So I'm setting up a new rig for my oldest daughter, she bought herself an Oculus Rift (Lucky ass!) Not like I haven't been wanting VR since it was a pipe dream! lol.
Anyway so she needs a new rig to power her new toy, she's running on an I7-3770, 8gigs of ram, a 500gb SSD and a GeForce 570Ti. It's served her well so far however it's not good enough.
So anyway I'm setting her up with an HP Z620 workstation, powered by a Xeon E5-2520 6 core, 16gigs of RDDR3, another 500 gig SSD and an RX 570.
So this is a fresh Win10 Pro install right? I get it home and it's fully updated and go to install the most recent Radeon drivers. I download 18.21.x, the installer routine completes fine, I reboot only to find a Code 43 in Device Manager.
What the hell.
I won't bore you with the details because chances are in your found my site you've already tried numerous things on the Googles.
I installed the atikmdag-patcher.. originally intended to remove the resolution and refresh limitations from older Crimson drivers. Located here: atikmdag-patcher
I don't know why.
I don't understand how.
It makes zero sense to me but This. Shit. Worked.
Ran this .exe, it says it patched a few things and a reboot later and BOOM! Windows is happy.. 3DMARK11 is happy... I'm happy.
