AMD Omega drivers released!

[Jiri]

For the amd users out there, the new omega drivers have been released. Go get them! The peformance increase is insane!

I used assassins creed unity as a test for the new drivers, cause well this game runs like shit. before this driver i got about 20-25 fps after this driver its 28-45! and the fps is mostly 35 and dips to 28.

 

my rig:

fx 8320

8gb ram

r9 270x club3d royalqueen

Is it the standard 14.12 driver or something else? I thought it was only compatible with the R9 290(x) and the R9 285.

edit: Seems to be the 14.12, does it work across the board now or is it still only for the 3 newest GPUs?

Okay, installed after a complete sweep with DDU. The problem is that I don't have that many new games to actually test it with.... Anyway, no error after the installation (something that happened frequently with 14.4 and 14.9) so that's a good sign. Also I couldn't find the VSR option yet.

edit: found it, digital flat panels, properties. I thought you activate it on a game by game basis, seems like you just activate it for your monitor and then choose higher resolutions in the game.

 

Aaaand VSR is bollocks if you have multiple monitors...... The game now runs at 3200x1800 on a 1440p screen, menus don't work properly and all my other monitors are completely out of whack. Pretty useless if you ask me. Does DSR on the Nvidia-side work the same? Does the game switch resolution as well?

Few different versions of 3DMarks and then Gaming Gameplay
Skip to 5Mins'ish for Gameplay after 3Dmark.

There's even an improvement on my R7 250

The performance improvements should be for any GCN based GPU.

VLIW support yet?

 

My laptop could use some love.

Farcry 4 @ 3200x1800 Looks very nice. @ 1080p performance went up a healthy amount! 50-62fps to 59-70fps, a nice jump indeed.

But I'm mainly going to be using it for AA-Lacking games.

 

4K is only for the 285, 290's get 3200x1800

I doubt we will see any support for outdated hardware. I personally think AMD plans on dropping support for both the HD 5000 and HD 6000 series in the next couple of years.

dragon age inquisition feels a lot smoother, don't have any hard numbers though
