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?

So still no Freesync crossfire drivers, maybe because they are putting all their time and effort into Freesync-over-HDMI.

Great FS monitors and TVs hopefully.

Thats what am thinking

Freesync TVs would be a killer feature..

nice....

Could potentially mean even more freesync monitor choice!

Well just played Black Mesa for over an hr with Afterburner on, and the RTSS paused and closed, was fine

Indeed... Don't envy people getting the new stuff coming out...

Though I guess the single gpu people will be ok

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

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

Gerard · 4 Jun 2015 at 02:05

Gpu usage in gta 5 seems better as well, clock fluctuations are at a minimum.

phatboy · 4 Jun 2015 at 08:30

I changed something in settings on gta last night and my fps has gone through roof. Xfire is still dreadful but single card / half vsync is now spot on.

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 ?

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.

No further update from the below kevy.

AMDMatt said:
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.

jupiter_man · 4 Jun 2015 at 21:04

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

Can you post your settings Matson? I have a 7990 so i can try to mimic it myself, thanks.

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!

I'm going to be spending a lot more time at the 'Official AMD Forums' soon, so make sure you sign up & participate.

Matson · 4 Jun 2015 at 21:45

Here are my settings matt. Im getting about 5 fps less in crossfire than I am with a single card at the moment. Newest drivers.

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

thewanted · 4 Jun 2015 at 22:02

Does anyone know to stop the blood splatter flickering in Dying Light when Crossfire is enabled? I've tried disabling AA in-game but it didn't help.
