Then my poor plasma must be doing it wrong...
I'm not trying to say your HDMI input would not display the PC signal you send to it on your TV's. You should be happy, AMD is making an adapter for your AMD card (Which seems you don't have), so thanks for chiming in anyways.

Sure, you can game on a TV, you can game on a in-dash car screen, or anything with a video input if you wanted to. You are just making sacrifices to do so that a typical Gaming monitor would not. That's all.... And although technically it's possible it doesn't happen, but yes, the sun will rise again tomorrow, so please let's not do the semantics flame war that always happens in a GPU thread.

My error seems to have been caused by me downloading the wrong version, which meant that the driver didn't get updated to latest version.

Graphics vendors tend to focus the newer drivers on recent hardware. If these drivers cover the past 3 years then they're doing as expected. Fact is, if you take the hardware too far back to VLIW? Or whatever it was before GCN, its almost legacy is it not?
I would hope not from a consumer point of view. AMD was still releasing "new" VLIW5 cards as recently as 18 months ago.

My point was more sarcasm at the fact my plasma screen tv has arguably better response, input lag, and color reproduction than ANY gaming LCD. Of course, it also draws nearly 500w at the wall, but meh. As for not owning amd, that is a recent occurance. Hardly a fanboy and still able to comment objectively...

Nice to read, but unfortunately too late for me. Just bought two 980Ti's after ~15 years at the red camp. :cool:
I hope this helps AMD to gain a bit of market share back again. At least it looks nice... ;)

Come on guys, don't derail this thread with TV vs Monitor.
Both has its own advantages and disadvantages. Make new thread if you want, I'll be happy to share my opinion.

Soo, just tried it. Yeah, it fast. Old CCC really is ancient.

Thx AMD for yet again not supporting a 4 years old product (laptop is like 3 years old) on which entire notebook depends (it's not swapable or upgradable like in PC), AMD E-450 APU that is. When Windows 10 was released, support for it was dropped without ANY kind of notification. Gee, thanks. Anyone thinking of buying an AMD powered laptop, don't. They apparently aren't interested in supporting buyers of their products. Not only is this GPU blacklisted in all browsers other than IE/Edge from hardware acceleration because it's apparently so buggy, they also just don't support it anymore entirely. Excellent support. Not. And this is HD6000 series GPU for fucks sake!

Why, every thread man :) Have you ever bothered looking in the "Legacy" section?

Here are your drivers (E-450 = HD 6320) - Crimson Beta
  • AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 (including A/D/G/M variants) Series Graphics
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows+10+-+64

Keep in mind this GPU is not GCN, and came out almost 5 years ago. Not surprising it's not in the mainstream releases.

Crimson's Custom Resolution doesn't work with 'weird' resolution apparently.

So I tried 3440x1440 and get display not supported error (probably true since it's uncommon).
But with CRU I could run 3440x1440 centered.

First impressions are pretty bad. The one option I use regularly ( Coulour correction) is now hidden behind more button presses and to make matters worse, You get to it by pressing "additional settings" and that just loads up basically the same older control centre but slower than it used to.

I like it. It's very fast, all the options that are important for me are easily accessed (mostly with fewer clicks than in CCC), and the look is simple and stylish. Having per-game OC settings is awesome, my overclock has typically been stable in some games and not in others. I think this is a big improvement, and beats not only CCC but also the Nvidia control panel easily.

After fighting to install the driver, it seems to work. I did notice this little gem which makes me smile. :)

Not having to switch between regular and eyefinity is an incredibly nice little utility. I wonder if it works well.

He has every right to whine about it, although he has made his point here and to be honest the complaint be more useful on the AMD forums than here.

He's just pissed, so am i as ours we only got 2 year ago and they dropped it. What makes people mad is that the laptop at the time ran like a champ and now it runs like complete crap so yeah he's pissed get over it.

I was only clarifying my post's point, not trying to derail. Both options are totally legit and sorry for keeping it up this long.

I unfortunately am not presently using AMD hardware, but I'm curious if anyone has noticed if the crashing issue above is happening to more than one user? Stability is important, after-all.

Displayport is better in every way except cable length over HDMI anyways, who cares. Nice that they added it, but not as special as you want it to be. Are there even any HDMI 2.0 monitors available? My dell P2715Q doesn't have it.

FWIW: They removed poor performance in ED in Super Cruise mode from the known issues list however in my opinion the issue has gotten 50% worse. Before it wouldn't drop below 23FPS, now it's dropping to 13FPS. Switching between fullscreen and borderless does nothing and disabling all AA has zero impact.

Jeez AMD, if you're going to remove a known issue, maybe you should actually fix it first... Elite: Dangerous with these drivers in Super Cruise mode is literally unplayable with these drivers. Pretty disappointed in fact. I'll continue my testing with some other games but, Elite: Dangerous seems to behave so badly that it's out of the question.
