AMD Announces Radeon Crimson Software

[natr0n]

to me just a new interface you set and forget.

Other than that it works well, no issues on my end.

Where is the brushed metallic theme I thought it was supposed to have?

 

[Aquinus]

For what it's worth. I clicked "Additional settings" under "Display" and I got a legacy Catalyst Control Center Window.

So much for not requiring .NET, huh?

 

[natr0n]

It's in zombie software mode.

its faster than CCC but still has CCC in it(they call it CCCSlim though) some settings are still walled behind CCC, also kept getting random Cnext.exe crashes I'm hoping they remove CCC completely to make the drivers more seamless.

edit:
sweeping previous driver completely fixed the cnext crashing I was having.

Probably because I'm not using DDU,
- Fallout 4 compass is broken with this driver.
- Can't turn off GPU Scaling
- Not sure how to set FRTC. It's supposed to be disabled, but it's actually enabled.
Will try later with DDU.

Installed, took like 2 mins to install. Ran Bf4 for over an hour and all is well. I be happy. Theres only one little thing I see. It picks up all my steam games and makes a profile for them but it doesn't see my Origin games. Oh well.

Fwiw it picked up my Origin games along with my Steam games. I haven't messed with anything about them yet though

Edit: correction... BF4 isn't showing up

Not having issues yet & the new UI is very nice

 

[Divide Overflow]

GPU-Z is going to need an update to say goodbye to Catalyst.

The new drivers are working quite nicely so far.

Working great for me on 280x. will install on 7970 + laptop later.

Load times with shader caching do seem improved, would love to see a professional review on that.

per program clock speed controls is a fantastic feature, i can lower clocks + power limits + max fan speed for older DX9 titles, and i friggin love it.


My brother is having power issues in crossfire where flash/HTML5/youtube is causing the second card to power fully up, using about 100W more power than previous drivers. seems like the kinda thing to get fixed in future updates.

Had this error once when shutting down after opening CCC Slim part.

Sad to say no support for my 10bit display still .

If you happen to have watched the PCPer Live! AMD Radeon Crimson Live Stream and Giveaway!

They mention that part is in transition and will be incorporated into Radeon Settings UI.

So far so good. Its a lot more responsive the UI and the driver. I would of liked they kept more of the video settings from Catalyst though. The per game settings are GREAT!!!

whats the problem there? i've had 12 bit color options for a long time (10 bit display, but supports 12 as an input)

AMD is throwing another useless Driver

Nvidia has a fat bank account.

No idea they just never supported it, lack of TV support i guess.

that one doesnt work for you?

Get the CNext.exe error during most shutdowns/restarts. Anyone have a fix for this yet? Did a clean driver install twice and I still have the issue.

I noticed this when I restarted my computer last night, have not checked into a solution yet however.

Thats right it don't work, maybe it's how the TV is built as i know it don't use the typical panel to start with so.

It is odd though TOSHIBA is a very well known brand and i bet even today you will find a TOSHIBA chip in most if not in all TV's.

Only seen it once still, error logs are not useful as always lol.

 

[Casecutter]

Updated two gaming machines with Crimson last night and all went well. It's improved and the guys are into Fallout4 right now... seem to play better than previously.

 

[Octopuss]

Where do I change the language for the new control panel?

 

[Octopuss]

What the hell, installing this driver completely killed my sound. I can't play anything.

When your graphics card doesn't work for no reason (from AMD) and you've tried many useless drivers like Crimson, you will know my post its not USELESS!!!
