Still waiting for VSR support on Beema laptops. I think the iGPU is GCN, but still, I don't think AMD is all that interested in providing support for that.

I installed this a few times and it has all sorts of issues. I rolled back to the 7/18 drivers.

With what model GPU and OS?

Running fine for me with a 7950 and now an RX480.

Have they ever added back the desktop color control options or presets? They seem to have been completely removed post 16.3.2.

There are windows display color settings built in that are used now.

There are also options in

Crimson -> Preferences -> Radeon Additional Settings

My Digital Flat-Panels -> Display Color

The thing is the Window's display setup is woefully lacking when compared to what was in older versions of CCC/Crimson

There are also options in

Crimson -> Preferences -> Radeon Additional Settings

My Digital Flat-Panels -> Display Color

Last time I checked this didn't have a slider for gamma, unless they've added it recently.

Turns out...after the upgrade/s and downgrades my drivers were all jacked up causing all kinds of issues no matter what version I used. I had to do a SSD restore to before that so just got it back up. The 7/18 ones are stable now, not going to risk installing the new ones until the next batch..

Win7-64bit, 290x

AMD has a clean driver removal tool. No need to roll the whole drive back.

I've never had a problem with new drivers, I've always downloaded the new driver package did a clean uninstall of the old ones, reboot machine and install new drivers. The last few driver updates I just let Crimson do it for me and I've never had issues.

I'm running them now with no issues. My issue ended up being memory timings that suddenly decided they didn't want to work anymore.

On that note though, I never do a clean install of the drivers on an update and haven't had issues. I did do a clean install multiple times during the troubleshooting.
