    AMD Release Crimson Edition 16.3 Drivers With Hitman DX12 Support – Fury X Gets 60% and R9 380X Gets 44% Performance Increase in Gears of War

    Update #1: We have tested the latest drivers with AMD’s Radeon R9 Fury graphics card to verify AMD’s claims of up to 60% increase in performance in Gears of Wars. Our results can be found in the article below.
    AMD has launched their latest Crimson Edition 16.3 drivers which adds support for upcoming titles and also fixes the broken performance for Fiji and Tonga based cards in Gears of War. The Crimson Edition 16.3 driver incorporates several bug fixes while gets the red team ready for the upcoming launch of Hitman which is the latest launch title to feature DirectX 12 support and features Asynchronous compute.

    The AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3 Driver can be downloaded from the following links:


    AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3 Drivers Add Support For Hitman DX12, Massive Boost For Radeon R9 Fury X and Radeon R9 380X in Gears of War

    The new drivers will not only support Hitman which is the latest DirectX 12 infused title, but also deliver boost in performance for the Radeon R9 Fury X and Radeon R9 380X graphics card. The drivers also fix AMD’s Rise of Tomb Raider performance, specifically for the Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card which compared to the Crimson 16.2 driver release will now perform up to 16% better. In the footnotes, AMD mentions that this was achieved with resolution on 1080P and a Haswell-E based rig.
    Since launch, NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics cards have shown superior performance in the title with the Radeon R9 Fury X performing close to a GeForce GTX 980 in the same game which is a $479 US graphics card. With the additional boost, AMD expects to reach performance near the GeForce GTX 980 Ti levels which is its actual rival since both cards retail at $649 US in the retail market. It remains to be seen whether the performance increase will be passed on to the other Radeon graphics cards or remain exclusively for the Radeon R9 Fury X.
    Radeons Ready For DirectX 12 and Async Compute Action in Hitman



    Next up, we have the official support for Hitman, one of the top releases in March 2016. Hitman brings back Agent 47 back to his stealthy adventures but this time, developer IO Interactive has chosen to go ahead with episodic releases rather than a full release. The game will have two parts, one will serve as a Prequel to the previous Hitman titles while the other will place after the events of Hitman Absolution hence being a sequel. The game release tomorrow and one of the main highlights for the game is that not only was it bundled with AMD Radeon R9 390 and Radeon R9 390X graphics card but will be the first title to feature the most intense and best implementation of Asynchronous compute which allows graphics and compute workloads handling simultaneously.
    AMD has previously shown that they have a big enough lead with Async compute in the Alpha and Beta release of Ashes of the Singularity but Hitman featuring the tech’s best implementation will show off AMD’s true lead in this department.
    Few weeks ago, we had spotted a GDC 2016 session about HITMAN’s usage of DirectX 12, but at that time nothing had been officially confirmed. Here’s what AMD had to say, specifically:
    AMD is once again partnering with IO Interactive to bring an incredible Hitman gaming experience to the PC. As the newest member to the AMD Gaming Evolved program, Hitman will feature top-flight effects and performance optimizations for PC gamers.
    Hitman will leverage unique DX12 hardware found in only AMD Radeon GPUs—called asynchronous compute engines—to handle heavier workloads and better image quality without compromising performance. PC gamers may have heard of asynchronous compute already, and Hitman demonstrates the best implementation of this exciting technology yet. By unlocking performance in GPUs and processors that couldn’t be touched in DirectX 11, gamers can get new performance out of the hardware they already own.
    AMD is also looking to provide an exceptional experience to PC gamers with high-end PCs, collaborating with IO Interactive to implement AMD Eyefinity and ultrawide support, plus super-sample anti-aliasing for the best possible AA quality.
    This partnership is a journey three years in the making, which started with Hitman: Absolution in 2012, a top seller in Europe and widely critically acclaimed. PC technical reviewers lauded all the knobs and dials that pushed GPUs of the time to their limit. That was no accident. With on-staff game developers, source code and effects, the AMD Gaming Evolved program helps developers to bring the best out of a GPU. And now in 2016, Hitman gets the same PC-focused treatment with AMD and IO Interactive to ensure that the series’ newest title represents another great showcase for PC gaming!
    Up To 60% Boost in Performance in Gears of War For Radeons


    Last up, we have probably one of the biggest performance increase for Radeon cards in Gears of Wars. When the title launched, many blamed NVIDIA’s Gameworks technology to be the reason behind AMD’s poor show case of performance in the Gears of War. AMD releasing and boosting performance by up to 60% washes away those claims and just shows that AMD needed time to get their drivers working properly for their Radeon cards.
    The AMD Radeon R9 Fury series and Radeon R9 380 were the two cards which we specifically tested and found out that they performed very poor compared to R7 370 and R9 390 series cards which are based on GCN 1.0 and 2.0 graphics core. Since 380 and Fury series are based on GCN 3.0 and they now get to see a 44% and 60% (respective) increase in performance, AMD seems to have finally fixed their side of performance issues.
    AMD achieved these performance numbers using a 4K resolution monitor and a beastly Haswell-E system. The performance increases will vary system from system and could not be as significant when tested on 1080P or 1440P resolution with settings cranked up to the max. There are also some bug fixes and common issues which the team at AMD will be resolving very soon with a hotfix driver.
    Radeon R9 Fury Performance Update With Crimson 16.3 Drivers:

