Had just installed windows 11 updates with system crash - hopefully this will fix it

It surprises me to see how Vulkan continues to infinitely gain new extensions...

Wow support for Topaz Gigapixel AI. I hope this improves the render time by a factor of 100. I tried to use the recovery option and it said it would take 1h42m on my 6800XT.

I wonder what kind of powermanagment (?) error hits dual ccd / AMD GPU users like me in windows 11. Latest Quality update to windows led to blue screen during loading in games and apparently the new driver from AMD for the GPU fixed it?

I wonder if its all the AI tinkering from Microsoft and Intel/AMD that gives these strange errors on both dual CCD and i9

 

[TriCyclops]

oddly, this update actually decreased the performance of Helldivers 2 on my PC. What's that about?

I think it's a lot easier to think of it as MS doing, well, anything with windows. Anytime they touch anything they break something.

Clear the shader cache.

Clear the shader cache.

Thank you.

Wow! It only took them two years to fix that! Finally!

For that game it might be worth keeping this in mind for old saves

It never happened with my GTX1080, only with my RX 6900.

The boost for HD2 in these drivers has been pretty nice easily seeing a 20% gain in fps.

Did a quick capture on the ship and gpu and cpu usage are both up.

Waiting for Anti-Lag+ return before upgrading drivers.
