First impression, holy **** its good

It looks good, its menu is 3d accellerated, its clear and easy to use.

Loadingtimes in Fallout4 are more then halved (thank you shadercach)
AFR friendly (its named compatible AFR now?) now works with no errors (indoors at least) as there is no CF profile yet.
Skyrim enb runs a lot better, and last but not least; no other profile needed in CF anymore, adaptation and DOF works and its a lot smoother now, damn"I'm happy allready
Testing continued now.

If you go to advanced settings it takes you to the CCC lol. Guess it's not gone completely

Ya so far it looks impressive, fallout4 runs way better

its a stub, just a couple settings and the custom res utility.

[Skinner]

The Witcher3 jitter when moving/running is not solved yet in CF. Also my GPU's dropped to 8xx mhz on both GPU's in that game when using 5K
At 4K its stay's ok, but still performance plummets when moving/running from 50 fps to 30.

Also in FO4 the GPU-frequenty drops a bit (energy is on 50 and both GPU's are oc'ed at 1110/570 by trixx) , but after setting "afr-friendly" as CF profile it stays pegged at 60 fps @ 5K. No HDR bright errors, just some messy AO, but that perf and smoothness is great.
Still in the vault though, so I have to see how it behaves in outside/town levels.

[evil-doer]

I posted this in another thread but I guess I'll state it here too.

The compass in Fallout 4 is graphically corrupted for me. It's like its not drawing most of it, and I need to swivel my body all over the place to figure out what and where the icons are for where to go.

[The Mac]

you using xfire and AFR mode?

[V1per]

If I overclock my HD7850's and restart the PC it hangs with a cnext.exe error. After the restart the cards go back to default clocks.

Had no issues overclocking with CCC and 15.7.1




--Edit--

Now I'm getting "cnext.exe has stopped responding click to close the application" and I only had Firefox and a couple of windows open. Uninstalled, going back to CCC and 15.7.1

[Skinner]

I was wrong about Skyrim enb, still need the Fear profile to get adaptation and DOF(most DOF's) to work correctly.

Also in many games my GPU's working at lower frequencies, sometimes as low as 570 mhz, when playing in 5K

[blurter]

OK great!

The FRTC doesn't even work!

[Nazgul]

OK great!

Well that post was ALL kinds of helpful. Care to post some information to go along with it? System specs, the game in question, what specific indicators you're seeing to suggest it's not working, etc?

[blurter]

These drivers are completely flakey craaaaaap!

FRTC is completely broken in Fallout 4 and all of a sudden I have 2 fallout 4 game profiles for some reason and unlike previous CCC game profiles there is NO option to delete a profile.

The only way FRCT works if at all is if it's set in global settings, if you set it in the game profile it doesn't work, then if you try to change the frame rate cap it just stops working. Good God.

I don't want the freaken drivers to automatically load all these Steam games into profiles ffs.

[Cartel]

The chipset driver is useless, no update for SATA.
I'm gonna hold off on the video driver for now.

[karma77police]

This **** is broken, get's stuck installing on 2%...no responding. F. you AMD.

[The Mac]

FRTC works fine for me in FO4.

i have it set to 60 globally, and 59 in FO4. works fine.

[Cartel]

[mootiger]

Driver seems to have removed support for higher than 60hz refresh rates for me.
i run an old 19" panel .. 14[email protected] ... driver now only supports 60hz at any resolution.

[email protected]

[email protected]

Most of my games i run Vsync (simply cos at that resolution 300fps in dx9 games the card gets a hot and noisy) and Vsync'ing down to 60hz is just uncomfortable for me.

I've tried the custom resolutions feature ([email protected]) but I can't work out if the feature has taken as windows still only lists 60 as max refresh rate.

My gaming choice is to just enable FRTC @ 75/76 and turn vsync off on everything i run, But since i get migraines when i run 60hz I need to get the desktop refresh pushed back to 75hz.

Anyone got ideas on how to get desktop refresh rate increased ?

[nutcrackr]

The host application stops working regularly, seems broken.

Also getting crashes in Battlefront...

[Cartel]

QT....fail

[nutcrackr]

I rolled back. Two blue screens, half a dozen crashes in Battlefront, a few host process crashes and a partridge in a pear tree.

15.11.1 betas for me

[DarkFoss]

Seems to be working fine for me. Folding is fast and stable, the few games I've run through only the Tome Raider menu's a bit off when in 3-D. I haven't seen any crashes in the Radeon Settings app either. I did use DDU before installing Crimson.

[Lupine]

Thanks mootiger!

[SoCalMX70]

Runs fine, no crashes through a couple hours of battlefront last night.

Liking the interface, but this is not even close to being functional.
Used for one hour and:

- had an app crash (see Cartel's post)

- my two side Eyefinity monitors are disabled by default, only way to activate them is to go through Windows native display properties. All the relevant functionality has disappeared from Crimson

- hotkeys gone (WTF), extremely useful to switch between Eyefinity and single screen. Now I have to open Crimson, launch what remains of CCC, disable Eyefinity and rinse and repeat to go backwards: painstaking.

