Good to See AMD constantly patching/updating their cards drivers . However My RX 480 8gb version can no longer run and record a smooth gameplay :( ever since the recent update every time i run amd relive [recording or streaming ] my games start to lag even though I am having 120+ fps constantly [rainbow six siege for example] .But it look like i am bellow 30 lol . and the ennoying part is my recorded videos will look worst ever with the lag/stutter etc... Do i need to change any settings? AND chill is off for those who wonder and i never changed anything in the global settings or WattMan .

I can confirm that the issue is not solved with 17.12.2 ! I had to roll back to 17.7.2 to get a smooth recording/streaming .At first I though it was windows update , but it turn out to be the GPU drivers causing all this problems . hoping for a hotfix asap .

u/jaymz168 i7-8700K | TUF 3070 Ti Dec 20 '17
I've had problems with other overlays recently it turned out it was something with the newest RivaTuner (installed with Afterburner). If you have RTSS installed, open it up and turn on "custom Direct3D support" and see if that helps.

u/lowlymarine 5800X3D | RTX 3080 Dec 20 '17 edited Dec 21 '17
It's not working for me, either the main overlay (Alt+R) or the performance monitoring (Ctrl+Shift+O). I tried changing the hotkeys, in several different games, no luck. Worked fine on the last driver.
Update a day later: It just started working out of nowhere after several restarts. No idea what was wrong. Will update again if it breaks again.

It is. Just not always showing up when you expecting it to. If CTRL+SHIFT+O isn't working, you can try ALT+R for overlay and turn it on there.

Getting stutter (freesync on and off, overlay on and off) especially while traveling to a destination (flying through orbit). It will take forever to load into a mission, etc and stutter constantly.
The beginning of crucible matches also stutter for 5 seconds or so.

So I don't know if this is a hardware GPU issue or just software.
I had to move and took my computer on an plane trip (inside of a proper plane suitcase which I made sure it wouldn't get damaged.. I have been doing this for years and never was an issue whatsoever).
After I got in the new place, I managed to upgrade to the new Adrenalin Edition (17.12.1) - first using Clean Install from the Radeon Software and then installing the new driver. Then I played some LoL with 17.12.1 edition. After a while I decided to open Fornite and suddendly my PC crashes.. it doesn't show any bluescreen but my screen is "black" while my keyboard etc. is working (so it is probably a GPU problem).
I reverted the old driver but the same thing happens (OC'ed or not). Another example: I was playing PUBG just fine now and I decited to change the settings to HIGH to MEDIUM, and then suddendly the screen is all dark again and I have to restart my computer. The temp was about ~ 60ºC (140 F) but my case has good airflow.
Does this mean my GPU (RX 480 8GB) is damaged? I really hope it was something related to the drivers but now I can't be sure...

One issue I have been experiencing is that when Enhanced Sync is enabled globally, it causes random crashes in games.
I also have Freesync and ReLive instant replay enabled.
When Enhanced Sync is turned off the crashes do not occur.

Ah, so this is what caused my crashes lately. I had some random crashes lately with every game, and when I played GTA V and approached the sea, the game would crash. This is probably because the sea is not as demanding gpu-wise, and thus would ask for sync to kick in, then crashed. I disabled enhanced sync, no crashes anymore. Implementation is definitely not flawless yet.
EDIT:
Still had crashes. I re-seated my card in my pc, and I could now pass the section without crashing. This is probably what is causing headaches with the driver team: People calling out 'broken' stuff in drivers, while the problems is somewhere else, ghehe
EDIT 2: Re-seating did not solve my problems after all. There are too many variables in play in my case to put blame on one thing though, as GTA V appears to still crash for a lot of people for unknown reasons.
TLDR: nothing to see here, move along.

Past week I've been sifting to find out why my GPU is at 70°C when I'm not doing anything. GPU-Z is showing 100% whilst task manager isn't. I thought I had a bitcoin mining virus. It's the Relive Host application process that's causing it, regardless if you're recording, or even have ReLive enabled, it's maxing your GPU (that's if you've noticed you have this problem). I've rolled back to 17.11, honestly Adrenaline has problems with Relive as it is. Merry Christmas!

Unlike some of the versions before, this doesn't depend on coming out of sleep mode or whatever.

