D2ultima Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 same boat i'm in, yea the benefits of having a pc are diminished by not having the ability to push the boundaries.Even without "pushing boundaries", the problem is "lack of control". Everything being locked down is for people who want to pay for Macs. Our QA and QS doesn't come close to the shit we get with a Mac, but our prices are still high as shit and our support is half-assed and half of these retailers don't know what the hell is going on with their own machines.We pay for top end hardware, we demand control of it.

octiceps Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Driver 352.84 is MS352_08-29, DriverVer = 05/10/2015, 9.18.13.5284Sorry missed it. It's in a different scheme than what I'm used to (rXXX). Hopefully the W10 TP driver branch is still behind r346 in terms of that clockblock stuff otherwise we are in a world of pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxjzm Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 "Trivial feature""There was a bug introduced into our drivers which enabled some systems to overclock"Sure...I don't know who they want to fool, PC is not a console to lock every single feature.AMD what are you doing? take advantage of this and be more competitive.It's a shame that we don't have many choices for graphic cards :/And im here, waiting for The Witcher 3 i just bought. Hoping that my GTX 870M will be enough, and then this happened... gg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saccente719 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Even though that statement was made, wouldn't a modified vBios just override all of that any how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I am glad they made the move to ignore the lock-bit once again (until now only 347.88-92 ignored it).Hope this gets merged into the next WHQL release and we won't see this block ever again.

Exostenza Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Seems the 353.00 drivers have made things A-OK fir us! (Sorry for the useless post as I am trying to get 5 posts so I can download a modded BIOS for my GTX 980m) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
