AMD DOES IT AGAIN

Reports say that the new AMD driver 16.9.1 released yesterday is massively increasing FPS in old and new cards for Doom and many other games up to 40 fps.

Oh boy I can't wait to play new trash but with better frame rates.

Anything worth playing doesn't require a rig made past 2005. Prove me wrong.

I'd rather have game devs making better optimized games but whatever, this is still good. Thanks for the heads up, I still have 1673 for some reason

The only reason people defend AMD here is because they don't want to live in a world where jewvidia are the only company on the block. That, and AMD isn't totally fucking shit as it currently stands (they funded/initiated Vulkan, for example). Basically, what I am saying is, don't try and perpetuate the idea that we ought to be fanboys for one side or the other. You don't think if it were the other way around and AMD were pulling shady shit like Nvidia does that we wouldn't call them out on it?

Anyway, great, a new software update. I just updated a day ago after the system tray icon wouldn't shut the fuck up about how I need to upgrade my drivers.

Damn, that must be a really shitty card if it cant push 200+ fps in possibly the most ported and optimized engine, for a 23 year old game

I don't give a fuck what brand my GPU is, I just want it to work decently. Which my current one does.

ikr, this is a weird thread

Cool, I was planning on buying a rx 480

What happened to that socket frying issue?

Agreeing on this. One moment a conpany can be the messiah, the next moment they can be the anti-christ. In the end, they're fucking companies.

except fucking Facebook. Anything they touch is turns into cancer to the public

I really don't understand why drivers have such a tendency to fluxuate the performance of hardware. To they hire nothing but Pajeet programmers on slave wages or something?
