AMD released its encouraging fourth update to Radeon Software Crimson Edition for this month, with version 16.5.3 beta. The new drivers come with optimization for three games - "Overwatch," "Total War: Warhammer," and "Dota 2" with Vulkan API. The drivers also add CrossFireX profiles for "Overwatch" and "Total War: Warhammer." The drivers address a micro-stutter issue affecting CrossFire machines on "Fallout 4." Grab the drivers from the links below.

Im still waiting for the video settings to be returned to their former glory, cause they currently suck, and are giving me reason to consider the other camp, I hate having settings in every application, and instead want to turn them all off and just use the old video settings they had.

Overwatch and DOTA2 are Vulkan as well? Looks like devs are really picking up Vulkan more than they do DX12. Interesting.

AMD on top of their driver game O.O holy crap, if only the driver overhead wasn't so high we'd have good low res performance :( but this is amazing :D

Read the notes, it's just Dota 2 that is on Vulkan.

Not enough posting that in the Nvidia driver thread? And in that thread, it was noted there are still driver releases for legacy cards.

Its a classic "shitpost" off topic, and potentially inflammatory. He is either really smart, or really dumb.

Nvidia past generation GPUs aging terribly - version 2






And here are more. :/


https://disqus.com/home/discussion/...mance_will_come_in_four_v/#comment-2674831444
************ GIMP ALERT!!! **************
If you are running a Maxwell card, pay close attention.
Latest Nvidia drivers 365.19 look like they are gimping Maxwell cards
Proof:
Before updating drivers to 365.19
Prior to installing the new drivers, I ran some tests with 3DMark Firestrike Ultra 1.1
I was averaging around 7820-7837.
See results for details
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8419939
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458151
After Updating to 365.19 my Firestrike Ultra scores have dropped by about 1000!!!
I ran 6 different steps (stock and overclocked) and I am averaging between 6200 - 6907
So far, I have been unable to break 7000 with the exact same config:
See and compare my results for yourselves
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458189
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458224
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458256
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458341
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458364
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8458392
Note: This is only one test system, so we need more data to be sure. If you are running a Maxwell card, please run tests of your own, and compare with your previous Firestrike scores. I havent tried running Firestrike Extreme or other benchmarks as well, so it might be an issue with 4K only. I have reviewed my results many times over but can find no discernible difference in my config exccept for the change in drivers. Please review my results and feel free to point out any inconsistencies I might have missed. As I said we need more data .
If these drivers have been gimped, it is in everyones interest that this is discovered and exposed. Dont expect WCCFTech or any other tech journalists to do their homework. We are not the ones paying their bills.
Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Interesting. With these new drivers I get severe screen tearing on my left monitor if I scroll down really fast on my Facebook feed. Never happened with the previous release.
