How much Vram are you using at the res? Mantle uses substantially more Vram than DX11.

Evening All, Just installed newest driver, dissapointed to say the least. Far Cry4 is a bit of a car crash with xfire, 2 r9 290s at 4k. frames drop to 30 but If I move my view up very slightly it hits just over 60. Obviously running around is a stuttering mess, I had it running better using AFR with the older omega driver.
Gpu usage goes down to 50% each 0r 80-20 then both shoot up to 100%.
Has anyone got any ideas or should I just roll back the driver, Thanks.

Thanks tommybhoy, I'll have a read.
I won't be overclocking the cards in AB anyway as I don't want to stress my RM850 psu out too much.

Currently a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable, but no adapter.
Have same issue with DisplayPort to DisplayPort.
Tried many different cables. Some worse than others. But all do it.
Thanks and noted. That's one bug we're trying to squash at the moment.
Any particular steps you can take to reproduce it at will or is it random?
Use Vsync and triple buffering to increase the the smoothness. Disable all GameWorks features.
Our next driver should have an improved Farcry4 profile.
AMD Matt can you see about getting more frequent driver releases.
even if there is a driver out every week that would make people more happier at there purchases.
even if there small fixes here and there at least we are getting fixes faster and people get fixes for games faster instead of waiting months and months for releases.
i wouldnt mind and i know a lot of people that feel the same, we should get something like a OMEGA version every 2 months and normal beta`s every week, it just makes sence that way people get fixes and also people appreciate the hardware they bought.....

what happens?
Nothing in particular I can do to replicate. Just happens.
Okay, well it's been noted.
I wondered if perhaps it was more common when waking the pc from sleep, or perhaps the monitor.
It resorts to displayport 1.1, which means 30hz.
i suffered the 30hz a lot before upgrading my cable m8
at the time i was switching between my 295x2 and 290x 8gb
it would always happen on the 295x2 with a cheapio mini to normal displayport adaptor, once i bought a better cable or used the 290x with full size port the 30hz issue went away.

This 30hz issue you speak of I experienced with the Samsung S27D85K on CrossFireX 290X .... I used a generic displayport cable, It nearly put me off purchasing a 1440P 144hz screen.... I used the bundled BenQ DP cable and everything works as intended!!! I had just assumed the 1440p resolution was extremely taxing on the videocards but this wasn't the case!
I just also wanted to write here that I am extremely satisfied with the 15.3 driver, my 2x Sapphire 290X Tri-X OC's are now performing flawlessly, I'm currently toggling between 1 and 2 cards crossfire on/off for games that I want to use FreeSync with and others I want maximum FPS etc and it all works flawlessly!! stable as a table! I use sapphire Trixx for overclocking and disabling ULPS ... I also remove old drivers with DDU .... if anyone is wondering about a 290X vid card or 290X crossfire I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! good stuff...
/end rant.

Can't go wrong with startech cables.
i've not had that issue...
but if the monitor itself resorts to displayport 1.1 then it's either the cable or monitor. it won't be the amd drivers thats changing the displayport setting on the monitor
