[AMD] Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.1

Well as long as it works that's good. Windows has been a buggy mess with AMD drivers for me, once in a while i get a pcibus or something like that needs to restart to install.

The Vega VII doesn't have crossfire support.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Neither did the 16GB Frontier or Vega at launch.

Nevertheless, you don't need crossfire for DX12 Multi-GPU, which more & more games are starting to add (:

In fact, the majority of games I'm playing right now are exclusively multi-gpu. With Battlefront II (was added later), SOTTR, GOW4 & SE4 mainly taking up my time ATM. Nearly 99% scaling @ 4K= amazeballs. Strange Brigade is next up on my list once a sale hits.

Can't wait to order my pair Thursday! So excited.

Vega 64 supported crossfire at launch. It just wasn't advertised since AMD knows the market is shifting away from multi GPUs for gaming.

You won't be able to use DirectX 12 mGPU in linked node mode.

Can you disable crossfire on your Vega 64s and see the scaling when they are separate?

Actually, it was not supported at launch. It wasn't until people complained, as they originally said it would be supported when "announced", then they finally enabled it months later after launch. Which is exactly what will happen with the VII.

In fact, both Frontier & Vega offered crossfire enable options to link them together @ a hardware level for DX12 multi-gpu games at launch, it just didn't support actual crossfire profiles in games (which was why people complained).

Thanks for the correction, yes AMD confirmed Vega 64 crossfire before launch. While the Vega VII they confirmed won't be supported.

The same thing will eventually happen again. When a company says "not at the moment", it means, complain enough on Reddit and we'll enable DX11 & below profiles for crossfire on the VII. Otherwise you're left with Multi-GPU on newer games, which I'm 100% content with. The option of crossfire (in this case it originally showed multi-gpu as the option until it was changed a few drivers later to "crossfire") showed up no matter what w/ two cards at launch, which included when Vega didn't even have "supported" crossfire drivers. So it would link the cards as one (for DX12). It's whether AMD wants to allow the DX11 profiles to work on said cards. Otherwise your stuck with DX12 multi-gpu, which again I'm 100% content with. Shoot, we even got our first Vulkan Multi-GPU game this past year which coincidentally also has a DX12 Multi-GPU mode as well.

I'll post some benchmarks soon enough. Still deciding if I'm going to tear down my loop & run them on air temporarily, or wait for the first water blocks.

That's just great. So the 2019 series drivers can't tell the difference between air cooled or liquid cooled GPUs. The fans on my air cooled Vega 64 peak at 3400+rpm. I'll pass.


Also, could someone believable verify that please?

Have you tried BF5 with CFX with Vega 64s? (DX12 MPGU)

They haven't enabled MGPU yet, in similar fashion as when BF1 first came out (was finally added later). Looking forward to it because unlike BF1 DX12, BFV DX12 is a huge improvement in terms of smoothness & definitely the preferable performance mode vs DX11.
