Anyone tested the new drivers already ? I not interested in ReLive. I just want to know whether "Wattman" has taken over the "Overdrive" for non RX series cards .
To me, Wattman seems more complicated than Overdrive

It doesn't seem ReLive is anything to shout about , OBS with the same HEVC is much better because OBS provides a large variety of settings.

I've been using OBS with AMD's hardware encoding , the performance hit is much similar to ReLive (720p 60fps)  , though I'm using a pretty old GC now (7850) , recording in CSGO seems to be okay , in heavy Graphics game , such as Dying light , the recorded video seems to have freezing issues while in game there weren't any issues.  With a much higher end card I'm pretty sure it ain't a problem anymore.

Fun fact , I tried recording with ReLive in Dying Light just now , just when I stepped out of the base , the whole screen literally went Blue , and it restarted my pc , it wasn't a BSOD though.

Okay now. I just tested AMD Chill feature. It is not working with Dota 2 even when I am just watching those ranked match both in Vulkan and DX11. FPS still hovering around 120+ ~ 160+ fps

I5 4690k 4.5ghz
R9 290 flashed to R9 390 with mem mod. Core 1100 , Mem 1400
Running 1440p .

You're right. For Overwatch, Radeon Chill works. It drops the fps to 40 only when I don't move the mouse. Once I move the mouse , fps back to normal .

Another reasonable priced Ultrawide monitor with Free Sync:

Such a good price, if only it has a 1080 one. Even at that I think my RX480 is gonna sweat a lot.

LG has a 32 inch Ultrawide at 2560x1080 monitor.

Not sure whether there is free sync or not.

I found a bug with this new ReLive drivers. During OC, for some weird reason, the memory clock does not go up as it should, it stays at 150Mhz during gaming . I am not the only one having this issue.

Dota 2 at 25~26fps for an R9 290 . WTF !!!
Memory Clock Speed locked at 150Mhz

Eh guys, so this overlay function in the new driver only works for stream output only, and not on local display? 

I was referring to this LG 34UM58 which has a resolution of 2560x1080 but unfortunately no Free Sync.

Anyway that unlocked RX460 - it's still no competitor to 1050TI, is it?

-snip-

Referance-build RX480s are.. pretty cheap, imo with coupons lying around. Would that be a better option instead of partner-tricked RX470 boards? What do you guys think?

my brothers gtx 1050ti sucking 91 watts from pcie  . saw the gpu z log when the gpu boost to 1.7ghz it takes 91 watts damn scary

For me the new driver is problematic.
Maybe if you don't OC , its good for you.
Once you OC using Wattman, the memory clock speed revert to a fixed 150Mhz out of the blue and stuck there unless you reinstall the driver again, but it does not solve the issue totally.
I went back to the previous driver.

Any eta on Vega?  Fury's seem to be at a really good price point right now and I need something with Freesync @ 1440p/4k with settings at medium.

If it's going to be months before Vega is out (especially in Malaysia ) I might as well buy a Fury.

I using single monitor also got this problem.

hey
i heard amd no more support gcn 1.0 and 1.1 for direct X 12 is it?

hi, i wanna ask. i have r9 390. so far so good. i never update the amd driver since i bought the entire new pc together with the gpu. i heard that if i update the driver, it will not perform as good as the old driver for the same game. meaning that if i update the driver, the gpu may not churn out fps as high as previous driver. is it true?

Just gotten myself a AOC AGON AG322FCX 31.5" FHD 144Hz FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor. Photos attached:

Ready for Vega.

The box of the AOC AGON AG322FCX 31.5" FHD 144Hz FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor is bloody huge:

hi guys, is the latest amd driver stable? i will update later on

ok, then which version is stable in every aspect
