And here are the release notes for this brand new driver:
Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.4.1 Highlights
Support for:
- Quantum Break
- Up to 35% faster performance using Quantum Break on Radeon R9 Fury X than with Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2
- Oculus Rift
- HTC Vive
Resolved Issues
- Frame rate capping issues experienced in some DirectX12 applications is resolved.
- Hitman may experience flickering when played in DirectX 11 mode using high game shadow settings.
Known Issues
- A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved “In Game Overlay”
- Need For Speed may experience poor scaling or flickering in AMD Crossfire mode. As a work around users can disable the profile through the Radeon Settings game manager.
- The Division may experience flickering in AMD Crossfire mode.
- Power efficiency toggle in Radeon Settings is showing up for some unsupported products.
- XCOM2 users may experience an application crash when using AMD Crossfire mode. As a work around please disable AMD Crossfire for the games profile in the Radeon Settings Gaming tab.
- Some DX9 applications cannot disable AMD Crossfire mode through Radeon Settings.
- A small subset of AMD Radeon R9 380 users may be experiencing slower than expected fan speeds. A work around is to raise your fan speeds through AMD Overdrive in Radeon Settings manually to a desired amount.
- HDMI Scaling options may not be available in Radeon Settings on some system configurations.

A streamer is reporting Quantum Break is playing at 30 fps on his 980 on low settings… Maybe Nvidia needs a hot fix as well?
What streamer? It isn’t in the store yet. Keys are not out yet (for those who preordered it for XONE). So how is he playing it?
would love to show but links are pending…
Ooooh that’s good to know I was just going to purchase this and I have a 980, do you mind telling me who the streamer is would like to check it out. They must have also gotten it early as its not up in the W10 store yet
That’s the point. Nobody was giving anything early. There’s no video to prove anything.
what s***t 30fps low settings
980 is an interesting nickname for his Xbox One. I am going to name 4 potatoes in my fridge Titan X so I can say I have 4 Titan Xs.
nice joke but others are reporting the same issues even on 980 TI. And they are legit streamers
What legit streamers? where? i can’t find a single video or stream…reviewers didn’t get the game on Pc..how did the streamers get it?
The game isn’t even out for pc yet. It’s not available for purchase on Windows store yet.
It is out
35% is significant for a driver optimization.
Still no word on multi gpu support, but I do believe they are working on it.
They started off this whole W10 gaming endeavor badly, and with thier already negative reputation after the gfwl debacle it certainly didn’t help their reputation w/ pc gamers.
But I will say in the 2 games I’ve tried from the Windows Store, Gears of War UE was rough performance wise to start off but has steadly improved from patches to the point that I can play at 1440p and Gsync now with no problems. Killer Instinct also had the refresh issue, but performance wise hit the ground very optimized w/ my 980 easily bumping up against my refresh rate cap of 144fps. A quick edit in nvidia inspector brought it down to a more sane 60 fps. So it does seem they are both getting better in the release state and thier devs have been listening and updating the problems that are there. So even though I’m getting the feeling this game will run better on AMD hw I’m going to give it a go in hopes of getting decent performance at launch and hopefully multi gpu support down the line.
It’s because the FuryX is different a GCN and it probably ran like crap without the optimisation for the newer GCN like Gears of War had the same issue.
This is not going to run at 1080p/60FPS on a GTX 970, I just feel it. XB1 version is 720p.
It doesnt support SLi and it seems like it’s running poorly on a 980 !!

If this port runs like crap you can only blame Microsoft. So much for directx12
You really dont understand what dx12 is, do you?

this port is bad
I found it, a guy named Joseph Bradford. He kind of backstepping on that saying it may have been an issue w/ his pc etc, working with microsoft to troubleshoot. It is concerning though, I’ll wait to get a more general consensus and some actual footage before making a purchasing decision. I hope that it comes out playing well though as the game looks really cool
I read all his post. he is pretty hot about it not performing good
Read his previous posts. GTA doesn’t work for him..he has problems with Witcher 3 also. The question is what game can he play? There is something definitely wrong with his pc.
Could be, I tend to be patient while others will hear something bad from 1 person and decide the sky is falling. And of course being a streamer doesn’t mean your an expert or in some cases even computer literate. When it comes to performance analysis I tend to wait to for places like digital foundry to provide an analysis or even dso. But will know for sure in a bit as I’ll take the chance buy it. Will post an update once game keys come out
I’m waiting also. They sure are taking time releasing it. I’m not pro or con anything as some people so i don’t have a problem with it being on Winstore..they had problems sure, but ROTTR and Gears are playing really good now. With other options coming in May, things are not that bad as everybody want them to be.
Who didn’t see this coming. :p
I had to revert back to 15. drivers, as the latest ones kept turning VSR off.

Picked this up, I would say hold off for now. Missing basic features like a quit button on the main menu. Presents same bugs when it comes to Gsync that GoW initially did, which is really dumb because GoW fixed that issue, so don’t get why they wouldn’t have used that knowledge. No multi gpu support and performance is not great high 40’s low 50’s depending on whether indoors or outside. Looks good at least.
Playing on max setting @ 1440p. Sli 980’s i5-4690k and 16gb of ram.
Really do better devs/msoft
I know it’s a minority but I’d really like to know how does the game performs on AMD. I mostly care about that because I use AMD and because we all know Nvidia has problems with DX12.
Well, on one hand, thanks… but my german sucks and google makes it look worse haha. It seems to suck too though. Thanks anyway.
Can someone explain to me why Remedy is still developing games for Microsoft?
