Noticed Framerate peak and time between small stutter skipping has improved drastically in NFS .. work being done behind the scenes? is it close to a working (without issue) CrossFireX profile?? !!! I have my fingers crossed!! it is ALMOST playable! 
Frame Rate Target Control not working, why not just use RivaTuner per profile .exe cap?! seems to work fine for me!! I know not every hardware set-up is the same but I've had great success with it!

An FYI, since World of Tanks activated the DX11 engine, my fps skyrocketed, as it should given the card. On DX9 mode (which some time the WoT client changes do), I lose the extra ~20fps gained from DX11 and is back to normal. (high 70s).

Matt can you confirm that people with the 300 cards are seeing black horizontal line flickering in windows with latest drivers? I want to know if its just me?

Guys, need a few suggestions, something really starting to irk me regarding a good old fashion "High Definition Audio Bus" bug.
Little bit of back story, i'll keep it short. I've always had my monitor on Display 1 for gaming and desktop stuff, but also have got the lounge Samsung Plasma hooked up via HDMI for movie watching with the wife. Now in the past, this always worked flawless. When we wanted to watch a movie or something through the TV, I'd just turn to HDMI4 on the TV, change to display 2 on PC and then change my speaker setting playback to the TV speakers via HDMI (comes up as Samsung in playback sound devices) all standard really.
Now the previous driver I downloaded (16.5.2.1) when watching a movie through the TV I had lost the ability to get sound through the TV completely. It wasn't even giving me an option to select TV as my sound playback device. Was really annoying me cause my PC and 5.1 setup is the other side of the lounge and just is weird watching movie on the TV with the sound coming from 20 feet away where my PC is.
Just decided to download the new driver (16.6.1) and still have the same issue. Went looking around in Device Manager and saw the High Definition Audio Bus had a conflict, but weirdly there was already an High Definition Audio Bus above it that had no conflict.
Firstly before we go any further, is it normal to have 2 High Definition Audio Bus and 1 Audio Controller in Device Manager? Is this because I have 2 GPU's?
Then I noticed a few strange things. When pulling up Crimson and looking at displays, it shows my Samsung TV is using DVI-D, which it's definitely not as its on HDMI from PC to TV.
Have a goosey, I'll have to put some of these under spoilers as they are a little big, and you need to read the text.
Anyway, decided to try and update the drivers manually,
But got this message
Decided to uninstall it and rebooted to see if that solved it
As you can see it's picked the Audio Bus up after reboot but it's in disabled mode. Manually tried to update the Audio Bus with the Audio Bus driver, installed fine but had the conflict exclamation mark again. Decided to uninstall it again, but this time uninstally the driver as well, rebooted and the got this
So now its not found the Audio Bus but has found another Controller. This is really starting to annoy me. I've tried removing driver, then DDU, then reinstalled but same thing. Actually question, when installed the AMD driver, you have the check boxes come up right - 1 for the driver, 1 for Vulkan, 1 for AMD Evolved, 1 for "High Definition Audio Driver" etc...well I need to have that "High Definition Audio Driver" ticked in the installer right? I've always as long as man has stood installed the AMD driver with that ticked, but just reading around on the web, seen plenty of people saying not to install it.
Any ideas please guys, this is really starting to pee me off.

Definitely shouldn't be picking up your hdmi as dvi that seems like your issue.
I had a really big problem where I could only get low quality 2 channel audio out of my 280x and was ready to give up on amd but after endless hours of messing about I got it to install. I know it's different card slightly different issue but if it's any help to you this is what I done to get my audio installed.

We fixed a similar issue in 16.6.1, are you using those drivers?

Can you right click the Audi Device with a question mark and select enable?
Soldato
Is it conflicting with motherboard HD controller? I know MB also label HD audio controller.
Has for GPU each GPU has DP and Hdmi each have also there own controller.

Soldato
Yes, but then just get the little yellow exclamation mark.
Soldato
So I should be seeing two High Definition Audio Bus and two Audio Controllers then?
I've no idea.
Okay do that, then manually install the Audio driver and point to the installer.
Soldato
Yeah that's what I've been doing previously, comes back with this error
If this is under "System Devices" than this has to be a problem with the Audio Controller on motherboard right? Shanks said something a few posts back, maybe its the onboard audio giving me this issue, because the AMD High Definition Audio Driver comes under the Sound,Video and Game Controllers tab doesn't it?

If you run a game (or something to wake up the second GPU from ULPS slumber), does the currently disabled audio device become available?
Yes it does. Perhaps that's a Realtek driver you need?
Soldato
yeah baby 
And also, remember the annoying bug I was having with the memory clock on GPU1 getting stuck at 1600MHz even when I was on the Desktop.....well fixed that as well, it's a good day

Nice.
The memory clock should only kick up into 3D clocks at 144HZ, or if you have more than one display connected and enabled.

Just to add, from my experience the memory clock only ramps up if the multiple displays are running different resolutions. Mine downclocks fine with 4 x 1920x1080 (2 different make/models) attached but it used to stay at 3D speeds when I had 3 x 1920x1080 screens and the fourth being a 1600x1200 or a 1920x1200 monitor.
Glad you got that sorted though Tony.

THX Stu, just one of those frustrating bugs that comes out of nowhere.

Correct Stu. If the displays and timings are identical, then the GPU may remain in 2D. It does also depend on the AIB GPU/Bios as well, some models have different MCLK states so that the GPU will ramp up, even with two identical displays running at the same resolution.
