can someone explain this line please
AMD FreeSync and AMD CrossFire™ Support:
AMD FreeSync and AMD CrossFire™ can now be used together in applications using DirectX® 10 or higher. Please note, this feature is currently not supported on systems configured in AMD Dual Graphics mode.
to me this reads as, you can use freesync on crossfire setups, but its currently not supported with dual graphic cards, ie crossfire lol...am I just having a brain fart moment here lol.

Brain fart.
Dual Graphics = APU + DGPU.
Been using FreeSync at 4K in QuadFire for a while now.
Finally we got these 200 branch drivers officiall released (15.200.1046.0).
Everything is working flawlessy here. 3dmark API tests show that these have all overhead optimisations onboard.

There not gimped at all.. The 390 etc has much better power efficiency and performance its just faster than a 290..
You didn't really think after all the tweaking on the 300 series it was just going to perform same has 200 series did you?

Well that was great, what a **** on ive just had.
Uninstalled old drivers, but when the screen goes black while uninstalling, mine didn't come back on, kept saying 'No Signal Detected', so i didn't know when the drivers were off, so i waited about 5 minutes to make sure, before hard restarting.
Had to do a Start Windows Normally (due to hard restarting), and then had to run the Cat Uninstaller again to remove it, before restarting again, and installing these.
Never had that before, ever, but im on a new monitor now via DP (was on DL-DVI before), so is that the problem, and am i going to have to dig out my old screen, and rig it back up everytime i want to pop new drivers on, or just carry on doing what ive just done ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but according to the notes, 4K VSR isn't supported by the 280X's?
All cards are on same line now.

This driver seems to have also improved my temperatures on my cards compared to the drivers through WU on Win10.
Both cards were reaching 75C and are now only reaching 69C and 71C respectively. VRM1 on the second card was reaching 95 and now seems to max out at about 88C, very pleased with these drivers.

What tweaking? faster memory and small OC.
Tests have confirmed an 390x clocked at 290x speed is the same performance.
They are the same chip and perform identically clock for clock. This has been proven by Hardocp, among others. This has also been proven by people using hacked 390-series drivers with their 290-cards, gaining performance.

That's right. 4K VSR was previously available only to the R9 285 and now they've added Fury too. I guess it's a hardware thing as the 290/290X can't do it.

Do you happen to have igpu enabled do you? When I have had that in the past, it'd because when I removed drivers, the display would switch over to igpu.

thanks Matt...
Anyone else that play Ark Survival here? I'm now getting flickering textures on the trees and vegetation, not using crossfire as the game does not support it. Was like it on previous set.
