Frame pacing is a must with crossfire though.

True, I'm using 2x7850 and with these features off it was much better than the 20fps frame drops but the microstutter isn't pretty.

Fortunately applying vsync smoothed it out again (but of course this is no good in games which suffer major input lag with vsync on) - I would call it tolerable, but not ideal.

I'm having big problems with GTA V, Win 10 and 15.7.1, It is crashing and freezing a lot, sometimes it crashs and I get an error msg and sometimes it freezes for a couple of seconds and then it returns.

Before I was using Win 8.1 and 15.6, never had a single crash.

I always had some problems with flickering and the sky going really bright, almost making me blind, but this I could fix with an alt+tab and returning to the game OR changing the resolution and changing back... I still have this problems and now the crashes.

I'm running 3x 7950s and 3x 1920x1080 screens.

As far as I can tell, GTA V is the only game that I'm having problems atm.

Any suggestions?
Should I try the new 15.8 beta?

Yes definitely, solved almost all my Win10 issues so far.

That is strange so MSI AB seems to be your issue here..

Here how my GPU changes with frame rate..

CSGO - 1440p 300fps = 100% load @1030 ------ 135fps load up and down core 900+ ------------ 60fps load up and down core 600+.......... My GPU changes based on how much stress I push it.

hmm something interesting is happening, the plot thickens. I have one of those power meter plugs that you put in the wall to measure the watts being used Shanks. During the stutter periods, when everything seems to hitch and come to a crawl, on the wall plug I can see the wattage being used drop from 760w to 350w, almost like the system is briefly going into power saving or something. Any ideas? It's a 850w Gold PSU, maximum I see it use is 770w ish so surely that's plenty of extra juice. What you think?

What make is it mate?
It sounds like one the GPUs is loosing power? resulting in this stutter.. Does the game ever crash? or does it continue to stutter?
 
its an OCZ 850w Gold.

game doesnt crash but after the stutter, gpu usage drops to like 10% or 20% then springs back to 70% or 80% etc. It's so weird. I've no other big wattage PSU to test, I've gone back to 15.7.1 and its still the same.

edit.

Just played a few rounds of BF4, everything perfect, no drops nothing. It must be just Mad Max and Witcher 3 and me just being to hard on them. We all know Witcher 3 is gash on crossfire, and maybe Mad Max is such a new game that AMD just haven't had time with it yet. Could be just because it's a new game I guess. Here's my BF4 log, perfect results seeing as I capped 140fps in MSI AB, everything is exactly where I'd expect it to be. Cards throttling a little because of the constant 140fps.

Seems that power supply isn't holding power well enough :( Its hard to really say without testing another PSU with your system..

I can highly recommend the Superflower range. But there again I wouldn't like you spending money on a new PSU and finding out its something else.

Hard choice mate

Edit
Maybe try something like Crysis 3 full setting that sure will push your system.
 
4K here too, looks fine to me :)

Also, I am loving having a 295x2 now that the weather is getting chillier. Really helped warm up my room today. Even my partner noticed :D