    Our hardware fellow Keith is currently running benchmarks with the latest Crimson 16.3 drivers to verify AMD’s claims about 60% performance increase in Gears of War. From the looks of it, the drivers do bring some major performance improvement to Radeon but even the card is still not able to match the GeForce GTX 980 which maintains an average 30 FPS in the game at 4K while the Fury deliver an average of 15 FPS at the same display resolution which ranges (Max: 18 FPS and Min: 14 FPS).
    Graphics Card AMD Radeon R9 Fury (Crimson 16.2.1) AMD Radeon R9 Fury

    AMD’s XConnect Technology Now Adds Initial Support For External GPU Enclosures:

    AMD’s aim to standardize external GPUs for notebooks doesn’t seem that long off. We heard about it last week and it seems like AMD has given it a name. Known as XConnect, the technology is similar to current generation of external GPU enclosures which are closed and proprietary in nature but AMD believes that with a little effort they could change that.
    This driver provides initial support for external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon R9 300 Series GPUs are now supported over Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connections. AMD XConnect technology additionally provides plug’n’play support and an integrated management interface. Base system must have BIOS support for external GPUs (e.g. Razer Blade Stealth). Additional new features in the 16.3 release include:
    Per-Game Display Scaling: A new feature introduced in Radeon™ Settings that allows per game Display Scaling to be set within the Radeon™ Settings Gaming tab under “Profile Options”.
    Language Menu: A new feature introduced in Radeon Settings that allows the end user to select their preferred language from a drop down menu under the “Preferences -> Language” tab.
    Two Display Eyefinity: Two Display Eyefinity is now an available option under the Eyefinity tab in Radeon Settings.
    Advertisements

    AMD Crossfire Status Indicator: A new feature in Radeon Settings that allows users to toggle an AMD Crossfire status indicator on their screen when running in AMD Crossfire mode.
    Updated Social Links: New Social links are now available for Radeon™ Settings home page and have also updated based on geographical region.​
    Power Efficiency Toggle: A new feature introduced in the Radeon Settings Gaming tab for select AMD Radeon 300 series and AMD Radeon Fury X available under “Global Options”. This allows the user to disable some power efficiency optimizations.

    NVIDIA Releases the GeForce 364.51 WHQL Drivers

    NVIDIA over the weekend, released the GeForce 364.51 WHQL drivers. These drivers address a critical bug in the company's previous WHQL-signed GeForce 364.47 WHQL driver, which causes the installer to crash the system with a BSOD/TDR error during "express" install. The bug was so severe, that it forced NVIDIA to pull the driver off its website. The rest of this driver's feature-set appears to be consistent with that of the 364.47 WHQL.

    AMD updates Gaming Evolved with better video recording functionality

    Gaming Evolved, or Raptr, hasn't exactly had the shining reception that AMD might have wanted when it was included with their driver set. But it's getting better with each iteration, and more useful too. The newest update vastly improves the video capture and recording features of the integrated Play.tv, beyond a lot of other free or premium platforms.



    Recording, if you set it to, can begin automatically once you start a game up now. It can detect and begin without you having to remember to turn it on, capturing the entire play session and even going so far as to deleting older videos as time goes on to save storage space. They've added the ability to use a hotkey to "bookmark" a particular moment in the game, which will make a 30-second video clip when you press that hotkey. Play.tv will also record your mouse clicks, webcam, mic nearly everything so you can analyze your competitive play. And now they have a real video editor that allows you to actually edit those clips and make them viewable right from the app. It used to be quite the pain to get things ready for sharing.

    Something quite revolutionary is the new integration with League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. When you play these games, the AMD Gaming Evolved client uses live match data to automatically create highlights that are completely pre-edited, ready to watch or share instantly. They plan on adding in more games that are compatible with it soon as well.

    It may not be the most popular platform, but they're looking to increase its usefulness and continue to improve and evolve it to meet the needs of gamers. This could be the step in the right direction to better adoption. It's enjoyable to share what you've accomplished, or what you're doing in a game, and this just makes it that much more easy. But is it enough to turn the tide from what was previously a negative inclusion?

    AMD Launches VR Ready Crimson 16.3.2 Drivers – Supports Recommended GCN Cards Including Flagship Radeon Pro Duo

    AMD has also launched their latest VR Ready Crimson 16.3.2 Drivers which deliver VR support to many GCN cards that have been recommended by AMD for VR Gaming including the flagship Radeon Pro Duo which is being launched this quarter. The driver also supports the latest Oculus SDK v1.3 and uses the latest LiquidVR features that give GCN based cards a good boost in performance by taking advantage of Async shaders.
    Note: AMD has provided the link to the drivers below but they haven’t gone live yet. AMD has assured that the drivers will be available shortly.



