Garbage is an understatement, these things only install the report wizard thing and the hdmi audio drivers. Tried five times using DDU and they still refused to install the full package. :mad:

Back to 16.11.5 for me.
 
Still eeking out that performance in Deus Ex Mankind Divided

Ya seems good here. The one problem I had since 16.11.5 was WOT crashing but that went away at some point I have no idea why... might've been a micro update from the game dev... These drivers seem solid so far on both now the R 290 and before on the RX 480.
 
Benched with my Fury X:

Also, TAA enabled.

Should probably lower a setting or two...... Can't wait for Vega!

Just found out I didn't use "max settings", so here's another run with everything maxed:

Running 16:9 1440p better than I thought it would be maxing out the game :3

Wasn't such a bad result yourself! Would be interesting to see how a RX580 would do it in 3440 x 1440. =)

Oh I tried to make a custom resolution but this is my first AMD card and I failed miserably and had to reinstall the drivers :D

If I can find an easy tutorial on the net I'll give it a go again.

Well after a small screwup and a desktop icon explosion here we are.

Nice! Thanks!

Not a bad result! Since Polaris 20 has 1792 fewer stream processors, half the compute units and 112 less TMU's than Fiji XT. Optimizations FTW!

Although, not so playable, but not for me neither...

I'll try a run at 2560 x 1440! Just for fun.
 
2560 x 1440:

I'm impressed by the RX580 and how well it performs! I bought the Fury X for USD 795! RX580 8GB Aorus can be had for USD 335 where I live, but it doesn't have half the performance! In my mind it (RX580) should cost 495! :lol:

Conversion rates of today is used, I bought the Fury X in september 2015.

A Fury Pro owner here. I'm still keeping it and yes, 480/580 is pretty good, but not at higher resolution. I'm waiting for Vega. It should be twice faster or more over Fury. :D

But I'll upgrade to Ryzen first between in July-August or later than that.
 
Yeah. But I can't say that Deus Ex MK is playable with my X @ 3440 x 1440 with everything maxed. And if I can't game on my PC with everything at max, I could just game on my Xone or switch IMHO. The point of gaming on PC is to have that extra gfx over consoles!

I'm buying "fat"Vega myself when it's out. I'm curious if my good old 3770K @ 4.8 will be able to feed it adequately though :hmm:
