    Looks like Enduro is so bad, AMD will have to do game specific profiles. I really hate Enduro.

    http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/catalyst_application_profiles/amd_catalyst_13.4_cap1.exe

    AMD Enduro Technology profile updates:
    • Alien Colonial Marines – acm.exe
    • BioShock Infinite – BioShockInfinite.exe
    • Crysis 3 – Crysis3.exe
    • GodMode – GodMode.exe
    • Grid 2 – grid2.exe
    • Hawken – HawkenLauncher.exe
    • Neverwinter – gameclient.exe
    • SimCity – SimCity.exe
    • Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army – NZA.exe
    • The Walking Dead Survival Instinct – WalkingDead.exe
    • Tomb Raider – TombRaider.exe
    • Kapersky Anti-virus - avt.exe

    Then it seems our fears are materializing. I wonder if these games have some common denominator that calls for tuning, or if every single game has to be optimized for Enduro. What ever the case is, I hope they'll continue to update the new and older titles regularly.

    I can't see the "news" here. Every new game is optimized by both manufacturers after it's released. Also Nvidia does similar profile updates for optimus but it's handled separately from driver updates.

    Wow, this is the first time Enduro profiles are included in Caps and it isn't news. OK, whatever. Also amused both people who don't find this to be news don't have Enduro.


    That's not the point. Think beyond this for a little while? It means that Enduro doesn't just work automatically as it is advertised. It might mean like Cross-Fire users, mobile users will have to wait for a separate CAP for specific games. It also means there is a real issue with Enduro not utilizing properly, unless AMD releases profiles? That sucks, a lot.

    Well, I'm running 13.5 Beta 2 so I wouldn't be able to install them anyways. Like I said, Nvidia cards also require optimus profiles to work "automatically" for end users.

    while it surely isnt optimal, amd just goes the same way as nvidia does with optimus, so nothing too shocking there.

    but sure, still happy i dont have switchable graphics :cool:

    well, after some googling they can be added on top of 13.5 b2 and would thus give the most up to date driver so far. However, I don't know if they'll work perfect - the users that reported that they work together were all using desktop gpus.

    You are really getting on my nerves with your know-it-all, counter every post attitude, even though you don't have good knowledge on this issue. Are you related to hulawafu?
