Thanks Matt and i should have added my snipe wasn't directed at you personally! Just frustration AMD took drivers that worked well enough, did the overheat thing to start with and monumentally nerfed a lot of people gaming experience which is still an open issue after 4 months.

Matt, Steam VR only brings the score to 11 from 9.6 going from single to 2x fury x. This is not significant performance improvement ;) especially when 1x 980ti is getting 11 as well.
Though I do believe that steam VR benchmark is limited at 11

Try checking frames tested from 1 to 2 cards to see what the gains are. 11 is the max score but there is no limit on the frames tested from what I have seen.

Pretty disgraceful TBH, how can is be a "high priority issue" and still not be fixed 4 month later :(. Somebody at AMD must have a very odd interpretation of "high priority"!

Against my better judgement I just bought a Fury X, posts like this make me question my purchase :eek:

This updated driver is still holding onto overclocked core/memory clocks from a 3rd party software after complete shutdown. So if you run an overclock that needs additional voltage, crimson ramps up your clocks before what ever software your using to control voltage can kick in and you get a black screen on Windows log in.

Yep, instead they just keep plodding on. High priority to me means pulling out all the stops yet months later here we are still.
