I was never able to flash another bios on the reference 290X 8GB cards. It was either me doing something wrong, or Sapphire locked both bios. It's more likely the former, but when i tried i wasn't able to flash.

Damn, was going to try the sapphire vapor-x 8GB onto it but wont bother then.
is there any benefit from using the uber mode when watercooled?

Whatever amendments / updates were made for 15.5 its made monster difference in Assetto Corsa too.

Haven't played for a while n as I couldn't sleep thought I would :D

Can now run ultra settings silky smooth in xfire with no glitching at all :)

hope it wont be too long before we get an updated witcher 3 profile. It gets good scaling with AA turned off but the flickering destroys it for me.

Sooooo.... Matt any word on Witcher 3 flickering bug, is this being looked into now, should be in next driver release or is that an issue with cd projeck ?

No further update from the below kevy.

We're working with the developer to resolve that, Matson. Most likely to be fixed in a future game update, or perhaps a future Catalyst driver. :)

Any idea why project cars isn't working in crossfire for me? Its working for others but im getting negative scaling when I use it which is a shame as it bogs down to about 40-45fps when it starts raining for me. Iv hardly touched the game since release because of this.

Hi Matt, do you have any idea about this GTA5 issue?


I have been playing for a week with most highest setting and didnt use MSAA due to artifacts.
Then last night I was a bit bored so I played with setting and try to set MSAA x 4
Then it crash to desktop straightaway and from that time I cant play the game anymore.
When it is loading to the storymode for 10 seconds then crush to desktop saying gta5.exe not responding etc

I can only get into the game from safe mode, I dont know what to do...

My hardware / driver shouldnt be a problem because I was able to play it

I've seen GTA V game files corrupt before, so my recommendation would be to Verify Local Cache Files on steam to see if something got corrupted!

It should be noted I had SMAA to ultra and vsync off earlier too when I was also getting negative scaling.
