Installed, rebooted, run 3dmark, in my case difference is like between two runs on the same driver. 18.11.2:

vs 18.11.1 nov15 a.k.a. rx590 press release driver:

OK, I updated and tried BFV and really didn't notice any difference in performance. Is there something in particular that the AMD Team did to note BFV as part of the release notes? I even added a profile for it as well.


have you had a chance to check these out yet?

I just saw them being released, looks like I missed them but I'll be installing these shortly.

EDIT: And there's no difference between the profile file from this and from 18.11.1 aside from the newer driver date.

Some systems running multiple displays may experience mouse lag when at least one display is enabled but powered off.

I am glad to see this is being fixed, I could have sworn it was already fixed in a older one but I have been noticing this issue.

Its a Known Issues, NOT fixed issues, so the bug is still there since like (3-4 releases) its very annoying + it makes screen flickering at the same time (Like 3D effect on Videos)

So, no need to install?
BF V is working like a charm

Please give us comparison...

Driver is fine. I always install newest ones with Ddu even if it's a day difference and new radeon settings application only. Latest is the greatest.

From the release notes you get some additional Battlefield V support but there's no framerate comparison so it's probably minor or they fixed something else or it's just part of the release notes for 18.11.x in general.
There's a new Vulkan extension supported too but the VLK runtime itself is still 1.1.82.0 and then for Vega GPU owners the elevated memory clock speed issue should be resolved so that's a good one for those affected by that and for anyone using Radeon Software / Catalyst Next to check for updates it seems they've improved that too.

Rest would be hidden or undocumented tweaks and changes, nothing really stands out from comparing INF and XML files at least and the profile file as mentioned only shows a different file date since the driver is newer but the rest is identical.
(So no updates to Crossfire or DXX flags or new OpenGL properties or other data from here.)

EDIT: It's interesting that they're bundling 1.1.82.0 and not the 1.1.82.1 runtime for Vulkan come to think of it but then again the additional fixes might be more for SDK usage and it's backwards compatible so for Windows using the 1.1.85.0 runtime should be just fine and on Linux the driver support and situation differs a bit where I think it's up to 1.1.88.0 or somewhere last I checked.


Not that important though, haven't had any issues with the display driver for a good amount of time now but I do avoid certain areas AMD has had problems with such as sleep/hibernation being a feature I don't use for the OS and I guess fast-start might still be a problem with retaining Wattman settings where it assumes a crash happened and reverts to default.

For Firefox I usually keep hardware acceleration on but a couple of additional releases down the line maybe the new Webrender functionality will be enabled for AMD GPU's too and that's going to be interesting to check.


EDIT: Though it looks like NVIDIA also recently hit a issue with sleep mode so perhaps there's something in Windows 10 and how that works that isn't quite right?

OK, Installed
Working fine with FH3 & FM7 DX12
Will play BF V later today.... but on 18.11.1 was an solid Performer (no Welcome Desktop Feature )

UPD.
BFV working like a charm 70FPS_________Solid at 1440p.
BFV (no input Lag Tweak) -> GstRender.FutureFrameRendering 0

SotTR DX12 Ultra/High (no Exclusive Full Screen) also Solid 70FPS.
Quake Champions Solid as always.

I am having slowdown issues with these drivers when using afterburner with my rx580 on the shadow of the tombraider benchmark,if i adjust the power limit too plus 50 my run went from 70fps on standard without using afterburner too below 30fps,Anybody else having simular issues .

Play the actual game and report back.

#5609159 Posted on: 11/20/2018 09:04 PM

Ok, I have retired BFV DX12 and the FPS is a lot higher then with the previous driver. With the previous driver FPS was about the same as DX11 with slight increases here and there.

However, there is this lag/latency I notice and some very slight stuttering while animating to go into scope. It was enough to go back to DX11 for now with this driver release.

dx11 in fb v is rubish, this is known from lunch date.

Elevated memory clocks during system idle remains for me (1 year bug)
This issue occurs after playing any game, especially Arma3.

#5609266 Posted on: 11/21/2018 01:31 AM

If you are using Wattman and have a profile from the sounds of things the clock speeds are saved into the profile so you'd have to reset to default and remake it without loading the old one, guess a comparison of the two profiles would show if the memory clock speed values between them differed or not.

Vega 64 also idles at 167 Mhz or thereabouts, Vega 56 seems to idle at 700 mhz before going to full speed at 800 mhz by default and then Vega 64 also has a intermediate 500 mhz clock state as well.
But this could also be a difference between specific models such as how my own Pulse GPU uses a "Nano" style PCB with slight changes to components, haven't compared what the stock Vega 56 uses.
(Memory shouldn't differ though short of the newer GPU's almost all being on Hynix now with Samsung primarily found on Vega 64's these days.)

Hi people, im back to amd xD first HD 6570 to GTX 650 and now R7 250X im experiencing less fps using dx12 in Shadow of The Tomb Raider and Hitman 2016. I5 3450, 8gb ram ddr3 in Windows 1607. New windows versions have better performance with dx12 because of newer wddm models? Maybe thats reason but idk, need some help here xD

#5609657 Posted on: 11/22/2018 06:27 AM

You expect from your gpu way too much. It is weaker than r7 260x which was slightly improved radeon hd7790 (slightly higher clocks, added hardware support for amd true audio) so i would assume 250x is a modified hd7770, i had both (hd7770 and hd7790), at their time they were decent, cheap cards but in 2018 i wouldn't dare to run on them any new game and especially as demanding as shadow of tomb raider, even on lowest settings. Currently we have black friday going on and for example at newegg i see amazing prices for gpus (even more amazing when compared to local prices where i live which in some cases we pay double...). I would suggest you to upgrade to at least new rx570 or used rx580.

#5609670 Posted on: 11/22/2018 08:04 AM

---

Sure, i will upgrade when i can do it xD But im just curious, dx11 run way better in both games, i have a 1366x768 monitor, so im playing Shadow at 30 fps good enought for my hardware in dx11, im not complaining. Just want to know. Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-Display-Driver-Model says the changes for every wddm model for every windows version.

I know this, that's why I said I'm glad it's going to BE fixed NOT it's fixed. This issue was resolved a few months back but I guess it's back again as this is so annoying it's not even funny.
