Adrenaline 24.9.1

[learners permit]

The newest Adrenaline driver version 24.9.1 finally allows frame limiting in conjunction with AMD fluid motion frames for a massive increase in FPS while reducing power consumption in more demanding games. I haven't really tested it much but so far it is very impressive and it's working on 6000 and 7000 series gpus. Release notes say it's working with chill enabled but not really working for me. I found that if I set my in game FPS limit to 50% of my panels refresh rate it's working perfectly. This should make some of the high res high refresh gamers happy though and I can't feel any additional latency as old and slow as I am. I recommend you give it a try as it only takes a few minutes and you may be pleasantly surprised.

you caught the note that vsync must be disabled for it to work right, right?

Yes thanks. Been fiddling around trying to get it working for VR but no dice.

I just downloaded the 24.9.1 and I noticed the AMD driver takes ages to load when the computer is booted and if I don't wait for it to load onto the taskbar before launching a game the game will crash.

7900 XT and 7900 XTX rigs upgraded and zero issues. But I'm "easy" - mostly play Fortnite.

I honestly would resort to bribery to have frame gen working in VR.

oh man - spoke too soon...7900 XT / Win 11 / Fortnite. https://valid.x86.fr/4ys5z1

Jeez just had another crash at the end of a round. Cursed rig, I guess. My 7900 XTX rig has been solid.

EDIT: crashed more since - but I replicated my settings on my 7900 XTX rig (Anti-lag and image sharpening: ON) - and it has been OK so far.
EDIT2: crash again...just going to sit this out with this rig until there is an update, I guess. Lego Fortnite seems to work but not Battle Royal for some reason.
EDIT3: I'm a glutton for punishment - thought that maybe after a reboot things could be sorted - nope. Same thing!
EDIT4: safe mode, DDU, boot, reinstall > try again: same issue.
