still crashing? How it is possible they can't fix a basic thing? I'll not install these drivers...

 

Found this on the reddit thread discussing the driver, seems encouraging.
Radeon 16.2 vs 16.3 vs 16.3 w/o Power Efficiency [Unigine Heaven, R9 380]

 

Vanished indeed ;-)
And CCC from 15.11.1 i need some functions in it (Gamma switch in Tray )

Crimson is in Development, not all minor functions from CCC are there

 

I installed 16.3 after having wiped everything out using DDU.

In my case Power Efficiency option doesn't disappear at all even after rebooting my PC. By default it's ON but I disable it when I play games.

 

Damn, increase of 10% drawcall? Decent. I am tempted to try these myself to check for improvements, but I have so many registry values changed in my drivers now that I dread to do that all over again Ah well.

 

anyone have link demo test vulkan

 

I have not had a single Cnext crash since first Crimson release that crashed on reboot.

 

Searched for It Today
Serach=0 :3eyes:

We need to wait.
On UE4 Dev. site i found nothin' also. :wanker:

 

ok thank i wait

 

Legacy 16.3 in the pipeline?

 

Downloaded and installed fine, no problems on this simple process, like always

 

About the same profiles as the Vulkan dev driver, Crossfire flags might differ a bit though since these are newer.

(And these in addition do have a profile for The Division, might be some changes to it since the earlier 16.2.1 beta driver.)
