AMD working on drivers for Windows 10 preview builds

Using 15.7.1 drivers and tried enabling virtual super resolution in cc and my desktop is 2560x1440 on a 1920x1080 monitor. Even tried in a few games the higher resolution slows the game down sometimes but I enjoy the increase in quality.

My native resolution is 1920x1200, and I can use either VSRs of 2048x1536 or 2560x1600, but of course I'm going to use the latter... I've noticed that when you elect to run a game at a VSR that it's best to turn off all other FSAA settings you may have been using in the game when you weren't running a VSR, as the VSR itself is a form of supersampling FSAA--it takes an internal resolution of 2560x1600 in my case and displays it ("downsamples") @ 1920x1200. If you run a VSR & additional FSAA in a game it could well slow you down when you really don't need the extra FSAA settings beyond the VSR you are using. But it's strictly a matter of personal preference, imo.

So no one else has had a problem connecting their PC to their TV or another monitor via HDMI with these 15.7.1 drivers?

I would be SO happy with just one good high performance SATA driver from those clowns...

I haven't tried it yet. I've had my Lappy 15.6 connected, but that was with Windows 8.1. Guess I need to check that out.

Yeah, it worked in 8.1 for me too.

That's really the only issue I've had since upgrading to W10. But it's kind of annoying because I watch a lot of movies on my laptop while connected to my TV.

I'm not watching movies on my laptop or computer! I have a much nicer larger screen TV for that. :)

Before I got the DVD player with Netflix on it, I hooked the laptop to it, but now I don't need to. Still, it would be something to check out, because it's soooooooo much easier to use the keyboard to enter text with.

sad as this is, I'm getting benchmark numbers with the generic Microsoft SATA driver that are double what I get with the reco'd [and auto-installed via win updates] AMD driver du jour.
also watch your CPU util - some of them create traffic in the background. i do not know the mechanism but kill the AMD driver and it goes away.

Me too, I don't know if my MB is at fault or drivers. With old one that had exactly same south bridge, AHCI was working good but now I'm getting SATA2 speeds on new MB. I must have tried dozen drivers and only getting progressively lower speeds.
