The AMD Driver Thread

Yes, ran that and it doesn't allow me to select Freesync if I run Crossfire, but does if I disable crossfire.
Is that a limitation of the demo (which I'm guessing was released before the crossfire freesync driver)?

Word of caution, that Demo only works for Single gpu. If you have CrossFire enabled you need to disable it first to get FreeSync working.

This is why I said I'm not sure if "Crossfire Freesync" is working rather than not sure if "Freesync" is working.

You have two options, you can either disable powerplay via MSI Afterburner or you can lock the clocks using RadeonPro.

Unofficial Overclocking Mode is acting differently in Windows 10 than in Windows 7 for me. Ive been playing around with it over the past week and the 'Disabled' option isnt working the same way in Win 10 vs Win 7. Seems like my factory overclock is as far as the clocks will go even if i am overclocked much more when running 3DMark. Its a weird one which i am hoping its just a Windows 10 pre release bug or maybe MSI AB not playing well with 10.

This is while using GPU-Z for monitoring, so maybe GPU-Z isnt reading clocks right in Win 10 but i see a lower score in 3DMark which i guess cancels that out.

Its a strange one and i cant get my head around it atm lol I also noticed in Win 10 im getting a better 3DMark score with my iGPU disabled in BIOS vs having it enabled, in Win 7 there is no difference for me with this Sandybridge chip.

As you can tell, its hard for me to explain this so if i get time i'll try and do some further testing on Win 10 and see if i can manage to figure out what the hell is going on, i hope at least some of this makes some sense :)

Probably expected behaviour as it's still in Beta as is the Operating System. Our Windows 10 drivers are provided 'as is' at the moment. Once the Operating System fully launches we'll have a new Windows 10 driver ready.

Cool i was hoping it was something like this, us Win 10 Insiders will get the official Win 10 build as everyone who upgrades on the 29th, so i shall test some more when that build comes.

Using 15.7 driver on both 7 and 10 btw.

Cheers mate :)

No worries. Once the OS is launched, we'll be focusing heavily on it and fixing any bugs in our drivers.
 
Crossfire on my 290X's is working fine for the most part with the 15.7 driver. Played a bit of The Crew earlier and noticed it was running properly at 4K now at 60fps as where before I had to turn down to 1440p to play it. :D

Set FRTC in CCC to 55-95FPS and play a game that has a CrossFire profile and see if you get tearing with Vsync off.

I tried a game with an ingame FPS limiter and set it to 60fps. Didn't get tearing but it was juddery.
I did leave VSync on though as I thought that was fine and would be used if the framerate went higher than the FreeSync rate.

Tried it again with VSync off and it's both juddery and tearing.

(Guild Wars 2 has a crossfire profile right?)

Easiest way to see if FreeSync is working is, turn v-sync off in a game, set a frame-cap to say 140 in Afterburner, then if you don't see any tearing, FreeSyncs working.

No, I'm getting tearing with Crossfire enabled and if I set up a profile with Crossfire disabled.

So I guess Freesync isn't working full stop :(

Damn you AMD!!! Why can't these things just work?!
