AMD Radeon 16.6.2 driver out

Disappointed that the new overclocking utility doesn't work with the Fury cards. Sapphires utility, Trixx allows voltage control but it would have been nice to see AMD support this as most reference cards are made by Sapphire anyway.

The new GPUs have new power and clock states in their BIOS that the previous cards don't have. Wattman may have some support for older GPUs in the future perhaps (not up to me unfortunately) since it does have some very nifty features vs the old Overdrive. I haven't even managed to break it yet in my testing which is good :)

@ nutcrackr
Yes indeed although it uses the Windows wizard for colour calibration rather than reinventing the wheel it looks like. Colour temperature is still the same as the old one in the prior CCC.

Which card and which monitor? Are you sure as the button isn't in a super obvious place for the display colour (top right)

Hoyl **** the hitman bug where you zoom in and the screen goes white is mentioned hopefully they fix that soon, the DX12 performance is too good to not use it.
 
Yeah that is an annoying bug and only happens on certain cards, doesn't occur on RX 480s for example under DX12.

Hmm, it don't work with anything but a 480?
That is pretty lame.
 
One odd issue so far the fan on my second fury gets set to 20% when booting into the desktop and stays there until I go into the control panel Gaming Overdrive tab and click reset. The fan spins down but the fan speed still shows 20% when everything else is zeroed out. GPUz does show the fan drops to zero. I just let AMD upgrade the driver not a clean install.

@spyre Congrats on your promotion. :)
 
@DarkFoss
Thanks very much :)

As far as I am aware the Overdrive tab the fans default to 20% just to make sure that peoples cards don't overheat and die for when it stops being a slave card when Crossfire is disabled. It also depends what the card BIOS has set in regard to fan speed and thermal control so it isn't something easy to say one way or the other what the correct behavior should be. In general if it wasn't doing it before and it is doing it now with the latest drivers then report it is the best way :)

Reported issues get looked at (I attend a big weekly meeting where the most important issues get discussed and tracked to make sure they get fixed). Please include the Bios Part number and Bios version of your cards as that could make a difference when the issue gets replicated.

@Evileh
Via what connection method? and what OS?
 
Just wanted to let Spyre know that I'm a huge fan of that Virtual Super Resolution! Works great on my Samsung 1080P 60" TV with desktop and gaming.
 
@bittermann
Yeah I haven't used it until now as it wasn't doable on my 55 inch 4K TV since it was already too high a resolution. I have a Asus Freesync 144Hz 2560 x 1440 monitor to test with now so I can try it at last.

@ Evileh
I just noticed that the colour temperature is only available for Displayport not HDMI for some odd reason so that could be why you don't see it.

It's literally the best thing since sliced bread. I've been using it for a long time now. Makes games look incredible.
