AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.11.1 Update

btarunr · Dec 1, 2015

AMD today released Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.11.1 Update. A follow up to last week's major release, version 15.11.1 addresses a major issue with driver-level VGA fan speed control, which saw the driver either crank fan-speeds up to 100%, or lock them down to 30%, causing GPUs to overheat. In addition, the driver addresses several game-specific bugs related to Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Call of Duty Black Ops III.

Check the charge on your fire extinguishers, and put 911 on speed dial...the AMD driver team came up with this update very quickly: I'm just sayin', their track record merits caution.

With this news, I'm going to install the Crimson driver on my 2 pcs that haven't been updated yet. I want to see how it affects those gpus (7770 and 270x), if it'll burn one up and force me to get a new card

If it does mess it up, I'll update to this new beta.

The AMD page gives you this driver both por GCN and WLIV based cards, does anyone know if that is correct?

Not according to the download release notes. It looks the same as regular Crimson.

It's probably time to throw in the towel so to speak on VLIW GPUs. They've been around for a long time and it's time for support to be dropped in order to focus on the newer and more flexible architecture of GCN. VLIW5 like on my old 6870s has its limitations and it's only holding AMD back from focusing on their newer products by having to support it. We got quite the stint of support for these GPUs though. I bought my first 6870 on release day and got to enjoy over 5 years of support. That's not too shabby in my opinion.

The new driver has definitions in the INF files for cards going as far back as the Radeon HD 2600 XT, so I'd wager a guess and say that the driver files still have the applicable code paths for these cards.

That'd be a shocker considering there hasn't been a Radeon 2000/3000/4000 driver code path in these drivers for quite some time outside the legacy branch.

Somehow i doubt thats going to get me much functionality, or has it been tested?

Esse · Dec 1, 2015

New update breaks Battlefront.

After every death my screen flashes black for a split second.

I also can't tab out and back in without clicking multiple times very fast to keep it full screen.

edit; no games can full-screen without lots of clicking. Oh well, back to the older drivers.

agent00skid · Dec 1, 2015

Tried to run it on my laptop, and it installed just fine. Lost OpenCL in the process though.

Mussels · Dec 1, 2015

Oh somehow i failed to notice these drivers existed with a seperate download for the legacy devices, derped on that one. downloading the right file for my laptop now.

Ebo · Dec 1, 2015

Yeah and the new driver makes problems in AC Black Flag instead, what a peice of junk.

progste · Dec 1, 2015

Mh... Having liquid cooling the fan profile was not an issue, now I'm not sure if it's worth risking to break stuff by installing this version, I love their cards but wish AMD would test their drivers a bit more.

Mussels · Dec 1, 2015

i'm having no trouble with these drivers on my laptop or desktop.

had to use DDU on the laptop, but that was likely due to using modded drivers initially.

I've been using DDU ever since I upgraded to Windows 10. There have been more instances than not where drivers haven't updated properly and just cleaning them out before upgrading ensures that doesn't happen. I'm convinced that a lot of issues that crop up are because of this.

in the past i had lots of issues with various driver cleaner programs, DDU seems to be working well for me. I have windows update disabled and use a third party tool, so i do not have driver issues like that.

I've had the issue using AMD's installer to upgraded drivers. I too have driver updates from Windows Update disabled.

progste · Dec 1, 2015

I'm still on win7, I don't think I'll upgrade any time soon.

GoldenX · Dec 1, 2015

Installed it with no problems on Win10, no need for DDU.
I'm going to try it on my brother's HD5450, the .inf shows all cards, even the DX10 ones.

m0nt3 · Dec 1, 2015

I haven't tested these yet, but on the previous crimson drivers while in BF4 when I press the tab I would get big block squares (for lack of a better description) around certain objects on ocassion. I did not suffer from the fan speed bug. My temps stayed around 76C and 45% fan speed in BF4.

Octopuss · Dec 1, 2015

I hate the fact that you can't change the language in this new (Crimson in general I mean) driver. Piece of shit software automatically shows everything in czech on my PC, and I seriously don't know what the hell most of the settings mean.

I'm getting a flickering Gps marker in Fallout4 even with the new beta update ....not before the crimson drivers
