What drivers are you using? I'm not opposed to testing older drivers especially on older cards.Sounds weird. I haven't tried 1.8.1 yet as I'm not a patreon supporter, but on 1.8.0b it runs smooth as hell on an 650 Ti.
I also just got done testing the GT 1030 and using 1080p graphics pack doesn't drop performance like it did for the GTX 660. On the 1030 GPU usages does go up with the 1080p graphics pack but it tends to stay closer to 80% and fps doesn't drop compared to 720p(no graphics pack).
Alright Polaris time.
Edit: Actually it's not just me it seems. A guy on the discord reported being able to run 4k fine on his 1050 ti in 1.8.0 but having to drop to 2k on 1.8.1. So it seems maybe the new release is just harder on the gpu then previous versions.
Edit 2:
Regretfully the bug still exists. MK8 just freezes on the splash screen with recent drivers. Nvidia users can actually induce similar behavior by running the latest version of rivatuner and using the OSD. Not sure if that's any kind of clue to whats wrong or even if it is if there is anyone who will fix the behavior. What we need is a legit pc game that does something similar to report to AMD.And does Mario Kart 8 now work properly on AMD's RX series cards?
