Does it work for you? 

It doesn;t for me :(

works great here. cranked up the resolution in borderlands 2 to 2560x1440 on my 1080p. worked beautifully.

 

edit: using an r9 280x and still getting 60 fps....actually quite shocked at that honestly

I refuse to read threads whose author does not know how to remove the caps lock!

They had windows 10 support for a long time and there were visible performance improvements. The beta drivers have been good. WHQL certifcation shouldn't matter to gamers but still there seem to be some people who care a about WHQL certificaiton, and for them this release will make them happy. Even though WHQL is no guarantee of driver quality; just look at Nvidia releases they have some good and some very troublesome WHQL releases.

 

Linux gamers guys have also been reporting some openGL performance improvements in some games with these.

 

Also people who bought 7xxx GPUs back in 2011 must be very happy that they are still getting new features and aggressive performance tuning. 

the beta didnt have windows 10 support no? it was under there release notes and all...imfact they reccommended using the WHQL one for windows 10from the update instead

If you manually installed them under windows 10 they would work fine. And apart from that AMD had been pushing some unique drivers via windows update for users of the windows 10 technical preview. However these were not available for download on their website.

4 hours, ill slap my old 7950GHz edt into the case and test it for you... gotta find out if true. If it is true, then the 7000 series will probably see a noticable rise in aftermarket value

15.7 :o

 

Yeap it works. Hacked drivers only allowed VSR through HDMI. 15.7 now allows me to have VSR over DVI. (Win 7- 64)

Installed this yesterday for R9 300 series on my 290 with 390x BIOS. No issues yet and I see the FRTC feature is now added. Set it to 60 and will turn off vsync in all my games now. :)

 

VSR is awesome. I run most games at 1440p on my 1080p display with reduced or no AA. Provides a cleaner/sharper image compared to native 1080p with full AA but without much of a performance hit. In fact, some games actually run better this way since certain levels of AA can be very demanding.

if you run a moderate cpu you might actually see better usage. so either the same or better FPS

I can report, that in The Witcher 3, the new drivers gives me +7 FPS. I went from 58 (average) to 65 (average)

 

System

CPU: i7 4790k

RAM: 32GB DDR3 1866MHz HyperX

GPU: R9 295x2

 

Settings:

3440x1440 60Hz

Hairworks Off

Tesselation forced to X16 within CCC

Motion Blur off

Blur off

Grass Density High

Vsync off

Frame limiter (in game): Unlimited

FRTC (CCC): 85

 

All in all, a good driver. Only issue is that the screen flickers black (like split second) and goes to desktop 2-3 times before starting a game. This may be because i run the game in fullscreen and that causes the second half of my 295x2 to awaken, thus it initializes CF.

To those asking. Yes you can use VSR on dvi and windows 8.1. Using it right now to jack my res up from 1080 to 1440
