AMD Radeon Software Crimson 15.11.1 Hotfix




You can now download the new AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers hotfix release 15.11.1.
AMD released Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.11.1 Update. This update fixes last weeks release to build 15.11.1 and fixes an important issue with VGA fan speed control that overheated GPUs in certain ROPM conditions. In addition, the driver addresses several game-specific bugs related to Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Call of Duty Black Ops III.
The new driver itself is called "AMD Radeon Software" and has been build from ground up in QT. It's fast in startup, has had a massive GUI change and introduces some new features including stuff from shader caching to DX9 frame pacing enhancements. AMD is committed to release up-to 6 major WHQL driver released per year with interim Beta and Hotfix releases as well.

Yes, which is why I haven't bought one of their cards for 5 years

My point is you can kill any card this way, the pcb is a bunch of copper tracks - it's basically a heatsink. Just because the gpu has thermal protection doesn't mean other components are safe. To suggest otherwise goes against the laws of physics.
Just messing with ya!

If i could i would have gotten nvidia. But the fact is in Serbia nvidia is almost twice as expensive as AMD. Fot the price of GTX 970 you could buy 290X and then some.
Anyways, i also had a fan problem with this driver but fortunately it didn't kill my card.
That is what Afterburner is for

My Windows 10 x64 got BSOD while playing Fallout 4 after I updated
to this Hotfix.
After I tried to DDU it and install this Hotfix then I found out that
if I installed 15.11.1 hotfix directly then there won't be AMD Redeon Settings
in Context Menu (right click at desktop) and Video Profile will be blank.
The only way to make it install properly is to install 15.11 first then install
15.11.1 hotfix on top of 15.11.
Anyone else got the same issue with me?

Well, you don't " need " to. But if I'm not wrong, your card is now classified as Legacy by AMD. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows+7+-+64 But still seems like it can use the Crimson software.
Of course, if you did install the crimson software, then yeah. I'd wholly recommend getting the hotfix..

Ofcourse, AMD were very quick to acknowledge the problem.
