AMD Radeon Crimson Edition Drivers

KainXS · Nov 27, 2015

does anyone know if these drivers support pre 5K cards, on amd's site it says that they are eol and thats about all but in the drivers inf even the 2900XT(entire 2K series and up actually) is in it.

I am wondering if this driver will work on a older pc with a HD4250

Crimson only supports GCN based GPUs. VLIW GPUs like @L'Eliminateur 5870 and my old 6870 aren't supported. 2000-series were removed from support ages ago.

yea I tried it only has a newer HDMI driver for that old lappy, well thats something at least considering its not supported

Finally figured out my problem with Civilization IV. I had to disable AGP texture acceleration. I didn't have to do that until I installed Crimson, and it broke something, because even after I went back to 15.7.1 I still had to disable the texture acceleration. And of course there's no option to do that in any AMD/ATI UI, let alone Crimson. I had to fiddle around with the registry...

Just attempted three installs on 3 different machines and here's my results:

Desktop:
Took about 2 minutes to complete on it (Raid 0 Samsung 840 and 850 Pro) installing just over old install, no problems though screen stayed black through most of the install so I didn't get to see what it was doing. Restarted, no issues so far.

Laptop with FX 7500 APU:
Fresh install of Windows 8.1 (Soon to be 10), decided to try the install fresh on it and it took less than a minute (OCZ SSD Trion).

Laptop with A10 5600M:
Installed on Windows 10 over older Catalyst, took it more than 2 minutes on a san disk SSD (may have been more than 3 but I did not time it, just took a lot longer than others I noticed).

All three don't seem to show any issues so far but only my desktop has been tested much. Seems ok to me but I need to try Star Wars and some other games before I say its all good. Only thing I noticed that I really like so far is the Freesync monitors show up and show their range in the display.

Apparently theres an issue with the crimson drivers that locks your fan speed at very low speeds, even when you are gaming and for some reason some cards are not thermal throttling and are getting ruined, it happened to me as well but i noticed the fan speed was locked before any damage was done, just make sure the fan speed is on auto in the control panel.

THEY...are NOT "STABLE" within the Fallout 4(PC)game---period! That IS the consensus from every PC gamer on the web,that reviews(fairly and truthfully),even the most recent beta version of that driver!
Also, that Raptr(sub-program)---is a joke! Always has been,and apparently ...always will be,it's never been an attribute only a detriment to any installed game(s).
Whether, you agree with me or not...these are my facts(based on experience!).

And,if you don't like the way I punctuate-------get over it!

Im a PC gamer... on the web, and its stable for me. So your theory is wrong.

I actually read the install instructions and didn't install Raptr.

I could care less.

I can't switch the primary display with these drivers, need that, uninstalled, they were running fine though.

Same section Bytales is talking about, it's not working anymore.

Do it in Windows?

TheButcherNL · Dec 8, 2015

Am sure that option wasn't there last week, else would have seen it, maybe some bug, I will try it again later this week, thanks

Getting 60fps v-sync'ed on fallout4 @2560x1600 and as for the Raptr Gaming app, just delete it's config file and it'll work again(if interested).
