Thanks to @buzarini for the heads up.

 

I have a problem with this driver. In chromium-like browsers, micro freezes of the system occur. This issue occurred with driver 31.0.22000.11008.
Disabling hardware acceleration helped. The firefox browser does not have this problem. Version 23.5.2 does not have this problem.

I found a post on the microsoft site. This person describes the same problem.

Finally a useful 7900 driver!

It has the new OpenGL driver with 323 extensions as the Adrenalin 23.5.1 for 7600 cards. At the same time, it has the newest Vulkan module.
This driver has ReLive functionality which was missing in the previous Adrenalin Edition 23.10.01.14 for DirectX®12 Agility SDK - GPU Work Graphs.

The driver has the same new UMD modules as the 7600 driver:
AMD DX12 UMD Version:8.18.10.0474
AMD DX10/DX11 UMD Version:8.17.10.0050
AMD DX9 UMD Version:8.14.10.0244

OpenCL 2.1 AMD-APP (3570.0) - the same as UWP.

The MFT module is 1.4.30 (only UWP has 1.4.31)

The metrics overlay works fine.

No HAGS support as we expected. Maybe 23.6.1?

As a bonus - this driver has DirectML optimization for Stable Diffusion 1.5 from 23.5.2.

 

If you prefer HAGS feature, you can choose NVIDIA.
The AMD driver has no feature requirements for HAGS. Maybe when FSR 3.0 is officially launched we will see HAGS available.

 

Also contains the RAM consumption fix for TLOU shader compile, so I guess this is probably 23.10 branch with all fixes + other improvements for everyone (or so I hope).

Vsync on with Vulkan is still garbage at certain fps under full GPU load vs. vsync off:


I guess they'll never fix that. Somehow it's beyond AMD's Vulkan driver team's comprehension how correct vsync with fps below refresh rate works. This is btw. with VRR, so even if the game screwed up backbuffer config, frame time graph should always be a flat line (as it is with Nvidia)...

Maybe post this on Reddit? Reported it months ago, of course nothing happened.

 

If nagged for months until they acknowledged issue with valheim and it was easily avoidable issue like running the game in directx instead which took 1 and half year from the day they recognized the existance of the issue, they simply copy pasted my bug report and work around and then fixed it early this year, i would not have any hope of them reading bug reports if been reporting sons of the forest issue for few months already.

Maybe if could get like 100 people to do the same bug report at same time it popups on their radar as they probably skiping over bug reports right now or automaticly ignoring old reports that have less reports.

With the market share AMD has they will simply just ignore all bug reports until people complain on reddit.

 

I already tested with RX 7900 XTX with Mi 34 Monitor at 144 Hz,
It still has problems with high idle power from the spike of the VRAM clock. (80W+)
But the VRAM clock now more often decreases lower than 909 MHz resulting in 10-30W idle power consumption from 50W+ with 144 Hz.

 

Driver also contains HW RT support for HIP in Blender 3.6, it's 2:57min vs. 3:25min for barbershop demo on 6700 XT. I guess difference would be a bit bigger when not including fixed preparation period.

 

I have no problem with power consumption in IDLE. With this driver, it's just 6W (10 with modified UWP). The monitor is 75Hz. Recently I had a TV (60Hz) connected as a second monitor and I had no problems as well.

But 7900 XT cards are not so greedy as XTX's.

 

lav filters, 16-235 to 0-255 conversion seem broken with these.

 

That'd be weird, is this likely is some most simple shader, or something like that.
Makes me wonder why you even use it, as it usually is just a workaround.

 

Most videos are limited color range but my display is running full rgb.
Without it, colors look washed out.
Well, mpc-hc has a build in shader to convert the colors range.
I will use this for the time being.

 

Every video renderer by default converts limited range video to full range RGB without manual intervention if your output is full range (and I guess also otherwise), something apparently isn't configured right at your end.

 

Well yes and it was working correctly before.

//edit
the "normal" evr renderer in mpc-hc doesn't seem to have this problem.
but the custom evr and also madvr output the wrong levels now.
weird.

 

The normal EVR Render is already outdated. The new "normal" D3D11 renderer works fine with limited color range videos.

With PotPlayer this option of LAV Video filter doesn't work. At least doesn't change the colors at all. I have no idea if, with the older driver, the situation is the same.

But the similar option in PotPlayer works fine:

 

I installed these drivers on my i9-13900/Z790 with Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX PC after wiping out the UWP drivers\software with DDU.

I frankly found them underwhelming performance wise. Running the Aida64 Extreme GPGPU benchmark the raw numbers weren't great. In Superposition the benchmark score was down on UWP and 23.5.2 scores. In 3Dmark Timespy the score was half of what it should have been.

So I've gone back to the UWP's available via Windows Update (Windows 11 Release Preview Channel build 22621.1928).

 

Forgive my ignorance, but is this a beta/preview driver? Confused by the version numbering since it doesn't follow typical Yr.Mo.DriverRelease#.

 

Yes, something like that.
Don't really know how to categorize it.
You can say it's a in between normal release and preview.
The Vulkan extensions should, luckily, be included in the next driver.

I since update to KB5027303, The RDR2 does not have CTD.

WHQL and this will be the thing