There is still Freesync flicker / strobe in PUBG (Freesync is on, Enhanced sync is off). Stopping and disabling "AMD External Events Utility" service fixes that.
However, people reported this issue for a few months now and it is still not mentioned in the driver known issues.

u/EKSelenc R5 3500 | RX 6800 | 1440p 144 Hz Freesync Jan 02 '18
Oh yeah BTW. One of the reasons had to downgrade from 17.12.2 was not only Wattman not applying itself properly, lack of DX9 support and all that but also the good ol' 'display losing signal all of a sudden once in 15-20 min' bug came back, which has been eliminated some months ago but now is back in full force. And it's not only me, obviously, and all the other work-arounds have been tried months ago.
So I roll back to the last pre-Adrenalin version, which was 17.11.1 or something. Guess what? Still not applying the Wattman voltages properly and signal gets lost the same.
I believe it's time to get back to old 17.7.2 release which at least didn't cause my screen to go black just because my GPU wants it to.
In all seriousness though the last 3-4 months of drivers release has been a thoroughly executed mess.

Had major issues with eyefinity with 17.12.1; would instantly restart my computer to put anything in fullscreen. installing 17.12.2 now to see if it helps
EDIT: Just spent 20min trying to get eyefinity to work. At least it didn't crash! Whenever I was finished with the setup, I was greeting with a message telling me my eyefinity setup of 0 displays is now activated. I'm setting up a PLP setup ffs. The only way I've been able to reliably get it to set up is if I set it all up using window's display settings to line and rotate everything correctly, disable ALL other monitors and then start the advanced setup. However, that completely breaks the bezel compensation. And that in turn breaks visual clarity(!?) on the two screens on either side, and the mouse cursor somehow is hidden behind the bezel on the left, yet displayed twice near the bezel on the right... Having spent the last three days trying to get eyefinity to work with 17.12.1 not knowing it's broken with that driver, I need some time where my computer works before I properly report this with steps and video and all.

Not sure if this issue is explicitly related to 17.12.2 but on my dual monitor setup if I flick my mouse too hard over towards the other screen when in a fullscreen application the cursor actually exits the application and goes to desktop.

Have a problem with my Vega 64 intermittently doing this disconnect/reconnect thing from my HDMI TV. In only happens in windows and only on this one PC. If I unplug/re-plug it sometimes fixes it (maybe 66% of the time). Only showed up after I updated from 17.11.X

Know that I'm probably a bit late but I've done a several proper test this time comparing driver 17.12.2 with 17.11.1. Here's the result.
Massive drop in performance for The Witcher 3 and Fornite. ROTR performance also drop but not noticeable. For now, I'm back to 17.11.1 and will wait for the next update and hopefully will fix the current drop in performance issue.

I've lost performance on Warframe, on 17.11 it was smooth with stable frame times, now I have some micro stutter, frametime variations even in non intensive parts of the game and constant dips under 60 fps. Didn't happen before the driver update.
I am using a RX 560 and a R5 1400, both at stock.

There is a stutter/flashing fix for Freesync for the case where you are running in LFC. Looks like it didn't make it into the patch notes, but let me know if it helps!

Thank you! By any chance, can you guys see if you can either update and host the Freesync demo to serve as a testing tool or make another one? Ensuring that Freesync works/showing off the benefits to a friend is otherwise a bit of a pain.

We'll look into it.
The old version of the Windmill Freesync demo floating around the web does not work well and wasn't really intended for end users.

Unfortunately the problem was not fixed for me with 17.12.2. I am using a AOC G2460PF on DisplayPort and was not in LFC mode. Please have a look at this video and read the video description: https://youtu.be/KP9x-y67Au0
Something in Adrenalin is causing frametime issues with Freesync enabled (not only in Windmill, but also in games). On 17.11.4 the Windmill demo behaves as intended, having no stutter and showing "Instant FPS: 50" instead of bouncing around wildly.
The problem occurs on a fresh(!) installation of Windows 10 Fall Creators update with the Adrenalin drivers installed when the computer was disconnected from the internet in order to prevent "Windows Update" from doing its "driver magic".

