Do NOT install the new 4644 driver - Includes a FIRMWARE update

This is a total disaster of a release. Does anything really get QA'd before releasing it?

 

My Bifrost A770 continuously ramps up and down the fan, I have ZERO control of it other that the lights.

 

Davinci Resolve freezes on export at the 71% mark then continues to finish. A clip that rendered off in 18 sec, now takes 24 sec.

 

My third monitor has stopped working.

 

I am severely pissed about the fact that I couldn't opt out of the FIRMWARE update. I only wanted a driver update. Is anyone at Intel going to buy me a new functioning card since the firmware ruined it and I can't work anymore?

 

Irresponsible.

Just like everything else, it all fails. Generate Report says "Could not create bug report."

 

Want to use "Report a Bug or Issue"? Nope. Fill out the form and get an error.

 

I'll be moving back to my Nvidia cards. Good luck to you all.

Why aren't drivers on the support page from before September?

Ok I fixed it.

 

Deleting EVERYTHING in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\PredatorBifrost, not just the Settings.json file, did the trick.

 

Not happy I spent 2 hours finding the solution.

Well. 4 weeks after I reported this, I see a new update. I wasn't going to even try it after reading all the new issues, but changed my mind because misery loves company. 

 

I have the Acer Bifrost A770 16GB. I am happy to report that I have full control of my fans through the Predator Bifrost App again. Brought it back to 20% and runs at 1000 rpm again.

 

All monitors work

 

Davinci Resolve runs 100% again

 

Thank you for your efforts, team.

My card partially died yesterday. The fans and LEDs malfunctioned and the GPU overheated. Task manager said it was at 95C when I manually shut the system down. It still output video after rebooting, but it cannot cool itself. Warranty support claim created. My backup EVGA GTX 970 has a purpose again. 🤦
