I keep getting random TDR's when watching youtube. Everything is normal, temps are good and clocking fine.

Still no Crossfire support with 14.11.2 for FC4 and AFR gives massive flickering, SERIOUSLY!!

There is a Crossfire profile in the drivers, but it's been disabled for now while we work with Ubisoft to fix the issues. This will be rectified in a future driver update. This could actually be fixed by a future game patch, so it's not always a case of blame it on the drivers.

any news on that DICE fix for mantle in BF4 Matt? Can't see it in the latest patch notes. Kinda annoying as i bought my 290 specifically for BF4 and Mantle, after my 7970s weren't properly supported... :(
 
Thanks Matt. Have you heard if there are any profiles in the pipeline for Elite: Dangerous?

No idea, will try and find out.

Hi Matt is CrossFire for GCN 1.0 (7950) working now for COD:AW?

As far as i know, yes.

any idea when we can expect a fix for that vsync issue?

Still under investigation at the moment.

Nothing yet as far as i know Dave, sorry.
 
Well thats annoying. I can imagine there'll be one more patch before DICE/EA call in a day...will they fix it before the game goes EOL??
 
Getting higher gpu usage and can run higher settings in COD:AW than previous drivers and still get solid 90FPS but still not as smooth as running one card at lower settings.

Keep up the good work :)
