With 17.8.1 and 17.8.2 I lose at least 20-25 FPS on average in PUBG with my RX 570 compared to the pre-Vega drivers. Only thing they fix for me is MSI Afterburner. Staying on 17.6.2 for now.

idk the whole day one release of a miner oriented driver for the Vega64 REALLY turned me off AMD and ive used their stuff 95% of the time since 2007, really the icing on the cake is no Win8.1 support, some of us just dont want 10 and it doesnt make sense that AMD supports 7 still and not 8.1.

@phenomiix6 did you mean 17.7.2 or did you really mean 17.6.2 just curious if I can gain some fps in pugb if I revert back to 17.6.2 instead of 17.7.2?

@DEREKA_C: but you might get the same FPS with either driver, I can't really tell - I didn't even test games with 17.7.2 when I saw that Afterburner wasn't working anymore (it runs but is unable to change clocks and voltages).

IMHO W10 is (and has been at least since AU) a straight improvement over 8.1 on anything but a touch-focused device like a tablet. Even on a tablet W10 is still better *overall* with Tablet mode and CU. I can almost understand Windows 98, I mean XP, I mean Windows 7 diehards. But running 8.x for a gaming machine, don't be shocked if it isn't well supported in the coming years. AMD wouldn't have dropped support if there was a substantial userbase on 8.1 running their latest GPUs.
