AMD Radeon R9 M370X Struggling to play games (i.e. GTA V) - bootcamp

Please see http://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-Retina-15-Mid-2015-Review.144402. 0.html .

How's the game playing now? With the recent updates to GTA 5 wreaking havok with even the High end desktop graphics, I'm wondering how you guys are doing?

No luck here, and Apple and ATI keep pointing fingers at each other. Any game shoots the temperatures up within seconds and the GPU clock starts throttling straight away.

Dear All, so is the throttling gone with new AMD drivers? Would be great to know that GPU is no more jumping to 400MHz and back...

Not resolved for me, although I haven't upgraded to El Capitan. I am on the latest drivers though (9/21/15), which came out after everyone said the El Capitan fix worked.

Maybe the newest Crimson drivers from AMD can help? See http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2015/09/21/update-amd-display-driver-under-bootc amp/ for the way to install them... Would be cool if you can try and let us know did the M370X freqs stop jumping...

Great news! I think they just updated the driver today!

Heya,

To not pressure up your graphics card, playing your GTA V at 1990×1080 with VSYNC Half might balance the System and Performance

Did you get the Graphics driver update v6.0 for BootCamp? Try it. Should work.

Regards

Man, I don't know what are you taking about.

I Play at 1920-1200 at recommended settings and have 30-40 fps.(r9m370x)

And if you have some knowledge about resolution and gpu, you will understand that if you make higher resolution, it does not give you higher fps, it will give you lower fps.

so if you telling that you play at 2880-1800 at higher settings at 60 fps on this gpu(r9m370x), you're lying.

So true

Hello Loner T,

I've been trying to boost performance on this game (GTA 5) for quite a while now, I have successfully installed the latest AMD drivers (the ones that will give the "no hardware detected" errors), following the precedures on this post, and trying a lot of different settings on both the AMD Radeon settings and GTA 5 settings, but I have gotten no improvement on frames.

Do you have any suggestions for this?

Thanks.

No improvements for me, sorry

Same here ! I had horrible performances with the same a macbook pro retina 2015 and the r9 m370x while playing games in windows 10.

The fix was the power plan settings in windows 10. I couldn't believe it (I believe the games were running on the intel Iris card instead of the m370x ?!?). Simply follow the tutorial here:

I hope this helps you, it definitely cured my worries 🙂
