I have an issue with the new drivers (Crimson, previously CCC) front end: they are the lipstick of the pig, after shaving it and cutting a leg.
It looks better, seems to be working somewhat fine, but the stupid options are all over the place. And the important settings were removed. I mean, I can't even change the refresh rate of my monitor FFS. I have to use the Windows monitor driver to do that now. Plus, there are no deeper configurations other than the FRTC (framerate target control?).
I hoped for AMD to make Crimson as half as useful as the RadeonPro utility we had before. HALF OF IT. Not even that. It's still the same useless piece of crap software we had before, just sleeker looking. I had better (steady) framerates using the 13.12 drivers + RadeonPro 1.1.1.1 than now using the "latest and greatest" with my 7970.
Well, sorry about the rant, but it's just... Frustrating.
Well, if you had bothered to click on "additional settings" you would've been presented with a catalyst-like menu where you can do what you just claimed you couldn't.
This is why you don't buy dual video cards in advance of any game, nor do you hope (if you do happen to have dual video cards already) that any game that does come out to ever have any support for dual video cards.
Having this notion is like putting the cart infront of the horse or counting your chickens before you hatch -- You just don't know if the game publisher will ever bother supporting multiple graphics cards, but you know all will support one graphics card, so the aim should always be to get the single, largest graphics card you can budget for and never aim for getting another down the road. (At that later point, you're just investing additional money into technology that's already been obsoleted.)
Pretty sure you completely missed his point. Lordan said he has nvidia card(s) and his friend who also bought it (the GAME, just to play with him) has AMD card(s). Neither camp has multicard support working well yet. That is what he was stating. Yes, most newly released games initially have poor support for multicard setups. Most just complain it shouldn't take that long especially since it's not new tech. Most, if not, all major games will eventually fully support multicard tech. He is not saying either of them bought a multicard set up for the game.

Rant time!I have an issue with the new drivers (Crimson, previously CCC) front end: they are the lipstick of the pig, after shaving it and cutting a leg.

Hence the "pig with a cut leg". I know of those settings and no they don't have the refresh nor any other settings for that matter.In any case, no. If you ever used RadeonPro, then you would know what I am complaining about.
Cheers!

What's wrong with using the Windows' built in options for changing the resolution and refresh rate?LordanSS - Tuesday, April 5, 2016 - link
Guess it's still the same for both camps here.... no adequate Crossfire/SLI profile yet for The Division.I have nVidia, friend of mine who bought it so we could play together has AMD. Wonder if the engine just won't allow for AFR at all.

I hope you don't cut yourself when you are shaving your head. Racist piece of shit.
