Its a PITA isn't it? I cannot understand why they would think it was a good idea to remove them.

No idea mate.
Have you tried either of the workarounds? Both are pretty easy to maintain and work well if you want to use the drivers.
Matt,
The new drivers are causing clock fluctuations even on my old 7950 single card mode. Tried putting up the resoluton to 1440P VSR and 4xAA in Valley and Heaven benchmarks but still the gpu load and frequency keep switching between 100%-60%. Causing stutter in frame rate. Happens in games too.

Ok Thx matt, will try that tomorrow.
Regarding the 3D clock option, it's a tab thats at the top when you go into professional mode.
Matt,
With 15.12,
a) Total War Attila, Charlemagne DLC, when alt tab to windows and go back, whole world breaks lose. Severe flickering, both as screen (between black-colour) and as frequency (vertical black lines). Clock speed goes up but fps stays bellow 10.
b) SWTOR & TESO. The graphics are not rendered properly, and while I have everything maxed out, the textures look like they are bellow the Low setting while on the move. When I stop and give it 1 second, they sort themselves out.
I play those games for years, and never had such issues.
c) The Always 3D clocks, on Asus GPU Tweak, do show on my 295X2 and Windows 7. And if I haven't clicked it, the flickering is severe on all games.
Seriously something is broken after 15.6 & Freesync. Because I never had such issues on screen quality or performance.

Freesync is definitely broken, which is a shame, because when it's working (crossfire and FS) it's awesome.
Please please AMD sort it out.

Freesync is working fine for me on a single Fury. Are you referring to Freesync with Crossfire?
Just tried out that 'ClockBlocker' software with AC:Syndicate and it's cleared up the stuttering I was getting, a lot smoother now.
Initially when playing it it felt like possibly a streaming issue with the game or hitting ram/vram limits but dropping settings etc didn't seem to help much. Running the CB s/w has cleared it up to the point that I've put the settings in game back up and it's still running better than before.
Think AMD need to dial back on the power savings a bit, or better yet give the consumer a the choice to turn it off when running 3D clocks via the driver.
Always been a fan of ATi/AMD but this latest Crimson package (though I do like the look and feel of it and the direction it is going) is a step backwards and just feels incomplete and rushed out for the sake of it.
Still don't like the fact that we now have Crimson, CCC Lite and then still having to go back to Windows settings just to manage the settings for everything, particularly in Win10 as the Windows settings seem worse than they where in Win7. :/

The latest driver is a disaster for Batman, it crashes every 10-15 mins, have to switch back to the last one.

freeysnc and crossfire working without any issues here, everything is fine for me. The problem for me comes when I enable "Frame Pacing". When Frame Pacing is on with Freesync, my core clocks do jump all over the place, even using the ASUS GPU tweak to lock 3d clocks doesnt work. Disable Frame Pacing though and everything works as it should, so this issue is obviously linked to Frame Pacing and Freesync somehow. I've put in numerous reports of this, hopefully someone actually reads the report because I must have thrown in maybe 12 to 15 reports in the last 2 months, I'm just one voice though with no acknowledgement they are looking at these issues.

Trouble is though, some games mess up with the Frame Pacing off.

As an example, if i turn it off in GTA V, i get what looks like terrible tearing, right along the top of the screen when turning around.
Although saying that, ive just thought, maybe thats got something to do with the FreeSync not working when FPs off, not sure, its annoying though, as i tried with it off in that, to see if it got rid of the stuttering i only get with Xfire with it.
Found this compare video.

ah right, yeah get ya. The games do look better with Frame Pacing enabled but for me I'll trade off the smoothness for the moment to get both my 390's maxing out on the cores lol. Annoying as hell, not sure why they can't make something work without breaking something else. Do AMD even have test rigs with Freesync and crossfire, just baffling how these drivers and software launch with so many issues. Does no-one test or are we the BETA testers here.

Wait.....
Decided to give 15.12 crimson's a go. Frame pacing and freesync enabled core clocks no longer bouncing for me using the Asus gpu tweak tool and highlighting the "always use 3D clocks" at least it's smooth again by using that method.
