Catalyst 14.12 WHQL Omega Windows®

What percentage of users are actually using multiple GPUS? I know that does not excuse poor support, but low usage would certainly indicate priority.
 
its niche. as is flagship/Halo

mid-range is their bread and butter.

There is obviously a large majority here, and other sites like this, as we are enthusiasts.

they do launch single multigpu cards though too and like two cards they also require crossfire profiles to work properly.

Those are "Halo" products.

Flagship=Fastest single cards (980/290x)
Halo=Fastest no limitation, money is no object cards. (titanz/295x)

who gives a **** what they are? If they don't work 100% they're doing their customers a disservice. You should want your top of the line flagship and/or halo products to be king of the hill, not just a minor bump in some circumstances. You want these products to be a showcase of what you can do as a manufacturer, and if they don't do what they're supposed to what does it say about your lesser products?
 
i dont know what you are on about.

OP asked what percentage of Xfire users is. Barring any hard numbers, the relative percentage is minimal.

My answer stands.

Its Niche, just like Flagship and Halo products.

Niche is not an excuse when they're literally your showcase products.

If Porsche, McLaren or Ferrari's new hypercars didn't work when it was too warm outside or if you weren't on a highway they wouldn't let you use the electric powertrains they wouldn't have done them, and they certainly wouldnt be making excuses for it, they would be fixing them because it looks bad for their ENTIRE product line even though hey, they're super expensive and only a handful of people bought them so whatever, they don't really matter and this doesn't reflect upon us as a company.

Flagship and or halo products are the all-out culmination of the company's technical prowess. If it doesn't work that's a big ****ing problem.

You can sit here with your blinders on an be an AMD apologist all you want it doesn't change anyone in this threads opinion no matter how hard you try.
 
again, OP did not ask for your opinion on the current state of driver development.

He asked what is the percentage of xfire users compared to single gpu users.

Direct your rage elsewhere.

Actually OP is about the Catalyst 14.12 Omega release. This thread is about the discussion of it.

Maybe you don't know what the acronym OP stands for.
 
OP = Original Post/Poster. Referers to either the 1st post in a thread, or the poster of question currently being discussed.

I was answering a question of the poster above me.

Perhaps YOU should refresh your understanding of what OP means.

Either way your nerd rage is misdirected.

That's the original post, if you don't like me discussing the state of AMD drivers in a thread about the most recent driver release, well tough noogies.
 
i have no problems with you discussing anything you like.

However, you were specifically responding to my post out of context.

I made no comment whatsoever about the current state of development, only answers to the OPs (the person posting above me) question.

You chose it as an opportunity to render your opinion out of context, attempt to marginalize my response, and vent your rage.

Crossfire users are being punished for their gluttony. Having bought two AMD cards effectively entitles us to partial support only.

"Use our top-of the-line products, go niche and get half of the support you need!"
"Buy two cards, try advanced technolgy, experience total oblivion!"

:nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

Must be a new marketing strategy.
By looking at their market share, it doesn't look like it's working too well.

Release these f***ing drivers all-right AMD, it's been a quarter of a year. Time to get your sorry ass moving, I think, and show us idiots you actually give a damn :)

EDIT: from what I'm reading on the web, I wouldn't be surprised if this latest move from AMD will result in another 5% loss of their already meager market share :up:
