Vulcan Tweak is needed for this too 😉 Good driver overall. Settings saved in OverdriveN Tool now saved until changed ! 😀 (Not reverting after restart)

Hmm, this means that WattMan settings should stay after reboot, right? I have to test it.

I can say about Linux support... How Mesa is the only option for not so old cards (while nvidia still offers proprietary drivers for considerable older gpu) and surprise Mesa doesn't work properly with some games and bug reports are closed because Mesa devs don't show real care about games, they care mostly about their stuff passing academics tests, main problem here is that well games don't really follow those academics stuff... Sure progress has been done with Mesa, but there are problems that won't be fixed in the next years due to some Mesa devs mentality!

To Mesa's defense, it seems like the HD 5000 and HD 6000 series (excluding the HD 6900 series) have competetive performance with the Catalyst drivers now (though it took long for that to happen). It's mostly the HD 2000-4000 and HD 6900 GPUs that got the bad deal.

Even for Vega GPU's then? Interesting, hmm wonder if AMD will be updating these then to fix that? (September 7th file name for the installer currently, September 5th from the driver INF itself.) There's a registry setting for enhanced sync too I believe but maybe it's not that simple to fix, plus it's still a bit cumbersome compared to having the toggle in the Crimson / CNext software itself. 🙂

Can somebody using this driver on HD 7950/7970 comment if they have Overdrive or Wattman?

What chip set drivers are those ? And thank you for the help 🙂

Good day to all, it seems that in many forums report that the option of improved synchronization does not appear, this line will be the cause (TurboSyncControl), exploring these drivers note this line in [ati2mtag_VEGA_SoftwareDeviceSettings], it has this value, , KMD_TurboSyncControl,% REG_DWORD%, 0), using notes in windows make a .reg file to see what happened, and in effect with those values erase that option, but when giving value 1 returns to appear, it is necessary to clarify that I do not know if all of them result, each one has different video cards but only for information I use a rx nitro 580 8gb, always after rebooting the system, I hope not to break badly by showing this link, this is just to help, greetings. https://openload.co/f/yza8R5hTUlQ/TurboSyncControl.rar

Huh? What issues exactly do you have with MESA drivers? I have R9 290 and it's working pretty fine on Ubuntu Mate + kernel 4.13 + AMDGPU module + MESA 17.3 + sisched

Champions of Regnum + Mesa is a no go. Sure the game starts but there are 101 things not rendered. Most of the problems are gone if I use fglrx on 14.04. The ones that made the linux 3d engine for CoR are either dead or no longer working so there is basicaly there is no one capable to fix something in that engine code. The bug report ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93114 ) regarding the problems with CoR and Mesa is closed ( they didn't even wanted to see the trace that they requested... taking into consideration that it's a free to play game they could had took a better look not stay in the debug skills of the one that made the bug report ). So it will never be fixed. Not that many MMO with Linux client... You need profiles for games simple as that. You might even have to fake report mesa as fglrx to get some games working properly...

Last time I checked CoR + Mesa on my HD 5670 the situation was far worst compared to hd 7750 + Mesa. In case of the HD 5670 most armor pieces were not rendered at all. The problems apply to Intel igpu also so it's not only AMD/ATI in this game.

On my RX 580 Enhanced Sync is present just after regularly installing 17.9s. Performance in RoTR jumped from 49fps to 54 @1440p max. so cool, but GTA4&EFLC is a 20fps stuttery mess. In Chrome 60 and latest 61, and in Opera there are html errors from time to time, especially around video thumbnails, this is not visible in latest Waterfox. HDMI audio driver is not update since beginning of time so no audio on secondary display and TV, have to use dummy MS driver instead. So not THAT great;)

FLMAO! Yea lets bash AMD here while using 7 year old tech. Yawn. As someone who has had 2x 7850s, 2x 7950s, 4x R9 290s, Fury X and now regulaur fury the problems have been pretty few. Less then I did have with 2X GTX 670s and 2x GTX 970s. Maybe I never got the UVD bug with my 7850s and 7950s because I ran 3 monitors. I also ran custom bios on my 7950s without the boost. Everyone will have something that doesnt always work when it works for someone else. But the crying and bashing over the UVD bug is beyond laughable at this point. Really is time to get a new card or go team green. They are not problem free either. I dare you to try 21:9 resolutions on DVI-D and see what happens with an Nvidia gpu. And Nvidias HDMI scaling is a complete effin joke. Or how god awful slow their control panel is even on a nice SSD. Currently have R9 Fury in main rig, no issues that have happened to me with it in a while, GTX 660 in my server, used for game streaming.Not really any bugs, but at least Geforce Experience looks nice now and loads faster. NCP is a slow ass joke though. 8600GTS in my HTPC. Even with an 80GB raptor its slow as hell to load NCP on Win 7. That is used for older games and media. Then I have a spare rig with GTX 650ti 2GB boost in SLi. That rig is pretty problem free but its a PIECE OF SHITE with HDMI scaling when we using it with HDMI on the TV. Doesnt matter which GPU of the 2 is used. Now this is where it gets funny. Using my HD 5770, HD 6950, guess what, its almost too easy to scale the image to the TV and it still will be 1920x1080. not 1826x1016.

Running custom bios is not a fix. It is not even a workaround. I do not need more power for GPU, so I do not see any reason why I should buy new GPU and I will not buy same GPU just made in 14mm for 120 euros today. I also do not have issue with UVD bug since 16.7.2 have everything I need. I hope they wont fix it, and I hope they wont fix any future basic functionality bugs for newer cards either. Why? Because some people defend such practices and if let them to do it once, they will do it again. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that fixing bugs they made should stay bugged. Obviously, I could not care less about UVD bug because I know what will I do when I need new GPU or newer driver
