Got it sorted out. It ended up being the administrator privileges settings were screwed up and had to be forced through an elevated command prompt. Once that was done the new files were able to be written and the installation functioned as normal.
No antivirus here other than the built in stuff from microsoft.
DDU hasn't been able to remove the folders. There's a multitude of errors that come up while looking at the log. They all pertain to the remnants of the AMD folder.
Hmm... I tried the first two already with no effect. Figured I...
22.11.2 is the latest driver for a vega based card and is compatable with LTSB build 1809. I tried installed the drivers/adrenalin that I had been using (Version 20.1.4) and that install fails and brings up the same errors. The driver isn't the problem, it's the adrenalin software itself that's...
Solution, Windows issue... Got it sorted out. It ended up being the administrator privileges settings were screwed up and had to be forced through an elevated command prompt. Once that was done the new files were able to be written and the installation functioned as normal.
As the title states...
That's why I'm confused. It's stuttering less because of the extra vram and no crossfire, but the average and peak fps is noticeably lower.
Currently the machine is running the 20.2.1 drivers. Did you see a difference between the two?
It seemed pretty clear from the first few posts. For all the people wondering, the original question was why my Vega FE was performing WORSE than my trifire 7950's. This occurs in in ALL games.
I know my cpus are old. Yet if they are truly 100% bottlenecking the card, during gaming wouldn't...
It's getting better every time but there's no way it'll be able to touch Sabrewulf's overclock. It's not stable above 1680Mhz. Who knows, maybe a little more tweeking would help.

Maybe it's luck, but more likely it's the fridged climate we have here. :D
Just pushed the hbm to 1100Mhz and scored 7447. Looks like I might be able to go higher even.

Honestly it looks like my CPU isn't bottlenecking the GPU in any significant way. The fps...
You're spot on with that statement. The pro drivers are incredibly limiting, and while they work well for professional applications I just couldn't deal with the lack of fan curves. The registry workaround was a fantastic find, since it was so complicated to screw around with the drivers before...
The link is at the bottom of my response to noko. Here it is again.

Changed the power settings but otherwise same settings for the core and ram as the last run.

I just checked the bios, everything looks alright and is running at stock settings with no throttling or power limit set. Radeon chill isn't enabled either.
Yes, DDU was used and cleared out the old drivers before adrenalin 2020 installed. My fan curve is pretty aggressive with the GPU hitting...
Ah, I've been out of the tech loop for a couple years so I hadn't heard if there's some new driver issues. Most of the problems with the FE cards surround getting the gaming driver to install. There are workarounds, it's just that you don't get the switchable driver feature that AMD advertised.
It's sitting at right around 1600Mhz on the core, 1125Mhz on the RAM and about 75C at full load.
This was a fresh install of windows, the 7950's were never installed under windows 10. I DDU'ed the drivers the other night when when I installed adrenalin 2020 as well with barely any change...
