Tahiti won't get VSR, it doesn't have the required silicon AFAIK.

You can already get VSR on older 7000 series Tahiti cards. There's a hack available which you just run and adds permanent extra resolutions.

Is this delayed driver going have VSR support for the 280/280X?

We’re working on expanding VSR support so that more AMD users can take advantage of this popular feature. Once it’s ready we’ll be sure to let our customers know. Stay tuned!

Had a very quick play last night, and Crossfire seemed to be working fine for me. What settings were you running the game at mate? Just wondering if there's one setting that may be scuppering performance. I listed what I was running in the Pcars bench thread that popped up:

I was running max settings apart from AA where I was using FXAA instead and the detailed grass setting which I had set to off.

Can confirm this works like a charm on tahiti.

I've started getting this rubbish again in GTA5. It's been running great for over week and then just started up again. I cant replicate it Heaven or anything so i'm still none the wiser as to whether it's a driver thing or i need to RMA one of my 280x's. :mad:

LtMatt · 7 May 2015 at 11:58

What gpu/s are you using Goose?

Matt is helping me with this just now. I'll keep you updated.

280X's by the look of it.

My issues in GTAV and BF4 have gone with Crossfire, I did a complete reformat, but I simply cannot play with both cards now after using Freesync on one 290x. Hoping for crossfire driver soon

This.. Hoping it's not to long of a wait now.

Ayahuasca · 7 May 2015 at 12:51

Lets hope that crossfire freesync is the same as single card as well, nVidia have some issues with SLI and gsync and I can only guess that this is the reason AMD have delayed their driver for it as well.

Geeman1979 · 7 May 2015 at 12:56

What issues do they have?

Ayahuasca · 7 May 2015 at 12:57

Quite a few people have reported microstutter.

Geeman is correct.

I also get low GPU utilization and pretty bad stutter in GTA5. CPU is a [email protected]

Both use different tech on a archiving the same goal. What happens with Gsync don't mean the same will happen for FreeSync.

Vice versa.

Good guess though

Is there anything later than 15.4's yet? At work and it won't let me on the AMD site... Dying Light fixed in CF yet?

Ayahuasca · 7 May 2015 at 13:20

Well something is clearly causing the delay and I doubt it's because it's not working at all. What would your guess be for the delay then?

Dying Light was patched the other day users reporting massive gains using crossfire.

They is a Windows 10 driver out Modded to work on Windows 8.1 that is again showing reports of gains across the board.

More testing, across multi system configs.. like they said more Q&A needed..

Ayahuasca · 7 May 2015 at 13:36

Matt's post seemed to suggest they weren't happy with how it currently worked and for me that leaves only a few possibilities on what the issues are. Like I said I hope they can get crossfire freesync working as well as single card but I'm expecting issues even when the driver is released for certain users.
