Gg amd...oh hey look nvidia managed to release another driver today.

I am calling this right now. Even though AMD knows it has fixes in this upcoming driver, even though it has been months since the last driver. AMD will release the new drivers to the media first first so they can squeeze out whatever self promotion they can first. That is how AMD feels about their customers.

It's funny how everybody use to moan about AMD having a new driver every month and how it was so much better that nVidia didn't...
 
I prefer more regular driver releases because you can always go back to a previous one. Maybe they'll have a driver out for BF Hardline.

I don't mind a few months delay if they have something big planned.
 
I heard they are doing is to added some new features, and of course including the crossfire profiles. I don't know if someone mentioned the CCC GUI will be redesigned. I actually really don't mind waiting a few months. Since they are probably working on a next driver that is going to have a lot of change logs. I'm completely satisfied with 14.12 driver for months and no problems.
 
Wouldn't mind it at all if they would release the crossfire profiles. But they don't. So there is aboaluelty NO reason as an AMD crossfire user to buy any game within the first 2-3 months of release. If you were a gpu manufacturer is that what you would want to be known for? Buy our cards they keep you from buying new games, think of the money you will save! AMD the wait it's meant to be played!

Those 15.2's count next to nothing from AMD.
Although I don't agree with pretty much anything he says and how he says it to the point I have the honor of being on his ignore list, this post says it all:

Just sayin' that Nvidia has released three drivers in one month, one of which on an AAA title release day, and one a hotfix.
Kinda makes me lol when I hear AMDMatt on guru3d saying they only want to release drivers when they are sure everything is perfect and meets highest standards. Then he says VSR implementation will happen in a next set of drivers.
It's either these people have lost total knowledge of how things work, or the company is in serious trouble. I'm afraid both.

ME: Sorry boss, gonna take another month to finish this assignement. Wanna make sure it's absolutely perfect.
BOSS: (silent, points at the door)

I'm really sad for this situation. If all of my titles don't run Crossfire perfectly wit the next Catalyst, I'm thinking I should give single NV GPU's a try.

And it's going to take me quite a while anyway before I have the cash to spare for one of their high-end cards.

My point is not to threaten or anything; it's just a sad consideration, really. And since they are the only competing GPU company, comparisons are totally inevitable.

because we all know they all won't run perfectly with SLI either :hmm:

and that's the reason I said "...I should give single NV GPU's a try."
You've even quoted it in bold! ;)

good luck with NVidia surround and with only a single 980, it can't do a single 1600p screen in new games
let alone 3 -1080p screens in NVidia surround


better off waiting for a single 390x, but i'll bet you will still need 2 cards

maybe a single titan 2 but that will most likely cost more than 2 390x's
 
So far I've only used the three monitors for games that wouldn't require me to turn IQ down in order to achieve playable framerate, i.e. I've been playing with max settings FSX, Shift2, Alien Isolation and Elite: Dangerous. I doubt I would run into problems with these titles in surround gaming at 1080p.

Nevertheless, my future plan is a powerful single GPU with a 21:9 single screen (a curved monitor would be overkill), although it won't happen for a long time due to my bank account.
I have to remain an unsatisfied AMD customer for quite a while, I'm afraid, unless the company starts showing a little mor love. Which is what I obviously hope.
 
Personally, I think AMD is timing the release of new drivers with that of the R390x card release....Just a thought.
 
Of course they are, why waste a chance at self promotion. Heck it's only your customers who you are pooping on in the process. Maybe they will pull a mantle and just say you know what, no more drivers if you want drivers go nvidia.
 
Hardline is coming out in a couple of weeks, AFAIK it is a gaming evolved title so there should be a driver ready for that one.
 
wtf AMD, seriously, WTF.

actually you know what, screw you, that's what.

depressing situation this is :yep:
