Yes, you guys saw that tittle. A 50% Decrease in FPS after installing the latest AMD 15.30.1025 "Crimson" drivers.

I have an MSI R7 260x and used to run BF4 on low settings at a smooth 60 fps. Now I even cheer when I see 30... Same goes for CS:Go, a non-demanding game I used to score 160-200 fps on now goes for 70-90, more than a 50% decrease in fps. CS:GO is playable but if there's any serious players out here, you'll know under 120 is a handicap for this game. And BF4? Unplayable. 30 is when standing still... Fire a shot? 10-15...

 

Any of you guys have thhe same experience? A solution? A way to downgrade drivers? because AMD sure isn't helping me by hiding their old drivers...

What are your temps? The new driver had a bug that limited some fan speeds to 30%. So if you start playing with that low of a fan speed, you will thermal throttle heavily on BF4.  They announced a new hot fix a few days ago, you might look into that as well.

Thanks!

15.30 is the temp fix to 15.11 or whatever the dumb one was :(

Link to what? Check your temps first. If they are normal (60-65-70 even) then it may or may not fix it.

 

I believe this is the new one http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/November-30-hotfix.aspx.

 

Released 11/30/2015 after the original "Crimson Update" on 11/24/2015

 

Remember to UNINSTALL all the drivers, before installing that. :)

 

Edit This link may also be helpful. https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=windows+7+-+64

 

Download the Beta driver not the original Crimson drivers. {That page is for Windows 7 Drivers}
