This bug "H.264 content playback may experience playback issues on internet browsers with hardware acceleration when also running gaming applications or content." is only on 16.11.3?

Do you guys install these over the top or do a clean install everytime? With so many versions coming out one after another, it's becoming a bit too time-consuming for me.
I don't use DDU to install new driver. I would have to make my custom resolutions every single if I did DDU with CRU. Also would have to redo eyefinity setup every single time too. I only use it when I have an issue which is very very rare anymore.

It appeared in the issues list probably when 16.11.1 came out. Might be related to previous UVD clocks being kept on 3D loads, not specifically the CGN 1.0 problem some users like me have been complaining about since 16.7.2 that also affects idle.

A 6 was missing, it wasn't that hard to figure out. 😉

I suppose installing newer drivers over exsisting ones wil work ok nowadays. But if one wants to go back to previous drivers I feel DDU is necesary to avoid leftover "new" .dll files and the likes. Which could create future issues. I stick with 16.11.2 for now since I don't have any real problems and don't have the patience nor stomach to update drivers 3 or 4 times a month. I still don't understand why they can't patch current drivers with hotfixes and leave full installs for real changes in their driver versions. Is it laziness?

That means 100+ thread per day everywhere. Should i install this patch* This patch broke my System* And things like that.

I've noticed this on 16.10.3 as well. When i have a GIF playing core and memory will downclock to the point where there is lots of stuttering in-game. Granted gifs are probably not h.264 content.
I can confirm this. Didn't check GIFs, though, but it happens on normal H264 playback with HW acceleration enabled.

I always install new drivers over the older one and have never had an issue. Safe mode? DDU? not needed.
I do the same. BUT, when something doesn't look right, then I use DDU.

About the same here although in addition I do a clean install whenever there's a major jump in driver branch such as the earlier jump from xx.30.xx to xx.40.xx 🙂 (First two digits are just the year so I don't care too much about those, no idea what the other digits truly mean though.) I don't use DDU however, prefer to do it manually and clean it out that way even if it takes a bit of time. (DDU is probably one of the best tools for it though if you want to use a software for uninstalling the entire driver package and bundled extras like the CNext/CCCSlim stuff and such.)

I just run the AMD Install Manager from the Programs & Features to uninstall the drivers, then after the reboot, i just install the new ones, never had a prob.

Even thats not needed these days...if have installed the last 15 or what ever drivers over each other lol....if the driver has a known bug theres no getting around it anyway (most times)

It usually works fine, registry info gets updated and replaced as needed as does any driver files although you get some legacy files left over from very old drivers if you've done this for a long period of time. 🙂 IE you'll have a AMD core driver file in: C:\Windows\System32\drivers (Do NOT delete random AMD/ATI files just like that from here, some of these came with Windows itself and are important.) Instead of: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\c0308653.inf_amd64_3dbf29f4a4290d9d (Where the newest drivers now place it or well this particular folder is specifically for 16.11.3 and will change from driver to driver.) It (The old one.) can just be deleted though. Same with a couple of .dll files and .exe files in the System32 and SysWoW64 although while you can delete them they don't do anything so it's all harmless, can just leave them and nothing will happen. 🙂 (Bunch of older legacy video playback files, OpenCL exe files and some other stuff, one of the files also recently changed from being 64-bit to being 32-bit so you might have a older version still in System32 but again it's harmless and it's not going to interfere with anything.)

I think AMD isn't even trying to fix the stuck in UVD clock bug at all for the GCN 1.0 cards. I have to restart the driver ten times a day after browsing because the clock won't go down to idle after using the internet browser for awhile. This is frustrating to say the least.

I did some testing and I can't reproduce this on 11.2

Sure, just try this. Does it without fall on two systems I use, and on a friend's with a 280X also on W10 AU. But passenger has reported the same steps don't work on his W7 with an identical 7870 (pcb/vbios), but other situations regarding FF 3D accel and media would trigger it.
