Warning! AMD Catalyst Windows 10 driver doesn't install Hardware acceleration(DXVA) video co

[spikengineer]

AMD Windows 10 driver delivered through Windows Update doesn't install video codec for DXVA causing H.264 videos to not play at all. DXVA will work only if you remove the driver and install the one for Windows 8.1.

The latest Windows 10 AMD driver caused my laptop to go into a light strobe frenzy ; ) ... just saying.

It's a still unreleased, beta OS. If it's whql, driver, it doesn't mean it has all the features, it's just test and passed MS to not mess windows up.

AMD lost a lot of brainpower recently and fired a huge bulk of the driver team a few years ago.

 

Their employee retention rate is not good either and the current economic client constantly brings up rumors of a Samsung buyout.

 

That being said ...  I hope they up their game and fix whatever needs fixing.

AMD drivers aren't bad just on Windows 10, they've always been bad. I haven't had big problems with it though. I'm hoping they'll have a decent driver by the time Windows 10 hits RTM, but I honestly doubt it.

I haven't had any problems with the current win10 drivers assuming I only have one GPU enabled.  Both enabled and the system eventually goes bonkers.

 

Hadn't had any problems on the win8 ones either.
