AMD GPU's setup and settings

[=362nd_FS=Hiromachi]

I used for a long time Mastiff settings from his thread on my old GTX 660 and it worked great. But time came to switch to a new GPU and there was just that lovely occasion to buy a high end GPU for mid price, so I grabbed Sapphire R9 Fury Tri X for less than most expensive HiS and Asus RX 480 models. I have to say that I enjoy a lot performance with this GPU so far, tried game at 1440p and can sustain between 40 to 60 FPS at almost all times (in some occasions with heavy fires and lots of targets around it drops to 30s though) while staying cool, as GPU in idle stays at 26 deg Celsius and under heavy loads it keeps below 48 degrees. A massive difference from that old 660. 

So far I've overclocked it to 1050 mhz core with a -48 mV undervolting, not much but I am not OC maniac and dont seek pushing the limits. Using AMD Crimson Drivers 16.9.2

 

Now reason for this thread is to ask any other AMD GPU users for your optimal settings giving good ingame FPS while keeping good quality (especially as this card can handle VSR), what should I adjust in game and especially in Crimson profile settings ?

S!

 

 A nice card. It is competetive in many titles out there. In IL-2 disable SSAO, it just eats FPS for no real gain in image quality. When I had AMD the best way was to use driver defaults except that I let the games control antialiasing and anisotropic filtering etc. I kept VSync application controlled as well. I used VSR to scale from 1080p to 1440p and it worked fine, did not need much FSAA. I bet performance will improve with the DirectX 11 implementation.

 

EDIT: New Crimson drivers are out.

Ok, I'll disable SSAO. Got Anti-aliasing mode set to "enhance application settings", Anti aliasing Method set to "Multisampling". Morphological Filtering is Off, Anisotropic Filtering Mide is set to "Use application settings", Texture Filtering Quality set to "High", Surface Format Optimization is On. V-sync is left to application, so I let game control that. OpenGL Triple Buffering is Off, Shader cache and Tesselation Modes are set to "Amd optimized". 

Oh, and Frame Rate Target Control is disabled. 

So if any of above you would recommend to change or adjust, I sure will try it !

 

Yes, I noticed that with 1440p I can spot targets much easier and keep track on them. 

 

I tried them the first time I installed GPU (that 16.10.3) but they crashed a few times when I was playing or overclocking, so decided to step down a bit. 16.9.2 are perfectly stable, no crash yet happened.

S!

 

 I would leave the antialiasing settings to Application controlled. At least o nthe 290X I had there was no real difference and used most of time the in-game settings. Texture Quality I would set to highest value, you do not run out of GPU power there, neither did 290X. Rest of settings seem just fine.
