Maybe this is why people are getting stutter now?
Definately, was working fine for me on the night before the patch, soon as it updated stutter central, especially when using a minigun and having explosions going off it can tank fps.
gta 5 is certainly smoother for me with these new drivers on this new patch of gta 5, before the AMD drivers on the new patch, it was awful, although it is very inconsistent but my frame time seems to be pretty much locked to 15/16ms and I have even seen it hover around 12/13ms 
Hopefully R* sort the performance on their end now....

Hmm, mixed bag here.
Got a boost of about 500 points in firestrike from my previous 15.5 drivers and the smoothness of FreeSync was very noticable finally with my 295x2. Was very excited to start up The Witcher 3 then as previously I'd had to run a custom profile to disable xfire.
Unfortunately it's still not really playable in xfire, I have the temporal AA turned off in the ini file and with AA turned on in the game I get a constant juddering of everything. Turn off AA and the juddering goes away and fps jumps by about 20 to ~100. However the jaggies without AA are horrible and there's something else not right as even at a reported 100fps it's stuttering loads, not smooth at all (with v-sync Off and FreeSync On) and the cores clocks on both gpu cores are fluctuating by about 100MHz but I'm not close to the throttling temps, only about 65c. Looks like it's back to single gpu for this one
Try using this with the Witcher 3 and no AA.

You should be able to improve it. And it has a read me with instruction for tweaking the FXAA, SMAA etc. I know people who've been using AA via this rather than via the game itself to reduce the performance hit, It might help your situation too.

Try using a higher resolution than 1080p?
All these tests show is the FuryX is not currently optimised for that res.

For anybody interested in a straight up comparison of Win 7 vs Win 10 with the 15.7 drivers, heres my 7950 setup..
Win 7 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7691042? 7702
Win 10 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7690843? 7864
Win 7 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7691042? 7702
Win 10 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7690843? 7864
Probs the patch, as most of the other games I have tried have used less VRAM.

No VSR Option on CCC 15.7 Drivers ( 3x R9 290x's )
Win 8.1 Pro 64 Bit
Dell U3011 (DP) 2560 x 1600 (1)
Dell 2408WFP (Digital) 1920 x 1200 (2)
I uninstalled old drivers using Amd Cleanup Utility 1.2.1.0
Then a fresh install of 15.7 drivers with no issues.
I have re-installed the drivers 3 times and still no option of VSR in DFP Properties.
Is this a problem my end or something else???

Gregster damn Fury X is not much faster than overclocked 290X we are talking only 3 FPS Gain O-O I ran my at 1120/6000 as its my daily max stable clock...
Starting to consider Xfire over upgrade now....
But we have to see once voltage gets unlocked what those cards can really do.

Yeah its a strange one, i think the Drivers on the WDDM 1.0 architecture has hit the limits with Fiji, i think AMD Driver latency on WDDM 1.0 is too high and its cutting the legs off fiji, it just can't get going properly.
I would be interested to see Windows 8.1 - 10 comparisons, i think WDDM 2.0 on Windows 10 would unlock more of its potential performance.

The release notes don't list any VSR options for a screen running 2560x1600 (nearest is 2560x1440). Do you get any VSR options for the 1920x1200 screen as this should have some? If not, what happens if you set this as your main screen, or disable the 30" beast and see if you get any options with "just" the 24" one running?
You can enable VSR using a VSR tool as detailed on Guru3D:

- Southampton, hopefully not too hot, or too cold
15.7 is the first official AMD driver for some months where this tool does not work.
humbug ye cause looking at this there is like no sensible gain in minimum fps all we get is maximum gain and not much of it !!!
As I will be upgrading Purely for VR helmet and 3D gaming this got me thinking..... Now I'm interested how much does 980TI score...

Yeah the VSR Option did appear with just my 24" connected...I didn`t read the release notes though, only what AMDMatt posted in the forums.
I just thought It would work as my main resolution 2560 x 1600 was in the VSR list that AmdMatt posted....Will this Res be added later in the next driver update??

VSR has appeared in CCC for me now on Windows 10 after a couple of reboots, wasnt there after the initial reboot from installing the drivers.

Reverted to windows 8.1 a few days ago and it all seems fine so far, no artifacts and solid stability.
