@AMDMatt Do you know if the driver team are aware of the performance delta between r_batchtype 0 & r_batchtype 1 & Vega GPU's with Kingdom Come: Deliverance?

The games default is r_batchtype 0. Under this setting the performance in CPU demanding areas like the town of Rattay is pretty horrible.

As soon as you enable r_batchtype 1 the fps rises dramatically. In areas outside of town it which are not CPU constrained it doesn't make any real difference.

I'm just wondering if the driver team have had any communication either way with Warhorse studios so that we can have it as the default setting?

This is the thread I posted on Reddit about the issue.

Create a user.cfg file and have the game load it.

I know but it would be nice to have it by default, plus we might not see reviews like this one :p https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/02/19/kingdom_come_deliverance_gpu_performance_revie

We were hoping the Radeon RX Vega 56 would be a contender here, but it just wasn’t. Whatever you want to call it, its performance was not up to par, not what it should have been. This rendered the Radeon RX 580 direct competition for it and the Radeon RX 580 offered more consistent framerate and a smoother gameplay experience.

Last night I updated my Windows 10 box with the Meltdown patch, which also forced the Fall Creators Update to be installed. I checked and the Meltdown patch is active (no AV issues). Since the update, the graphics card dies and the screen goes black a couple of minutes after login - whatever is running. Sometimes it restarts after 30 seconds or so, but then dies again shortly afterwards. GPU temps were steady at around 40. The machine is still running because I can use keyboard accelerators to cleanly shutdown.

Uninstalling the AMD driver and reverting to the basic Microsoft driver makes the system stable again.

I've tried the WHQL driver that Windows installs (17.7 I think), the latest stable (17.12.2) and the latest alpha (18.1.1). I can't see anything in the Windows logs. Uninstalling the Meltdown patch didn't fix the issue Any ideas as to how I can track the problem down

Almost embarrassed to post this, but I finally got to the root of the problem.

I had an "smart" extension lead with master and slaves - PC in the master and monitor and speakers in the slaves. When I turned off the PC, the extension lead detected that and turned off power to the slaves. Great when I can't easily reach the on/off switch of the speakers. My monitor doesn't have a "power save" mode logo on the screen, so when it went black I had assumed the signal from the card had stopped. A BIOS update wiping out my overclock meant that the system was hovering just above the threshold that the extension lead was detecting as "off". When you add in the better power management of the AMD driver vs the basic driver, the extension lead thought the PC was turned off when I was idling - e.g reading a static web page.

Sometimes it's the simple things. :-/

Latest Drivers have broken freesync for me.
Suddenly my monitor isn't "freesync supported".

Tried everything I can :(


EDIT : Constant unpluggings and changing settings and suddenly it's back.
That's a waste of 20 minutes.
