No problem

Tried a few other games, Alan Wake, Dying Light, cores are not locking, going up and down constantly, gona have to go back to 15.9.1s.

Anyone else getting this pop up, as soon as you hit restart/shutdown ?

I got that on first restart after installation ( i used the new install tool).
As well as seeing that dox, I had problems with dirt rally crashing with the new driver (crossfire user) so I've removed the driver the old fashioned way (prog & features in control panel) and reinstalled and its all good now.

These new drivers DO NOT LIKE AFTERBURNER! They crash both BF3/BF4 after a few minutes, yet turn Afterburner off and all is ok.

Performance gains right across the board, some of them massive. AMD strikes again with Drivers.

Conclusion

Despite this being a beta version of the driver, the performance is nothing short of being magnificent. The results aren’t necessarily unexpected, as we’ve been able to see such gains from the tweaking and reworking of the back-end and lower level API’s of drivers in the past, but to have been able to perform better and consistently better in this manner is just wonderful.

People with problems are you running leaked driver or amd released driver?
Not had a chance to test myself yet and I have leaked driver installed.

They is a difference also leaked isn't whql while amd release is.. I know that don't really mean anything though.

Official drivers from AMD website.
And I stopped using MSI AB for quite some time now. So no overclocks either.

I am back to 15.6 now....

No problems for me so far on my 290, install went smoothly and very quickly, don't notice any performance differences so far though...

Also, no issues with afterburner.

EDIT:

Using drivers from AMD website

Just as an FYI - Anything that Windows Display options does is not replicated in Radeon Software Crimson. You can make those changes in Windows. (i.e. resolutions and refresh rates)

how about advanced video settings? the place where you can change dynamic range, gamma, and all the nice sliders

Going to have to remove it for now as the FO4 navigation flicker is rather annoying! I'll check it out once some hotfixes are out

+1 same here

Performance drops for me, some of them massive.

Im running the officials, not leaked.

Was going to try locking em in AB, but it doesn't work, whack the power to 50%, core clock 1040, mem 500, hit to apply, and nothing, stays at idle 300/500, these are coming off.

LoadsaMoney · 24 Nov 2015 at 21:29

Anyone else not got an Overdrive either in em ?

With the old CCC package you could choose not to install the driver while updating everything else, like HDMI Audio driver and CCC. Is that doable with these drivers so you can keep the old display driver while using the new RS instead of CCC?

LoadsaMoney · 24 Nov 2015 at 21:32

Found overdrive

When installing, I had an option in tick or un-tick so I would say yes.

savagesam117 · 24 Nov 2015 at 21:39

Uninstalled CCC and everything ready for Crimson and it's now screwed my screen. I'll upload a picture in a bit but i can even see anything

Not having much luck with computers at the moment

You have to click on your cards along the top in the Global Settings (says Global Overdrive), and accept it for it to open.

Alan Wake, cores going anywhere from 300/600+

1. Why doesn't the AMD driver/CCC have a setting for the max prerendered frames like Nvidia has to massively reduce latency in competitive gaming?
Please don't say to use any third party software like some radeonpro stuff one has to configure and start with every game - not acceptable!

So they finally implemented this. Nice. Really looking forward to buy a freesync screen and AMD card.

Quick and easy install for me. Could be my imagination (I didn't have any issues with the old drivers) but Fallout 4 seems much smoother. That's running on a 280x at 1080p with just about everything on ultra.