    AMD’s VR Ready Crimson 16.3.2 Drivers Released – Support Oculus SDK v1.3 and Radeon Pro Duo Graphics Card

    The Crimson 16.3.2 drivers have two important features, one is that they deliver VR support on Radeon cards. The second is that they come with the LiquidVR technology which is AMD’s software suite to provide devs and content creators the tools to harness the power of GCN architecture in their applications. The key features of the LiquidVR SDK include Asynchronous Shaders, Affinity Multi-GPU and Quick Response Queue. AMD plans to build an entire VR ecosystem around LiquidVR which would help current and upcoming GCN cards to provide the best performance to users in VR content.

    AMD themselves have previously stated that their products are powering 83% of VR systems around the globe. This is quite a huge figure but as of right now, only 1% of the installed PC market has VR ready systems. Taking in mind that the entire Windows PC install base in around 1.4-1.5 Billion in 2016, this is a very low install base and to change that, the system requirements of having a VR ready system have to be fulfilled by faster yet less costly hardware components. Major markets such as China are expected to see a 142% VR Growth rate in 2020 which will be made possible with next generation hardware and better software side support in the VR market.

    Oculus Rift starts shipping today! People have been dreaming about immersive high-end VR for decades, and now the Rift is here and AMD is ready.
    To align with this major VR milestone, we are releasing a new driver: AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 Driver includes support for the Oculus Rift SDK v1.3 – as well as the Radeon Pro Duo – and is optimized for the Rift, offering the most stable and compatible driver for developing VR experiences on the Rift to-date.
    We’ve worked very closely with Oculus to implement LiquidVR features into their software that take full advantage of Radeon GPUs. For example, our Asynchronous Shaders and new Quick Response Queue feature are utilized to enable Oculus’ Asynchronous Time Warp technology that reduces latency and image judder caused by dropped frames. via AMD

















    The latest Crimson drivers enable VR support with the availability of VR HMDs (Head Mounted Displays). Just a couple of weeks back, AMD announced their latest VR Ready Premium and VR Ready Creator programs. The VR Ready Premium program aims to deliver certified VR Ready PCs based on AMD hardware to consumers. The VR Ready Creator program provides content creators and developers with a variety of tools to help them create VR experiences and take advantage of AMD’s GCN cards.

    AMD set to kill off 32-bit Radeon drivers




    Who needs it?


    AMD looks close to killing off support for 32-bit Windows for its Radeon drivers.

    Techpowerup found a hint when it visited AMD's Drivers + Download Center on the company website, and tried clicking on the "32-bit" links of some of its Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 drivers, which redirected to an ominously-worded AMD knowledge-base article (Article #GPU-622).
    This knowledge-base article, intended for people looking for 32-bit drivers, reads:
    “A system running Microsoft Windows 10 64 Bit can take full advantage of the advanced visual and performance features of these graphics cards. However, AMD also provides 64 Bit drivers for Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Windows 7 to accommodate those users who choose to use an older Microsoft Operating System.”
    But the knowledge-base article has no links for the drivers users are looking for. It looks like 32-bit versions of Radeon Software 16.3.2 are still there but you have to practically crack the webpage to find it.
    According to the download page, AMD's recently launched Radeon Pro Duo already completely lacks 32-bit Windows support, and the company is only providing 64-bit drivers. The move makes common sense. Most of AMD’s Radeon R9 and Fury series GPUs feature 4 GB or more of video memory, and 64-bit Windows users making up the most of the rest. Hard to find anyone who will run 32-bit Windows for games.

    Primeira machada a serio para acabar com os SOs anteriores(e posteriores) ao Win Vista de 32Bits, espera-se que a nVidia mais tarde ou mais cedo acabe por seguir o mesmo caminho.

    Sim. Convém manter o máximo de clientes antigos e novos o maior tempo possivel. Agora que a AMD está empenhada em fazer algo sério, faz sentido excluir os 32bits. Até porque W10, dx12 e 32bits é aquela combinação tipo...

    Nvidia Geforce 364.72 drivers come with plenty of issues



    Might be even killing some graphcis cards
    It appears that Nvidia can't seem to get a break when it comes to drivers as the last Geforce 364.72 WHQL-certified drivers are apparently killing some graphics cards.

    According to Nvidia Geforce forums posts, there are multiple issues with the latest Geforce 364.72 WHQL-certified drivers where users with random graphics cards are reporting freezes and crashes as well as dead graphics cards after installing the latest Geforce 364.72 WHQL-certified drivers.
    To be fair, some users are reporting that they have no issues whatsoever so it does not seem to be fixed on a certain system or certain graphics card series.
    There is a 25 page long thread on Nvidia's Geforce forums so you might want to check it out before installing the latest drivers from Nvidia. Also, you can check out a Reddit thread that talks about the same problem.

    Nvidia Geforce 364.72 WHQL drivers were released a few days ago and brought a couple of improvements including support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets.
    Thanks goes to James who sent us an email.
