It actually is, the dude just realized it now...

Ironically the dude also doesn't realize that his 3 year old Nvidia GTX 670 is now considered legacy - http://www.nvidia.com/page/legacy.html

oh wow ... the 700 serie too ...

ouch ...

(well it's not like they have a better driver since the 347.88 tho, even for the 900 serie )

a simple regedit allows it to work on the 7970, it works fine upto 2560x1440 it just doesnt show in the CCC.

That's why it doesn't show by default on... as it lacks the command flag!

Amazing draw call boost in Dx11 with this driver. FuryX sees around 10% fps gain in 1440p. It would be no surprise if next week Fury air rocks in benches.

LightningJR · Jul 9, 2015

I wonder if this will work for my laptop apu. I realized not long ago that my apu, A8-4500, has a non gcn gpu....... No mantle and it seems no DX12...

Please don't start this again.....

VSR is also missing on my 7850. Wondering what I need to change in the registry for it...

Seriously? I need to put you on my ignore list. You're like a little gnat. Do you even own a Fury X?

On more pressing news, any sign of vcore unlocking on Fiji? I'm still on the fence and know that a higher clocked Fiji will beat the custom 980ti's.
New card for me in August/September so still time for core improvements.

mirakul · Jul 9, 2015

^ API drawcall test is available in 3Dmark. If you can't find a FuryX, grasp a GCN card and test this driver yourself. Do it before calling people names.

rainwilds · Jul 9, 2015

I have the virtual super resolution working with my crossfired 7970s. Worked first time. I am running my U2410 at 2560x1600 and I have to say it's amazing! Really quite sharp too!

I'm pretty sure the54thvoid could care less about drawcalls. I'm also pretty certain that his interest lies (like mine) in being able to tweak the hardware as thoroughly as possible for gaming and benchmarking.

BTW: Why are DX11 draw calls suddenly so important to you? You certainly didn't show any interest when the 290X was shaded by 100% by the Titan X in DX11.
As an aside, doesn't the 290X have a higher number of draw calls in DX12 than GM 200 ? How does that translate to anything in real world gaming?

Octopuss · Jul 9, 2015

Hm, am I to expect slight fps boost in demanding games like GTA5 perhaps? I don't know what draw calls are, but Dx optimizations sound important.

rainwilds · Jul 9, 2015

I should add. Just played Dragon Age: Inquisition and with dual 7970s I was getting a nice 50fps at 2560x1600. And it renders really nice like the native res.

i used a registry hack to enable that for me on previous drivers, 2560x1440 looked nice on my HDTV.

Could you possibly make a guide on how to do that please?

Mussels · Jul 9, 2015

jigar2speed said:
A quick help with the instructions please

zip file attached with an automated program that worked for me in win 8. enable for tahiti (for 79x0) reboot and you're good to go.

edit: not working for me in win 10 on these drivers. i'll see if theres an updated version.

ZoneDymo · Jul 9, 2015

man these VSR resolutions are random

INSTG8R · Jul 9, 2015

Just installed them and I have VSR and FRTC are available for my 7970. No fancy tricks just uninstalled the 15.15's and put in the 15.7s

EDIT: That was on Win7 Pro 64

Mussels · Jul 9, 2015

I'm going to assume i'm missing them due to windows 10, not to broken hearted about it.

Yeah other than setting the FRTC to 65 I can't see me using VSR anyway.

that setting works for me, but i already used afterburner to set that. i love the concept, its going to help a lot of people.

Aaand they just cut my previous/last AMD card (HD4850) out of the package .... great. I mean f*** AMD.

Sorry but its very old now (Plus wasn't 4XXX dropped like a year ago or something?), I mean they cannot keep optimizing something that old forever. You can grab something superior to it for probably $100 bucks right now.

No he's not, simply they allow those cards to download the driver but there are no gains for those series below Maxwell. Multiple threads have been created regarding the fact Kepler in recent games have been falling off for some reason. Your basically downloading the same driver again for your card with the only thing being added to your library are SLI profiles. A year or two ago they were still claiming support for the 9800 GTX...

Hopefully it is just a glitch that will be resolved. Otherwise I would find that disheartening to them purposely avoiding the HD 7970 yet allowing the R9 280X to do it. Ill ask my friend whose on twin HD 7950's and Windows 8.1 to try to see what happens!

I still cannot get over finally having CFX with Freesync, got to try it out for a couple of hours on a 1440p 144hz monitor (The Acer one) and it worked very well keeping a very smooth gameplay experience. Makes me want to actually get a Freesync monitor now.

SonicZap · Jul 9, 2015

The VSR fix doesn't work for me either. Running Windows 8.1 x64. I already tried a re-install, didn't help. I submitted a bug report to AMD via their Issue Reporting Form. I'd like to have it for some old games, some productivity applications could benefit as well.

lets you pick a higher resolution in game, that scales down to your native res. makes some games look better.
