    Tested it and it was nice, but the vsync off requirement needs to be improved on. They gotta make it work nicely with vsync on,/frame caps/VRR …

    Anyone want to report on the black/green screen crashes on this one? The release notes don’t look too promising.

    Does anyone know if this driver also has the latest fixes/improvements from 23.11.1? Thanks

        That’s the main concern for me too.

        Ever since I bought RX 7600 (specifically for CS2) it’s had occasional driver timeouts. Tried everything, even went through with an RMA with no change. Reproducible in CS2 staring at water on anubis ct spawn usually fairly quickly < 10 minutes. Only workaround was limiting the boost clock speed from 2900 to around 2750.

        I just spent ~45min testing on this driver (at a steady 2900+ mhz boost clock) with no issues. Cautiously optimistic after all of the stuff I tried. If it survives an overnight test it will be a massive relief.

    Does anyone know if this will work like AMD Chill? I just tried it but my GPU started heating up more quickly than it would have with AMD Chill so I am guessing that it doesn’t work the same way.

    I really don’t want to disable AMD Chill. It’s soooo good

      Chill disables itself in the most important moments like menus and loading screens. You’d be probably better off locking the game to 60 fps with something like RTSS if you want to double it to 120 and would work better, I’d presume.

    Can someone let me know if this helps with crashes on 7800XT i.e. black/green screen of death? I got my RMA ready and will ship it tomorrow if this is not the miracle I’ve been waiting for over the last three weeks…

    Lower power consumption doing light tasks (like browsing the net) with the preview drivers compared to 23.11.1 in my case (was around 45W with the 23.11.1 vs around 20W with this one).

    23.11.1 had the VRAM clocking to 900MHz as soon as I moved the mouse (far from the max 2487MHz of my XTX but enough to account for that added power consumption) .

    Well I just installed it because I was angry about crashes and BSOD with 23.11.1 driver. So far this version seems to be doing ok, but I’ll need a few more days without a crash for it to see.

    I just wonder why I cannot use AFMF with Genshin Impact. It says incompatible mode or so. Anyone got it to work with this game?

      You can use it with Genshin by disabling fullscreen optimizations in the exe file properties, starting the game with a shortcut with “-window-mode exclusive” as a launch option in the target file, and disabling vsync. Although, playing the game with AFMF lowers my screen contrast so much for some reason that it makes it unplayable. The first time I did it, it didn’t have that problem. It also doesn’t happen with the other games I have.

      Just a PSA, there is an FPS unlocker for genshin, but use it at your own risk

      Tomorrow I will try AFMF without the unlocker and report back

    If this is a preview, we should get these drivers as official in the next update?

      That’s not how this particular set of beta drivers work as there have been 4 versions so far. Check the release notes for earlier editions. I.e. it’s a work in progress

      Saying that the last beta and this beta driver have been pretty good for me.

    I reported a problem with League of Legends crashing the other day, only present on the Preview driver from early October, even with AFMF disabled. It does not happen with the regular driver. I wonder if they’ve had a look at it.

      I’ve just reverted to 23.10.2 because league would randomly freeze my whole PC, can play very demanding games from this year for hours and no problem, but league is a shitshow

      I reverted solely for league and tab-out issue – looks like this supposedly resolves tabbing out, any updates on league crashing with this driver (I’ll give it a shot myself anyway, just curious if worth it)

    “We are responding to the excitement from our community and are adding support for Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Desktop Graphics Cards.”

    How exited do we need to get so they support RX 5000 Cards?

      They made it clear it is not a priority. RDNA1 got DXNavi years later. AMD sold RDNA1 with very low prices for good rasterized performance. On the other hand, they asked for a premium with RDNA2 and it is only right they back it up with good feature updates.

        Justifications like this are ridiculous. Got DXNavi years later when only being one gen old is no excuse, regardless of how much it costed, tons of people own it. They need to support their cards better like NVIDIA

    Can anyone confirm if the broken RDNA2 HW Accelerated video playback (stutters/freezes) fix from 23.10.1 is implemented in the new 9 Nov AFMF driver? Last one didn’t have it

      Seems like it’s fixed, already using them for around 3 hours and there’s no freezes like in the past AFMF drivers, weird they didn’t mention it as fixed.
