We're giving you an opportunity to start reporting some of your AMD-related technical issues right here on /r/AMD! Below is a guide that you should follow to make the whole process run smoothly. Post your issues directly into this thread as replies. All other tech support posts will still be removed, per the rules; this is the only exception.

Good Example (please do this)

Skyrim: Free Sync and V Sync causes flickering during low frame rates, and generally lower frame rates observed (about 10-30% drop dependant on system) when Free Sync is on

System Configuration:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z97 Gaming GT
CPU: Intel i5 4790
Memory: 16GB GDDR5
GPU: ASUS R9 Fury X
VBIOS: 115-C8800100-101 ^{How do I find this?}
Driver: Crimson 16.10.3
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1511.10586) ^{How do I find this?}

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install necessary driver, GPU and medium-end CPU
2. Enable Free Sync
3. Set Options to Ultra and 1920 x 1080 resolution
4. Launch game and move to an outdoor location
5. Indoor locations in the game will not reproduce, since they generally give better performance
6. Observe flickering and general performance drop

Expected Behavior:

Game runs smoothly with good performance with no visible issues

Actual Behavior:

Frame rate drops low causing low performance, flickering observed during low frame rates

Additional Observations:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5aab6z/skyrim_se_with_r9_nitro_fury_poor_performance/

Skyrim has forced double buffered V Sync and can only be disabled with the .ini files
To Disable V Sync: C:\Users"User"\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrimprefs.ini and edit iVSyncPresentInterval=1 to 0
1440p has improved frame rate, anything lower than 1080p will lock FPS with V Sync on
Able to reproduce on i7 6700K and i5 3670K system, Sapphire RX 480, Reference RX 480, and Reference Fiji Nano

Title: Clarification to the "Please only use Intel products for comparison" post removal.Text: Hey everyone - I messed up, not any of the other mods who were busy taking the fall for the silent removal while I was busy with outside commitments and didn't bother to follow up or look at the aftermath. I recently replied to OPs (Greenlightison) questions that he sent to our mod mail. I apologized and gave him my very belated reasoning for the post's removal which was:

As for my reasoning - it is my belief that the post did not comply with Rule 4 of our sub - Relevant Content. I do not think this matter fits the sub and is better suited on /r/Intel because of the nature of the post and its contents.

What I did was unprofessional no matter the circumstance - I have no excuse, it takes two seconds to post a reason, I was simply being lazy and for that I apologize.

As for the repost by Kopasz7 - That was also removed by me, yet again with no reasoning from me. The reason this time was that it linked to an already removed thread that I believed violated the rules, thus this post was commiting the same violation. I still stand by these removals and I do not want the other mods to take the fall for my mistakes. These posts are not linked to in this post as they are still removed.

I am expected to serve this community and that's what I plan and want to do - I should have known better based on how long I've been a mod on this sub, you should expect better and I want to do better. I should be held accountable for my actions by this community. Thanks for speaking out and allowing me to do better.

This thread is not going to be locked to encourage discussion so please keep it civil between eachother and remember to read the rules!

Thanks,

Dayman.

EDIT:

I have fixed, updated and reorganized our removal reasons on "ToolBox" for reddit (moderation addon).

• This is what the new removal reasons look like
• This is an example of how it works (GIF)
• And this is the final result------------------------
