Issue fixed in Crimson 17.2.1.

Nice to see this issue fixed.

If someone ask, Async Compute still disabled in new driver (16.12.2)

Ahahah Do you know which models AMD sell lately ? Did you see one of them ? Nah because the most popular models are old GCN products. HD 7900 + HD 7700 + HD 8800 + HD 7800 + R7 + R5 + R9 280 + R7 300 represent 7,5 %. Not enough to matter ? The others models(GCN 2) represent less than 1,1 % Steam have about 15 Millions users active(the percentage is calculated on active users) which means there is 1 125 000 cards that use GCN 1 versus 165 000 cards that use GCN 2.

It's that suppose to be useful ? Humm ? 1 - We(Hardware reviewers, Power Users, Games Developpers, Game Engine, etc)call it like that for more than 4 years because it was correct. 2 - I mention it in my post, so it's more like for annoying me. 3 - That's we call Marketing, Higher is better. You're more likely to buy a PS4 rather than a PS1.4 or PS3.2. 4 - What do you bring to take forward the debate?

Work as intended on R9 290s GCN 1.1 aka GCN 2. Thanks.

Okay can i take you some time and give me the results of this tool ? https://mega.nz/#!IJNQ0S4a!oLn5-FzqBqZ2potDqYRtY6nahF3bcvAPZQ26PUIMFvA Thank you.

I see what you mean but GCN 1.0(aka GCN 1) received Async Compute after release date, like GCN 1.1(aka GCN 2). If the next day AMD took of Async Compute on GCN 1.1(aka GCN 2), would you be happy ?

I spent all night installing every drivers between 16.3.1 and 16.9.2. The break point is the driver 16.4.2(released in April). After this driver no more Async Compute on GCN 1.0. So Nixxes was aware that Async Compute was not active on GCN 1.0. They released Async Compute patch for Rise Of The Tomb Raider in July, specifying that only GCN 1.1 and superior can take advantage of Async Compute.I received a good amount of results all around the world that users did for me and their results just confirmed my findings. Thank you all.

You said 16.2 and 16.8 So between 1% and 5%. This is EXACTLY the same as between 5% and 7%. Come on guy... The Async Compute implementation in Ashes is very light, Async Compute can provide up to 10% with a better implementation.
