they are faster than nvidia this time…and its a good thing for everyone
Bro they released them 2 hours before Nvidia
Settle down on how they were “faster”
Don’y be a sore loser
No, for Total Warhammer they didn’t, just for Overwatch.
well i remember an 8 months time lapse without any amd driver around the last 3 years so yea compared to their driver schedule history they are much more faster and also are releasing more often than ever
nvidia only did overwatch a game you can run 1080p on a gtx 950…lol
Good they used release them days after a “said game” release date. That’s good!
When Radeon Pro Duo was released they promised to bring game optimized drivers. I did not expect them be that fast though. Good thing.
anyone want a overwatch origin’s edition code?
yes it will be awesome if I can get one for PC! Thank you!
Na I have two codes do you want me to send it on your steam account or something.
Sorry for being late, I thought I already posted the message. Seems that it is waiting to be approved. You can also search me on Steam – DanielDG – I am the guy from Romania with the Alan Wake Picture Profile!
Ya I will have the code ready for you in like an hour just add me and I will send it to you later.
If you already gave it to someone else, please tell me, so I can stop hoping for it.
AMD have had the best drivers now for a long time. It’s just the green shills that deny it.
Anyone know how to supersample using 16.5? All the guides talk about 16.1…
