So AMD's M395X driver works just fine under OS X, but in Windows 10 several games I play continuously get a "AMD display driver has stopped responding and has recovered." Some games work fine though, but I believe this issue to be driver related. Any idea own when we can expect an updated graphics driver?
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), AMD M395X GPU
Take a look at Re: How to run Boot Camp on External Hard Drive? .
Thanks, but I don't think that can help me, at least I didn't see how it could.
No one at ASC can give you a date. The link provides steps to replace the BC version of the AMD driver with the standard AMD driver.
So the nested link from your link had this info:
Here's how (I think) I did it:
- remove all drivers with DDU;
- unpack Catalyst Omega drivers;
- unpack latest Beta drivers;
- unpack December 2014 Bootcamp drivers;
- replace the entire contents of the Bin64 subdirectory in the Beta drivers' directory (in c:\AMD\) with the entire contents of the Bin64 subdirectory of the Omega drivers;
- replace the Installmanagerapp.exe and installmanager.dll files in the Bin64 directory of the Beta drivers with the same files from the Bin64 directory of the December 2014 bootcamp drivers;
-run setup.exe in the beta drivers unpacked directory.
I lost my catalyst control panel in the process (despite registry cleaning) but, who cares about that if crossfire no longer needs to be switched off for GTAV???
From the above, it's still unclear to me. First he states "he thinks" his instructions are correct. I also don't know what DDU is. And then there's still control panel issues after he completed his process. Not very confidence inspiring to a relatively new Mac user. But thanks for pointing it out anyway.
I have the same issue. It is not acceptable that Apple forbids us to install native AMD drivers on one hand and doesn’t release proper driver updates on the other hand.
As I can read on many forums, I am part of the people who bought the M395X for gaming and regrets it. Third parties have started packaging updated drivers and your customers are putting at risk their hardware in order to have what they payed for - a decent gaming machine to play games of the century. Common Apple, you can do better than that, please provide us support for the great hardware you are selling!
Check Apple Software Update or BC Assistant for updated drives or call Apple Technical Support/Apple Product Feedback. ASC does not have any release information.
Check out mXDriver! It's a driver mod of AMDs official Radeon Crimson driver and should run on nearly all newer AMD based Apple GPUs, the M395X including!
nah only what they say as current amd gpus so older ones like my hd 6770m are not :S
When will we get an updated M395X driver for Bootcamp?