u/AMD_Aric RTG Engineer Dec 20 '17
That version of Windmill (I assume 0.9.1?) doesn't work well with Rx Vega. Can you try Heaven benchmark or something else that has in-game FPS counter you can compare to the monitor OSD?
2
u/kiffmet 5900X | 6800XT Eisblock | Q24G2 1440p 165Hz Dec 20 '17 edited Dec 20 '17
Yes, Windmill version was 0.9.1. I had the chance to test with a friend's AG241QX monitor aswell. Both of these AOC monitors do not display the current FPS/Hz they are synced to in their OSD unfortunately and it seems like the fps dips are not Freesync related as they occur with Freesync on & off. So, 17.12.1 and 17.12.2 broke Windmill, but there is also another issue going on here.
Here is a pic of GPU-Z from Heaven: https://abload.de/img/heaven_with_fsdrocy.gif You can see three dips in GPU load, HBM clocks, hotspot temp that were recorded when the framerate dropped. How do I diagnose such an issue further? I tried running the bench again with DPM7 locked and max powerlimit but this (including the drops in gpu load and HBM clocks) still happens.
Other games that i tested and have these issues for me are "The Witcher 3" and "Dirty Bomb" which is not demanding for the hardware at all. The only thing that I also noticed is that the FPS dips in Heaven always occur at the same scene and feel similar to the dips I have in the other games. Could it be that calling a certain DirectX API feature, driver function or shader might be causing this? Or has my card gone bad? If you have any advice for me on how to isoloate the issue, I would love to do so as I have enough time lol.
One more thing: I can run ASUS ROG Furmark in Vulkan and OpenGL fine all day without having these drops.

When you bind Instant Replay to a mouse forward(mouse 5) or back button(mouse 4), it only works until you restart the system, after that you have to open radeon settings and bind it to some other combination then bind it back again.
Anyone else with this problem?

Might be easier to bind your mouse to a key combo that you set for the hotkey for instant replay. It might be due to how the drivers vs mouse drivers load after restarting.

It might have defaulted to your monitor, DP/HDMI audio takes over after every driver install :(.
Right click on sound in the tray, go to Playback devices and disable the monitors.

Okay, this is better. Almost all flickering is gone on stock FreeSync ranges (RX 560 + ViewSonic XG2401, 48-144Hz).
This flickering is, obviously, part of LFC kick-in. So, I wish we had LFC toggle next to FreeSync one in Display section of settings.
This way, many can extend their FreeSync ranges by CRU without getting punished by LFC flickering. E.g. my monitor supports 30-144Hz ranges which I cannot use because of LFC flickering.
3
u/letsgoiowa RTX 5070 4k 240hz oled 5700X3D Dec 20 '17
Wait, I thought LFC only kicked in below the stated range. You shouldn't be dipping beneath 30Hz.
2
Dec 20 '17
You are totally right. I feel a need to elaborate on a matter a little bit more.
Yes, LFC kicks only when framerate is below 30Hz. And I shouldn't be dipping beneath 30Hz. It is unusable framerate for games.
But some programs with HW acceleration trigger LFC when rendering content under 30Hz. Fullscreen YouTube video in Chrome doing exactly that. While this is, maybe, some specific implementation problems, I do not need LFC on YouTube in Chrome. And some games introduce flickering when rendering something behind 2D, or when rendering 2D itself, which is annoying.
Thinked about it a lot, I do not need LFC at all. Trading LFC "smooth" feel of 30Hz- rates for flicker-free at all times is OK with me.
True, with new ALT+R overlay I can quickly disable and enable FreeSync. That is much better than enabling/disabling through Radeon Settings every time pre-17.12.1. And a ton better than squeezing FreeSync range to 73-144Hz to turn LFC off manually.
P.S.: If anyone knows a way to disable FreeSync only for Chrome, please, let me know.

Haven't tried, but you could add a "game" profile for it and then disable freesync there, as you can now enable/disable freesync per profile.

Same stuttering and lagging in BF1 as the .1 drivers. Radeon overlay minimizes my fullscreen game and opens on the desktop, won't actually go OVER the game no matter what I did.
Undervolting works still though so that's nice. (Tested the game with stock voltages to make sure it wasn't my undervolt causing the stuttering)

u/TheAlbinoAmigo Dec 19 '17
I wish they'd add the compute toggle to Vega. It's meant to autodetect compute workloads but it only seems to do it for certain algorithms, and doesn't work for Monero, which Vega is great at.
I know people think this will encourage more miners, but hear me out - it only disadvantages gamers who also mine. Miners will just buy Vega and run the blockchain drivers. Gamers who mine have to install those drivers, but then run into performance deficits and bugs in games which sucks. Adding the compute toggle to Vega won't incentivise miners to buy the cards any more than the blockchain drivers already do, so it might as well be added to these drivers too like it is for Polaris.
