BF4 15fps Gain - Today's Amd Driver Update 15.7.1

[ShiftHitTheFan]

This isn't really huge, but the windows 10 patch 15.7.1 Driver update had some "fixes" for Battlefield 4 in it. I wanted to see if there was any fps difference between the drivers fps wise, and I got 15 more fps avg! On the 15.7.0, I had 73 fps AVG all ultra settings on my R9 280x. On 15.7.1 I got 87 fps avg. Same settings, same spawn spot, using the game's performance test.

....but fx chips can't play modern games-games at 60fps!!?! -Intel circlejerk

I probably started something. Sorry OP. But proof a 100$ cpu is enough.

Crazy to see a driver make such a improvement.

I never tried dx11, so there might still be an increase.

seems fishy, I bet AMD downgraded something in the graphics

Downgrade?

How would AMD downgrade something in the game through drivers when they don't make the game?
