AMD driver question

[Hemanse]

My 770 lightning cards fans broke the other day and i just turned it in for repair today, it can take up to 3-4 weeks when it has to go back to MSI and until then im stuck with a cheap XFX R7 370 i got to use in my living room pc.

Havent used an AMD card in a decade and im not sure if i should use the 15.7.1 drivers or if the beta drivers 15.8 is better? Or maybe there are even newer drivers out there ☺

newest one if you have windows 10

the most stable one if you have win 8.1/7

Beta drivers. 9 times out of 10 they're better than the regular drivers.

15.8 are fine.

Use DDU first when switching between Nvidia/AMD or vise-versa.

Then download the latest.

I've used beta drivers from AMD just fine, never really had issues with them (years ago, with BETAS... yes, not these days, their usually pretty good if not better than the normal ones)

I am on Windows 7 still, so you would suggest going for stable instead of beta?

Yeah i always run DDU even when upgrading nvidia drivers, ran DDU and cleared the nvidia drivers before i handed in the 770 but okay, think im just gonna give the beta are a go, not like i cant switch back if the beta ones crap out on me.

Pretty happy that i got this R7 370 for 80$ new right as my 770 stopped working, atleast i can use it in my main rig until i hopefully get good news about the 770, the 370 isnt exactly a speed demon tho

So far it seems alot better then it used to, tho i still gotta admit, the AMD software looks really "unprofessional", might just be me, but atleast it works. The fans on this XFX card sure does like the ramp up quick tho, quite alot more noise then what i am used to with the MSI frozr design, then again, i guess this R7 370 also do have to work overtime and needs alot of cooling
