Cry some more.

On topic though, Why is VSR so limited?
I can have many 21:9 DSR resolutions on my GTX 670 on my 2560x1080 monitor. But when I had my R9 290 I was stuck with 16:9 resolutions.
That is just sad and disappointing though.

lol.. I don't understand either.. I was able to down sample 3840x2160 on my 290x and a 7970 using registry edits so it is possible without using VSR/GCN but I have since bought a real 4k monitor.. I now I'm down sampling 6k with my 3 290x. Not to mention VSR is completely disabled when you are using a 4k monitor. I wish they would add a feature like DSR and downsample 4 times your resolution. I don't understand why that is so hard because it is possible. The only reason I won't move over to Nvidia is because Nvidia's image quality even using Nvidia Inspector and DSR is no where near as good as AMD.

I wish they would just make the this small fraction of people happy.. I did love having to figure it out on my own though.

Crossfire - Assetto Corsa

Still no Assetto Corsa Crossfire Profile....sigh. Project cars(game) gets all the attention while AC (simulator) does not. Typical.

After installing this driver my monitor got its colors f*** up. It´s way darker and over saturated. My monitor settings remain the same. Now i have to play with amd settings or change driver. Did this happen to anybody else? This never happened to me before. :/

Max frame rate limited to 95 fps

I'm using 144Hz 2k Benq screen. I wanted to set the dynamic frame rate control to 144 fps, but the adjustment doesn't go higher than 95 fps. The monitor is set to 144Hz and Free Sync enabled. Is this a bug?

This is about getting crazy... HUGE frame drop!!

SO i have a pretty nice system running a 295x2 and on AC Unity my framerate dropped in HALF with the new 15.7 drivers, Come on AMD been team RED for a while but things like this are starting to throw yellow on me quick!

Did anyone else loose the option of 144hz refresh? I am capped at 120hz when with the last version I was running at 144hz (Asus Rog Swift monitor so it does 144hz)

1. Are you all running Windows 10 Preview?
2. This is the first driver with VSR etc... patience grasshoppers, new drivers will arrive after W10K is released in ~2 days
3. If certain games doesn't work properly and there's no profile, blame (and contact) the developers who didn't spend time on making the game multi-GPU friendly to start with. Crossfire Profiles are basically patches/hacks to fix issues with games that haven't been developed with multi-GPU configurations in mind (ie. most games).

The point of that is to limit the number of frames rendered to a certain maximum to reduce power usage. Setting the limit any more than 95 fps is probably considered defeating the purpose.

Awesomely Hilbert keeps most drivers available in the download section.

Here's the Guru3d download link for the 15.7 driver

That link no longer works. It takes you to the AMD driver selection where all you are offered is 15.7.1.

Why does the 15.7 download link keep linking to a file not found txt, then trying to force the Crimson Driver by redirecting me to AMDs Crimson Driver page. Lulz!

Seems the 15.7 drivers are pretty nonexistent, even AMDs site has no link for the 15.7 on the 15.7 info page.

15.7.1
