AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2.1

Eroticus · May 19, 2016

UPDATE: Yep Doom uses upgraded OpenGL 4.3 on both nvidia and AMD.

Nvidia thing is just kind of marketing, to look cool over amd like always....

Benchmark results... is Myth.

Oh dear. Even by typical nvidia victim's standards, this is epic...

More for you, dude:

In perspective, first, as of May 2015:
GTX 780Ti
Lead over 290X = +9.7% (Nov 7, 2013)
Lead now = +4.2%
Lead over 290X decreased over 50%.

GTX 780
Lead over 290X = -7% (Oct 23, 2013)
Lead now = -16.3%
290X lead increased over 100%.

GTX 760
Lead over 270X = +12% (Oct 7, 2013
Lead now = +4.6%
Lead over 270X decreased over 60%.

But then it didn't stop last year, and goes on in 2016 too:

Yeah, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Different drives aswell.

Super strange, I would bet bad card. That is the same error and issues the bad 290x I have gives.

Wrong cards, thats not my cards, 280x is what I ran.

AMD Drivers on Linux are worse
AMD Drivers in OpenGL are worse

There facts

If anyone thinks there on par to Nvidia has there head stuck up there ass or are a fanboy

Hold the damn phone. Have you ever used Nvidia linux drivers? There are more issues than I have ever dealt with with any other piece of HW in existence.

GoldenX · May 20, 2016

And yet the official AMD Linux drivers are worse.
If you're on Linux with AMD, see if the new official AMDGPU driver is compatible, or go with the open one.

Yes all the time, never had any issues with them.

I have yet to have an issue with linux and my AMD card? I don't have any issues with the current NV card in that machine either, but both are old and low end.

Melvis said:

Last three linux installs I have done the nvidia quadro cards were nothing, but issues and they were all known issues that NV never bothered to fix.

GoldenX · May 20, 2016

For normal use, Catalyst on Linux is fine, but for gaming it has bad OpenGL performance, and some of it's extensions are unstable, making modern games crash.

cdawall · May 20, 2016

Ah well that beats nvidia. The Quadra cards have screen glitching in 2d and crashes.

Oh. Mia culpa!

GoldenX said:

Have some mercy, if you do.
AMD's R&D joint CPU/GPU budget is lower than nVidia's and laughable (10 times or so smaller) than Intel's.

GoldenX · May 20, 2016

The open driver is excelent, it recently reached OpenGL 4.3, and is expected to reach 4.5 at the end of the year, it even has OpenCL support, the only thing missing is Vulcan.
The new AMDGPU driver is an hybrid, open with proprietary software, is expected to support all GCN cards in the coming months, for now it only supports GCN 1.2 ones, but offers excellent performance and a full feature set, is what Catalyst should have been years ago.

Can't say I feel sorry for you trying to game on Linux.

GoldenX · May 20, 2016

Team Fortress 2 works like a charm, as does Civ V, Left 4 Dead, Dota 2, League of Legends (under Wine), Osu! (Wine too) and the emulators.
You usualy don't get to play the latest games in release, but the games that are there are stable, no Battlefield 4 cr@p. And besides I use it to work, fix bad sectors, copy data from broken Windows installations (oh the irony), etc.

That chip on your shoulder must be giving you sciatica.

But on a serious note, these forums are getting worse and worse for blind, one sided idiocy from both morons that think AMD make crap drivers or ones that take great revelry when an older card starts to show some performance loss to the competition.

Such utter, infantile behaviour.

Let's makes TPU great again (to steal a Trumpism) and stop being so feverishly determined to attack one side or the other.

AMD driver releases have been great recently (by most accounts). Not without fault though. My own experience with Nvidia drivers was flawless until 364 branch. And that didn't affect everyone.

Drivers are always going to work for most and bring grief to some, red or green.

It's only the ignorant fanaticism that makes it seem like a huge problem.

Agiels · May 21, 2016

i cant be more agreed with you, only fanatics can be so blinded by colors ... maybe they have to set on that blind ppol profile...

eidairaman1 · May 23, 2016

I just rolled back to 16.4.2s due to a odd Boot Glitch that caused Windows 7 to display the Please Wait text then Welcome then boot, after I rolled back My Bootup is faster (System Restore), Must of been a glitch in the 16.5.2s, Oh Well, Might as well wait for WHQL drivers...

Agiels · May 23, 2016

they should make some WQHL drivers soon i hope