- once again, color control can only be done through CCC, making me wonder what the whole point of Crimson is

- chipset driver installer and RAID utility installer are completely borked, nothing shows up in the packages list

for me, usual AMD sloppiness so far

[xwl]

These drivers are crap, someone at AMD needs to hire a real UX expert (me, I'm steps from commerce valley, lol), that will create a functional interface that targets what end-users need/use and not just a pretty dumbed down interface. Do it right the first time, not a multi-phase approach that will take years. /end rant

- Fallout 4 compass is broken. (FIX: crouch to see it properly)
- GPU scaling is stuck ON, in one of my 3 monitors. When I switch it OFF, it switches itself back ON after few seconds.
- Can't access my profiles from taskbar icon. To change my profile/preset, I have to open Crimson, click Display, click Additional Settings (opens CCC), click Presets, click my profile. F*!

[bittermann]

Installed last night on my FX-8800P laptop. Installed fine and the new interface is cool, just got to get used to it. The UI crashes every time I click on the "Display" properties button. Every other button works fine. Weird but more of an annoyance than anything earth shattering.

PS: anybody know how well that higher resolution or up-scaling button works? Its either on or off so there is nothing else to configure?

Is the eyefinity settings not under display? Actually if I am remembering correctly, there was an eyefinity tab at the bottom. Are the options missing?

[Final8ty]

FreeSync Eyefinity

name="Peter Nixeus]
Yes - I can confirm FreeSync does work with Eyefinity as long as you are using DisplayPort cable direct connections to the AMD Radeon's DisplayPort outputs (not using adapters/converters).

1) You also need to use 3 of the exact same monitors for it to work correctly.

2) Depending on the amount of Eyefinity monitors you want to run, you will need a FreeSync capable Radeon Card with that same amount of DisplayPort outputs.

will check later on!

[Argoon1981]

Installed them seem to work fine so far.

[LordHawkwind]

Installed them seem to work fine so far.

Installed over 15.11.1 betas and seem to be working OK for me. Newest game I tried it on was Dirt Rally and it worked fine. Tried Mordor worked fine so looks like I'll be keeping these for now. New GUI is so so tbh not very impressed.

[WaltC]

I've reverted to the 15.11.1b's. I was shocked to discover that there is no way to change screen resolutions from within Crimson. The basic functionality of resolution switching has been removed from the drivers! I have to actually leave Crimson and go to Win10 Display Properties change the resolution! The systray icon no longer provides information and the functions it used to, either! Unreal. This thing seems like a console program for the xBone or PS4--it's nothing like a Catalyst release.

I've monkeyed with the custom refresh option--can't get it to work. But the ancient CRU works fine!

I thought sure that this release would add screen res & refresh control to individual game profiles, like it added fan control and overclocking--had no idea that Crimson would strip them out. This thing had to be meant for consoles. Doesn't make sense anywhere else.

Edit: Not so hard to solve this--install the 15.11.b's and then use the Device manager to install the 15.30xxxx Crimson drivers into the most recent CCC--instructions below for whomever might need them:

Install the 15.11.1b cats, then open up the Device Manager select your GPU driver under "Display Adapter." Right-click on the name of your driver, then select "Update Driver Software" and then select "Browse My Computer," and then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," and then select "Have Disk" and then point the program here: C\:AMD\Radeon-Crimson-15.11-Win10-64-bit\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\C02969567.inf and select Open--and the 15.30xxxx Crimson drivers will be installed into the 15.11.1 CCC *and* you will also get the new Custom Refresh Utility--assuming you can get it to work--as well. You should have all hotkey function back, etc. Everything seems to work fine--haven't tested everything, though.



This gives you the Crimson drivers and solves all control problems with resolution switching & hotkeys, etc.



Note: The specific driver numbers above may vary a bit from your own unless you have the same card that I do--an R9 380 4GB.

[Loser-P]

The only option I ever change is now buried in the CCC remnant that is the Additional Settings of the Display section.

The Use EDID option is an effective way of limiting my display's gamut to sRGB that I usually switch off to play games, and back on to browse the web.

Instead of opening right to the last settings page I last used I have to click through 3 different buttons to get where I want.

Also opening the Additional Settings dialog resets the vlut forcing me to open another program to reload my calibration.

same here, real pain in the butt and highly unprofessional from AMD. Can't believe such issues still show up.
Totally unimpressed so far

[Cartel]

Total garbage.

Crashes flashplayer, fan goes to 100% and the radeon control thing is fubar.
Glad I did a image on my C: drive before I installed this poor excuse of a driver.

Waited 4 months for this....?

Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

[Dyre Straits]

All of my Steam games have showed up and, per the notes, AMD has autoset a profile for each game.

What criteria is being used to set that profile?

I prefer to use my own profile for each game according to my own preferences.

Is this, essentially, AMD forcing the Gaming Evolved on us?

[Lurk]

can someone explain me why both RAIDXpert and chipset drivers installers do not show the relevant packages?
I launch the installer, select 'install' and the packages window only shows HDMI audio, control panel and drivers, but no SATA, AHCI, RAIDXpert to be installed. If I do choose to install anyway, nothing happens

No... They are default (Global Settings) unless YOU change them.

[blurter]

LOL

If you go into the Gaming - Global Settings and hit Reset - Shader Cache then reboot you will get a windows error message......LOL


Also setting FRTC in any game profile DOESN'T FLUCKING WORK FFS.........Quick!!! we need more bananas :

Just kidding


Good drivers if you liken them broken.....huge step backwards from catalyst and CCC
