So I've been pretty hyped about this driver release and AMD Crimson in general, and there is still much I want/need to explore on the technical and performance side of things.
I was a bit skeptical about Radeon Settings when I first learned about a while back before the hype as I don't have anything nice to say about GeForce Experience other than you can uninstall it and keep the basic drivers and control panel.
I do like that you can assign an AMD Overdrive profile (easier) to particular games which I do find useful in the real world, but beyond that I feel like we have gone back in time in terms of interface design. Sure it looks nice and transitions slickly, but is it faster and more useful than a drop down menu of organized controls all in one place? I really had to hunt to find things and while I appreciated some attempts at consolidation I just scratch my head at others. If I have to go to the display "tab" and then click on additional settings to launch a cut-back version of the old CCC to fine tune my display...was this really a victory for consolidation?
I might sound pretty mean here and I'm not trying to be, but I was pretty excited for this from all the emails I directly have been receiving from AMD, and I have found my time with it thus far to be overall frustrating. I feel a tweaking of the classic CCC (which by no means do I hold ideal) with some of the new features of Radeon Settings would have been much better...at the very least I wish there was a clearly defined "SWITCH TO CLASSIC CCC" mode.
I'm all for trying something new...and maybe RS will grow on me and the AMD Overdrive Game Profile menu will make it all worth it.
That all being said, I AM super pumped about Crimson!!!
