See AMD's release notes for driver improvements, fixes and compatibility enhancements. Change log- New method of overcoming the installer block makes for a much more stable installation procedure going forward.
Big thanks to our newly-elected moderator, aurorawright, and their friend, TuxSH for their findings! - 'EnableFalcon = true' no longer does anything thanks to the findings, so this is no longer added to the installer configuration.
- 'Read Me First' file updated.
- DDU updated to the latest version.

I've just discovered this after upgrading my mac from a 2014 to 2015 with m370x. I had a terrible experience with bootcamp gaming before but seems to be a bit better now. I'm just wondering if these drivers are a significant update from the latest bootcamp drivers on offer? I've heard these drivers make the card run really hot and can damage the laptop, is this true? Just looking for peoples opinions, this is my work laptop so dont want to mess it up, but i do enjoy the occasional game while travelling (i.e the division)
Also i am getting an error on the installation, everything installs fine except the display driver according to the logs. I've tried manually installing via device manager and still get the same "a service installation section in this INF is invalid" error

make sure you are running windows 10 anniversary edition before installing. so ensure everything is up to date on your system and you will be fine.

Thank you for the tip, I will rerun windows update to get any new updates. edit: Thanks again, seems like that was it. I had done all the updates except the big anniversary update! |

As answer to your previous questions....

Yes. Better performance, and much better compatibility for new game releases.
I've heard these drivers make the card run really hot and can damage the laptop, is this true?
If you overclock the card then yes the card can run hot. This can cause long-term damage to the card if you don't know what you are doing.
Otherwise if you do not overclock you may find that thanks to the newer optimizations that the card on its default setting runs slightly cooler.

Looking forward to finally giving them a shot tonight. |
