AMD Radeon Software Crimson: drivers can lead to defective GPUs – PC Games Hardware

In the released and AMD’s last Drivers 30.11.2015 at 10:15 clock a critical gremlins crept. The fan speed of some Radeon graphics cards will automatically be set to a low level, so the GPUs overheat under load. User on Reddit report defective graphics cards.

Actually, should the Radeon Software Crimson a new era in AMD’s driver policy constitute, among other new features, performance enhancements and the Radeon settings as CCC release. In initial Crimson driver 15:11 but an error has crept who just mutated for AMD for PR problem. Many users report defective video cards, after the driver has been installed

Currently the situation looks like this instead:. Often, the fan speed is set at a low speed, without having had anything changed in the Radeon settings. Sometimes these are still more than 30 percent, sometimes 20, 10 or even 0 percent. Under 3D load then partly three-digit temperatures are reached, whereupon underclocks the GPU. The PC can also crash and spend however the graphics card when restarting no picture. The GPU is then literally “grilled”, protection circuits did not react earlier. Why the error occurs for some users, and in others it is not known is not.

If you’re lucky, monitors temperatures using tools like GPU-Z or Afterburner or has a lower noise level registered and noticed the error then , AMD has already confirmed the problem and promises even a hotfix during the course of today’s Monday. Who wants hitherto not uninstall the driver, should every time you restart the Radeon Settings check if the fan control is set to “Auto”. Incidentally, this is not the first time that a driver for defective graphics card provides: had Nvidia’s Geforce 320.18 a similar problem with Fermi GPUs from the GeForce 400-series
