with linux becoming better at being a platform for gaming with Steam Proton getting better, and the Steam OS 3 desktop project, there should be more life left for this beast, yes? I have a r9 390 sapphire nitro. i'm just not willing to put it on a shelf, or in a storage tote yet as a test gpu.
Yes those GPUs were big at their time, so for 1080p they mainly crumple if the game is a state-of-the-art FPS/3D game (it runs the more basic games without caring on 1080p). In anything the MAIN problem I have with it is that it burns more power than a cheap small card of today with similar total performance.
Nice work bro
In my opinion the custom driver is there to help with game compatibility and that's that. But even in your test some games that worked with legacy drivers just won't run properly so it's really experimental. If you just use your PC for gaming and don't want to fuss with drivers, stick to newer cards that still have official support.
I fully agree with you. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Hello Yam, Do you think is better nowadays to use newer drivers rather than old drivers, specially on old gpu?
Cause I have a Nvidia Gtx 1060 6gb from EVGA, and I'm having such a hard time playing games, and latencyMon this software that measure the dpc/isr latency shows that the Nvidia driver has tons of latency. For this reason is it better to use a nvidia driver that was release with my gtx 1060? for example 2016-2017 year?
cheers.
Nice rest bro, thanks
isn't there a more recent version of nimez or is this the best one for thr r9 200 series?
I tried the latest one (23.11.1). From my testing, I can't it's really worth it, unless if you are facing issues with the official legacy drivers
Will the legacy drivers work on windows 11?
Yes, my testing PC has Windows 11 installed
Can't say i will use modded drivers on my rx 590gme
I'd keep to the official drivers on the RX 590.
@@ProYamYamPC but the rx590 is still getting driver updates and has access to the 24.x.x drivers so no need for moded drivers unless you need fsr 3 scaling or to enable rebar/SAM on this gpu with a newer intel/amd system paired with it.
@@ProYamYamPC I have a quesyion and please answer me cause I really need feedback. Are modded drivers worth on my r9 380? I mainly play competetive fps games and I really need some more fps from this gpu
now overclock the gpu as well
Fortnite, probably anti cheat.

I was searching for web and i think they deleted It, cannot find It, sounds bad for AMD cards and players...
