Dirt 4

Known Issues:
Dirt 4 : Poor performance may be experienced in some configurations

Cheers Matt, will give them a try. Any improvements on the v-sync issues?

Plus Dirt 4 Crossfire profile already for a game that I cant even find a release date for, that's ahead of the game isn't it?

What were the Vsync issues Kanoe?

Ever since Omega turning on v-sync introduces massive sub system latency that causes game stutter and severe audio stuttering. All issues immediately stop by turning v-sync off. We had some discussion on OCUK forum a while back about this (same forum name as here) and I sent you some files but never heard since.

Thanks, we're still investigating this issue. I'm going to send you a private message so i can collect your details, doing so will likely job my recollection of your email address.

No problem at all, hope you enjoy it and GTA V.

Dirt 4 is pretty much the one game that Codies didn't cancel with their lay offs, so I presume the performance in beta testing was so bad AMD needed to get out a fix asap, even if the game hasn't been announced yet :/

Either that or AMD typo'd in about 20 press releases/forum posts.

Downloading now and lets see how i get on with GTA. Looks like only crossfire profiles for it.

Hope it doesn't crash as much as it did last night.

Please let me know how you get on.

Matt, sent you a PM with some links to files. Cheers

New driver installed but game keeps crashing when graphics are set to high. Even though my GPU has 2GB, and the game is only using 1.7GB it doesn't like it. Been a real pain in the butt. I have had to settle with reduced graphic settings to play the game.

Pushing my CPU to the limit too.

Worth it though.

Replied, thanks.

I'm not 100% sure the in game video memory measurement is entirely accurate to be honest, hopefully this will get addressed in a future game update from Rockstar.

Great game though, isn't it?

Update For AMD Freesync & Crossfire Support

AMD fans have been outspoken about their love for the smooth gameplay of AMD FreeSync™ technology, and have understandably been excited about the prospect of using compatible monitors with the incredible performance of an AMD CrossFire™ configuration.

After vigorous QA testing, however, it’s now clear to us that support for AMD FreeSync™ monitors on a multi-GPU system is not quite ready for release.

As it is our ultimate goal to give AMD customers an ideal experience when using our products, we must announce a delay of the AMD Catalyst™ driver that would offer this support. We will continue to develop and test this solution in accordance with our stringent quality standards, and we will provide another update when it is ready for release
