RadeonPro BETA

I thought there was a thread already about this application but I cannot find it, strange . Anyway if you are into nhancer (or whatever they call it) you will like RadeonPro BETA. It's currently in developement but it's at a point IMO where it's at a stable functioning build. This program simply allows you to create custom profiles for the game use play, change vendor ID, use alternate rendering modes for CF and it works with MSI AfterBurner and ATT.

Perhaps it will work with GPUz?

Thanks will definitely give this a try. nHancer was one of the things I really liked about my GTX 280 for the 6 months I had it.

I just tried it with BC2 and it works great. Honestly, why aren't more people posting about this?

I'm trying it now. We'll see how well it works. I've been waiting for a tool to run game specific profiles and I dont care how it looks. Make it command line for all I care, just make it work.

What more needs to be said?

In any case just as Triptex MTL posted I really don't care how it looks. The GUI is functional and that's what matters to me.

I really missed nHancer so I tried this a couple weeks ago but it disabled my CF in every game and the only fix was to uninstall it and then reinstall my drivers. I look forward to its development though.

Sure you can create app specific profiles in CCC but you still lack the options like flip queue and Texture LOD. Being able to force driver specific crossfire profiles on any .exe is pretty cool especially for Steam users where renaming an .exe is impossible.

Also, this Radeon Pro does it's business without needing signed x64 authentication.

The only reason I don't use ATT anymore is because I don't want to bother with booting in unsigned mode and dealing with the various fixes and workarounds associated with it.

Since HL2 mods worked off their own HL2.exe and had no executables itself, there was NO WAY to make Crossfire work. Do you have any solution to this? No? You don't know what I'm talking about? Then what you say won't bother me.
I don't have to answer your questions.
1. I'm the thread starter not you
2. I'm only making people aware of the app. therefore there is no need to get angry with "the messenger"
3. Since you don't like the app stop trolling my thread with nonsensical, flamatory replies.
Lets make sure that all who read about this app understand (as mentioned in the OP) this is still a beta, it's new and IMO in time will iron itself out. ATI users never had such an app. before and so far "it's at a point IMO where it's at a stable functioning build." Something I mentioned in the OP.

Hello Helper, from your posts I can see you don't like my crap benches and my nHancer-like interface for RadeonPro and I have no problems with that, but just so you know I'm a nHancer user and like it very much, my NVIDIA cards and my SLI setups are not the same without nHancer. So why RadeonPro looks so much like nHancer? I like nHancer interface, why can't I make it looks and feels like Grestorn's app?

Almost forgot: about AVP DX11 bench, I was not aware of it being DX11 only and I'm sorry for that.

They do, it's called ATi Tray Tools. ATT is real deal and this looks like a bad attempt at copying nHancer. What you use is up to you. I'm just stating the facts.
If you are experiencing any issues with the application you can (should) report them to the author. Creating posts detesting the application's GUI and showing disdain for how it looks like another app., etc only servers to troll the thread for people who may use and post about the app. This is why the pic is fitting. And getting upset with me about it derails the thread. Which is why I say you are, IMO, trolling this thread.

@ Mr.John. -

While you're here I would like to make a few recommendations for your application.
  • - show FPS feature- add option to refresh constantly like FRAPS.
  • - Overclocking profiles section - Add option to call upon user defined fan profiles from MSI afterburner
  • -Limit fps option - works wonders to remove input lag with v-sync. not sure if this is even possible but FPS limiter and SSAA tool are able to do this.


Thanks, I'll update this if I think of anything else.

No problem, AVP wasn't a good game anyway.
You're right, it's unfinished. I assume you know it's in development yet, I've started it less than 1 month ago but with the help of community and their awesome feedback I hope soon ATI users (myself included) can find in RadeoPro at least part of what nHancer can do for NVIDIA.

@TRIPTEX_MTL, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks!

It's beta software. Of course it's going to look unfinished. If he wants to model it after nHancer, he can do that since he's the app's author.

I'm only gonna take a guess at it looking like nHancer when he's done with it. It's a free app, you certainly don't have to use it and you don't have to crap in the thread if you don't like it. I'm sure he's not developing it for you.

Making a copy of nHancer rather then creating your own application. Way to go John.
Seriously, you've made your point: you don't like the program. Why go on about it?

John is trying to make a program to help himself and other people. So it looks like another program? Big deal. He likes the way nHancer works and looks, so be it.

I couldn't do what he's trying to do, so I at least appreciate his efforts and will try the program. Can you make a better program by yourself? You're more than free to do so and display it here for commentary.

And even if he's making a program similiar to nHancer, so what? If it fulfills the role it's meant for then good.
