You have to force it on the executable via the CP and set AFR and frame pacing. It results in flickering nebulae but at least it works.

Ah, thanks.
May wait then, cause the game doesn't really need it....
Yer, not sure what is what and if this is more cpu demanding like RTS style games but it purrs along at well over 140 frames in SLI and a 3930K @ 4.4 for me with maxed settings @ 1440P.
Agreed. As much as when it works, it's great, it's just so much pain compared to a single card.
Not brought any newly released games lately but have noticed there has not been a driver release despite games releasing all this month and over Christmas?
How have new games been playing for everyone? I'm a little worried as I switch from nvidia to try AMD and whilst I've encountered no major problems I have yet to play a game on release with my 290. With GTA V round the corner I was hoping BETA drivers would come along quite often to keep games running nice.

Just did a fresh install of the w10 preview. Same problem with DPC latency, so I think I can rule out software issues. It's either driver or hardware at this point. If the former, I'm buggered because it doesn't seem to be a big enough issue since the April drivers fixed it for most people. Driver teams have bigger fish to fry it seems. If the latter, I'm equally buggered.
We're still trying to reproduce it Dev, but until we can we cannot fix it.
Glad to hear it's still being worked on. If there's any info I can provide to help reproduce it, please let me know.
Other people having the same issue, if it helps find something in common:

From what I can tell, it isn't specific to one brand of card or motherboard, so it is very odd indeed and I can imagine the trouble in finding the issue when there doesn't seem to be a clear unifying cause.
All I know is the problem disappears entirely when I disable my 2nd monitor. disabling vsync helps, but DPC latency is still high and introduces stutter, so disabling any non-eyefinity displays is the best way to go.
Thanks Dev, very useful and I'll pass those links on.
I've already taken a few specific reports (including yours) but every time we've tried to repro it on similar systems everything has worked normally. We'll keep trying. If anyone else is suffering from this, please feel free to drop me a trust.

Dirty, dirty children 
Nah I tried using all permutations of DP, DVI, and HDMI in dual monitor configs with 3 different monitors so I'm fairly sure connector type isn't the issue.
I'm certainly flummoxed. I wish I had another xfire board to try the cards out with. I think if it isn't a driver issue then it has to be a somewhat uncommon card fault. But why would the problem disappear when I disable my other screen if that were the case?
I use latencymon to measure DPC latency, and what I don't quite get is why is dgxkrnl.sys having such high latency in mantle titles like DA:I

Copy and pasting this because it didn't get answered and don't want it to get buried. AMDmatt does AMD release drivers for new releases?

Ergh, know I said I would be re-installing, but in reality I don't have the time for that for a while...
Early yesterday, BF4 running wonderfully, then in evening started getting crashes, now pretty much within seconds always getting this:

Unstable system, kill all overclocks.
My 290 is really really driving me mad now.
Fan is running ridiculously fast for no reason, everything is telling me its at 20% fan speed which is clearly isnt. Adjusting the fan speed or custom fan curve does nothing, fan still does its own thing
Have you tried another BIOS?
