Radeon Software Crimson 16.7.2

The Mac · Jul 10, 2016

Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.7.2 Highlights

The "compatibility mode" UI toggle was designed to reduce total power with minimal performance impact on AMD Radeon™ RX480 reference boards and has been made available to users in the Global Settings menu of Radeon Settings (first introduced in the previous Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.7.1 driver). This toggle is in "off" by default.

Fixed Issues

In the previous Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.7.1 driver the "Restore Factory Defaults" option under Preferences of Radeon Settings Software would not set the "Compatibility Mode" UI toggle to its default "OFF" value. This is fixed in the Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.7.2 driver. The "Restore Factory Defaults" options resets all Radeon Settings to their factory default values.

Known Issues

A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay".
Radeon™ Pro Duo may experience a black screen in Total War™: Warhammer with the games API set to DirectX®12 and V-Sync enabled.
DiRT™ Rally may experience flickering terrain in some races when the advanced blending option is enabled in the games settings page.
Some Overdrive settings may not appear in Radeon Settings for Radeon™ Fury X when in AMD Crossfire mode.
Dota™2 may crash when using the Vulkan™ API and the user changes resolutions or quality settings.
Battlefield™ 4 may experience crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.
Need for Speed™ may experience flickering on some light sources in AMD Crossfire mode.
Frame Rate Target Control gaming profiles may fail to enable for some games.
Radeon Wattman may retain settings of an overclock after it has failed. If you have failed an overclock with a system hang or reboot make sure to use the "Reset" option in the Radeon WattMan settings page when the system has rebooted.
Low frame rate or stutter may be experienced Wolfenstein®: The Old Blood™ on Radeon™ RX 480.
Assassin's Creed® Syndicate may experience a game crash or hang when in game settings are set to high or greater.
Disabling AMD Crossfire mode on Radeon™ RX 480 may disable the device in Windows® Device Manager. A workaround is to reboot the system to re-enable the device.

Strange. I had OC stability issue with 16.7.1. However it is fixed now for me in 16.7.2. Guess my bug report sent to AMD worked!

That could might be that ur gfx pulled more than the 75watts from the PCI-E slot as it was suppose to do, that was the issues some ppl had with the new RX480 so u could actually fry the pci-e port in worse case scenarios.

Complete nonsense.

Thats been debunked.

There has not been a single confirmed case of a mobo blowout from the 480.

AMD has even said it's not an issue.

They issued a fix just to shut people up.

I cant stand the Gaming Evolved app, its such a POS with no support if you have issues. And the fake contests. A friend won some aftermarket power supply that took 3-4 months to get plus payed for shipping then it blew up after 2 weeks only to find out there is no warranty, it wasnt a new unit!

It's one big scam app.

the game drawings are ok.

There used to be a lot more stuff available but its seems to have all dried up.

What the funk 16.7.2 how so ,you got linkz.
Sorry I found my eyes.

The Mac · Jul 10, 2016

fixed.

Over the weekend I noticed some bad problem of 16.7.2. My FuryX has been flicking and BSOD during VR. Reverting back to 16.6.1 automatically fixed all this.

This is some serious issue AMD need to look into. They can't just abandon proper support for older cards altogether when a new mid tier card comes out.

fury should be supported no problem, make a bug report.

did you try using DDU?

DDU every single time.

So far I can confirm both 16.7.1 and 16.7.2 are the only two drivers causing problems. I am not surprised. Considering that FuryX and 480 use the same type of programmable power management system things can get messed up quite easily.

all GCN does - I2C.

I will be staying on 16.6.1 until AMD get a not-480-specific driver out. I need my VR working everyday. Can't live on without Coconut singing to me...

Nope. 16.6.2 was 480 launch driver. Still not good.
