AMD Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition Driver Overview





AMD is getting ready for the winter, in this article we look at what AMD labeled the Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition. This is the new 16.12 driver which has had some TLC from AMD. The release is not offering overall performance for games, but AMD has been working on new features. Time for a quick article, to cover all topics.

It's nice to see AMD beat Intel finally but I need to see them beat Intel in game perf then we are talking, stuff like handbrake and blender that's multithreaded is going to be faster the more cores you throw at it but we're not at that point with games yet although it is getting better,
but yeah if they can beat intel in the game performance then I'll definitely consider making the switch next year, I love AMD chips, I've had Bulldozer, Piledriver, Phenom, Athlon, K6-2, really I am rooting for AMD to pull this off.

Used to be AMD user both cpus and gpus way way back but have since switched to Intel and Nvidia and never looked back. You know by the time AMD releases these cpus to the public, Intel will have something newer and better to counter this. As the cycles continues on...
The way I see it, you will never win the war when you're fighting on two fronts simultaneously against two enemies.

Seemed straight up and simple to me
Don't feel mislead at all, the %'s are very clear, made to feel smaller with the explanation.
So those graphs are fine to you. It's perfectly normal to see a >100% improvement at fist glance, then to read and realize that it's not true. Isn't that right?
You know, mentalities like yours make me understand why companies keep doing stuff like this - no offense.
Companies have always been shamed for presenting inaccurate graphs just to catch the eye, cheap marketing tricks fool more people than you think.

U did not watch live show didn't U ? There was a Battlefield 1 running on both platforms and 1 guy told the audience that ryzen was a bit faster with GTX 1080, all of the benchmarks were done with unfinished ryzen without boosted clock speeds so it just might get a bit faster even but I don't think it is going to be a big boost because I think ryzen was running at 3.4Ghz only which means it will loose some milliseconds for boosting clocks but also lowering it down below 3.4Ghz mark.
But the tech they used for sensing many parts of the cpu and IQ for managing it properly is something I admire, finally

Amd zen
The only way I see AMD failing is if
1.)Milk the price.
2.)Don't sell it in quanity or only to businesses like HP, Dell first.
3.)Intel drastically lowers their price.
I have an overclocked Phenom 4.1GHZ on air and would like an AMD ZEN asap. The 7790 2GB seems to be hitting its age on Hitman and GTA at max settings or maybe it's the 8GB ddr2 on my old Gigabyte that's finally bottlenecking my PC at super high settings.
I hope AMD does well question is how will Intel attack. AMD was clever to fool us and Intel by claiming awhile back it won't focus on high end cpu's but that was AMD's trick to lie and fool Intel and Intel was caught off guard and made the TOO COMFORTABLE.
