I imagine it'll be a driver issue. Drivers are crap for AMD at the moment.
On another note: How are you cards atm. Do they have coil whine? and are they loud?
I had a 290x on release but it had the worst coil whine and was so so loud! Returned it and got a 780ti instead.

no coil whine here cards are nice got them under water so no noise from cooler either, i had a gtx 780 ti that i returned due to memory issues it would artifact thats why i went to amd for the first time, i have always been a nvidia user but was intrigued with what mantle has to offer, i am going to alternate between nvidia and amd yearly just to see what both teams bring to the table 
I had the same problem. Turning Frame Pacing off sorted it for me. Smooth as silk now!

Turning off the fix for stuttering stopped it stuttering?.........Hmmmm theres something funny about that statement but I dont see it yet
Theres a bug with frame pacing and vsync. AMD are aware but its an issue which Dice need to fix. The solution is to use frame pacing without vsync = smooth. If you want to use vsync just disable frame pacing = smooth. Up to you which way you go. Both play fine and i can't tell the difference between either setting. I play with vsync off and frame pacing on as i don't get any tearing with vsync off.
290 uses a combination of hardware and software frame pacing.

ok the game runs better when i disable crossfire anyone else seeing this?
I have noticed on the intro to the missions when using CF in stutters down to 4fps. On single card its perfect stays @30fps all the way through.

yup a no go i get better performance on 1 card tried both cards individually so must be a driver issue, i hope amd sort crossfire out for these new cards

Sounds like a PEBKAC or an issue on your system tbh.

everyone on forums with r9 290 crossfire setups have been experiencing it so not to sure about it being a PEBKAC,
my benchmarks seem to be perfectly fine

so that clears up it not being hardware
