Nice, so a driver for on-board GPU's (Finally, from what I've heard.) and then 18.5.1 for desktops later today then, maybe.
(Must be recent, checked yesterday a bit before I went to bed and it was still the usual redirect and page not found, now it's a denied message so it's coming out soon hopefully.)

Yo, THX for your insights

:p
It's about time...

Again if somebody have Freesync strobing problem (static loading screens)
use CRU for adjusting FS range, if done perfect then no more strobing (for me 30-75 or 29-75 and it's OK for every game, 27,28 do not work with Forza M7)
Also remember to reload settings in Adrenalin from time to time (e.g. you can save it by adjusting FPS range)

How did you increase your hbm from 500 to 560?

No, it's also for dedicated cards. Since if you want to use hybrid crossfire, you can't install two drivers (APU+dedicated) at once.

Can't you just flash it?

The downside being that unless it's 16.11.x or older it will *show* the modified values in any software that checks but it will *run* at the default 500Mhz though timings might be adjustable but not provide the same gains.
(Something in the driver refusing to allow higher regardless even of bios modding.)

Gotcha thx

Q: Why does AMD cards take such a large hit in BF1 when flip queue size is set to 1? I'm talking around 30-40%. Fury wasn't the only card. In BF1 you have to add the binary

Right click on desktop
Select AMD Readon Settings
System
HW AMD Radeon...Primary/Discrete
Copy 2D Driver File Path
Paste in NotePad
Open Registry (regedit) and navigate to that section of the registry
Add Binary: FlipQueueSize 31 00
Reboot

Go into BF1 folder and create a file called User.cfg then add
RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 1

Play BF1 with reduced frame rates.

I'm starting to believe that FQS was set to either 3-4. There use to be a way to check the to see what the FQS was set to in a game but that was sometime ago.
In hindsight I see how a "youtuber" was able to get such low results in BF4 comparison.
