AMD Launches Catalyst 15.7 With Windows 10 Support

[ktolo]

No mantion of a fix for the black screen when viewing jpegs issue!! I hope they fixed it, as it was a known issue and they even provided a workaround for it., this only affected APU's.. Anyone with an A-Series know what i'm talking about and care to testify?
I can't find out until i get home from work later..

They enabled full DX12 support with HD7xxx series which makes sense because cards are just like r2xx, r3xx based on same GCN architecture. In fact in device manager HD7970 are marked as r2xx series. Personally running crossfire HD7970 in crossfire since day one they were released, every game maxed 1080p, just awesome cards. My thumb of rule is don't buy the latest games because they are buggy as well. I wait a year since day of release until games is patched and drivers are top notch. Plenty of other games to play in meantime.

My HD5850 really appreciates the Windows 10 official support. However, as an HD5850 owner I will say that I would like to have HD5k/6k support dropped moving forward and to focus solely on GCN enhancements. Sincerely, pre-gcn owner.

Why is Frame Rate Target Control locked to 95 fps? Anyway to make it 144 fps?

Need someone to confirm if the FRTC (Frame Rate Targeting Control) is working on windows 7 AND a 7970?

I have a HD 7850 and windows 7 i could try it on. (dont have a 7950/70 on hand though) although i'll have to do it tomorrow..

the same since they belong to the HD 7000 family, will be waiting for the results =D

This update killed my DVI signal (R9 290, Windows 8.1).

Does anyone know whether it can be fixed - am using HDMI now . . . works fine. But was running at 144Hz through DVI.

@JohnnyDough

What exactly do you mean downloading manually? Is there another way?
Are you thinking about auto-detect?
Anyway, DLing manually worked just fine for me on Firefox.

Selecting the driver manually on the site. I don't mean clicking on the links that come up or using a an unnecessary auto-detect program. It was the same issue using IE as well. Their site is busted.

Oh that manual way...it didn't work for me on firefox. But in IE, no problem.

Maybe it is a FF issue. Of course it could be AMD fault. Luckily I have most necessary older drivers backed up on my home server anyway.
