AMD has announced a major overhaul of their Catalyst graphics card driver software today, adding new features, improving performance and fixing a large number of bugs. The 'special edition' driver, which is the result of months of work, is one of the biggest AMD has released.

The orginal artical was taken down.. probably published too early. Got this from google cache

Hapatingjaky · Dec 5, 2014, 07:47 AM

So they fixed a bunch of old titles? What about newer releases?

Ego · Dec 5, 2014, 08:02 AM

There was an article on Techspot about it, apparently they're adding downsampling in the driver, but just for the 290 series and 285, because 280x owners haven't been ****ed with enough.

This driver is also supposed to boost performance in Unity as well.

Mangler · Dec 5, 2014, 08:12 AM

I don't understand why they would not include the 7970/280 in the list of cards that supports VSR.

Did they say if it was just for this driver release or not?

demo · Dec 5, 2014, 08:12 AM

Great news that both camps now have downsampling/FSSAA solutions. Long overdue feature if you ask me.

Jaillum Malord · Dec 5, 2014, 09:51 AM

I wonder if this new driver allows the unlocking of the pixel clock?

DarkFoss · Dec 5, 2014, 10:01 AM

*Edit*
Ok after looking over the slides just no VSR support for the older GCN thats cool I can wait for that. Phoronix reported am improved Cat was coming back in Sept seems like this is it.
I was just informed on the FAH board that as of the 14.9 Cat you were able to fold under Linux natively with your AMD Gpu's. You'd think there would have been an announcement somewhere at FAH.. Not really AMD's responsibility
to put it in the release notes. :P

WaltC · Dec 5, 2014, 10:32 AM

Not really clear on the differences between "VSR" and super sampling, since super sampling renders at a higher resolution internally which is "down sampled" (these new buzzwords are amusing) to the display resolution.

In fact, look at the third tick on the last AMD slide" "Simulates SSAA for those games that don't support it"...That pretty much says it all, imo.

I'm trying to recall what games I have that *don't* already support SSAA enabled in the CCC...maybe a couple...just can't recall. I really dislike it when nVidia PR does something and AMD PR comes in right behind them and does the same thing--I won't *buy* nVidia because I loathe the often-silly PR crap the company constantly spews...so of course I really don't like it when AMD hops on-board the copy train.

Maybe what's "new" is that with VSR the end user can pick the internally rendered resolution just like he does with the rendered resolution.

There are a ton of games that don't support driver level forced SSAA.

I'll take your word for it!...just can't recall any of mine that don't and I have quite a few games installed...(about 40, at last count...)...No biggie...

Wanted to add...I do also know that there are not a small number of older games that resist rendering at high-very high resolutions without artifacts of some kind...so I'm wondering how such a driver feature works in those cases...interesting...plus I would imagine that shooting for internal resolutions that are very high might result in unplayable frame rates...etc. This should be very interesting!

now if they can do freesync without the flickering nv is getting

and freesync works with vsr and cfx at the same time it would be a win

t0adp1p3 · Dec 5, 2014, 01:55 PM

Good to see they are working on cats and fixing long standing issues. Mantle recording looks cool. Be interested to see how well it works. I don't really play any old games, so the VSR stuff isn't that big for me.

Catalyst Omega also brings support for TressFX Hair 3.0, OpenCL 2.0 and Mantle game capture, streaming and FPS measurement through the Gaming Evolved client.

it will be nice to have a mantle OSD fps (I hope that is what they mean anyway ) now if they would add gpu usage and temps OCD with mantle

**nutcrackr** · Dec 5, 2014, 06:12 PM

so no boosts for 7xxx cards?

t0adp1p3 · Dec 5, 2014, 06:15 PM

at this stage you could probably find someone to buy your 7xx series card and make enough money to buy a used 290 or 290x. The prices on used ones tanked.

was trying to play fallout 3 & NV and I had to go back to windows 7 and still have problems with sli
I don't have a windows 7 boot drive for my cfx system so can't test it

but windows 8.1 was just constant lockups with both sli and cfx on or off with FO3 but NV was a little better

**Higgy10** · Dec 6, 2014, 01:07 PM

Toad, what dx9 games are you having a prob with? Ive played a few in the last 4-5mths and cant recall any glaring issues.

t0adp1p3 · Dec 6, 2014, 02:01 PM

Pretty much everyone of them will exhibit some artifacting then the driver will crash so hard it has to be reinstalled. It's weird.

HyperNovae · Dec 6, 2014, 02:13 PM

Can't you turn off xfire for when you play those particular games? I know it's a hassle but it could work I guess right? I don't know much about dual setups, never had one myself.

t0adp1p3 · Dec 6, 2014, 03:55 PM

Yeah that's what I do, just hoping they fixed it. Interested to see if streaming with mantle will work and glad they are adding features

I know it's a hassle but it could work I guess right? I don't know much about dual setups, never had one myself. __________________ RIP John Dunsworth
