They've been hard at work with Crimson, I just looked in my archived driver folder and this is the 22nd Crimson driver in there.
The turn around since Crimson started paired with how nice the Fury tri-x is to live with is why I'm going to wait on Vega which will make it my the third AMD gpu in a row.

wow...nope. Flickering like crazy on desktop after exiting out of a game.
it seems to increase when you move the mouse pointer around the screen and over windows..also clicking lmb or typing like im doing now causes it to flicker more.wow...nope. Flickering like crazy on desktop after exiting out of a game.
Yeah I've tried the new drivers but I'm getting the same flickering. Do you know of a previous driver I can use that doesn't have the flickering? I can't remember what driver it started happening in.

16.7.2 works for me with no flickering, anything after that is flickering.

Touch wood I haven't had the 100% gpu load issue with 16.8.2 as of yet...
Any ideas if the "unable to initialize opengl window" error whilst trying to launch no mans sky is a driver or game issue?
Tried all the potential fixes people are reporting and nothing has worked for me I still cannot load the game due to this error...

I've just installed 16.8.2 and during benchmarks I get a constant 100% GPU usage but my core clock is dropping below 1000 (should be 1335) and I'm getting rubbish scores compared to everyone else because of it voltage is saying 1.1313 and temp is maxing at 77, any ideas?

Ok so I had really good success having the flickering completely gone & FreeSync rock solid reliable via this method:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx
Using the AMD Uninstall Utility, before the restart enabling safe mode & then using
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V16.1.0.
Clean Install of 16.8.2
I am considering not driver updating for a little while because as it stands right now everything is running perfect!!
Crossfire always enabled and if a game requires single card specific (CS:GO etc) using the "launch" command from within Radeon Settings with crossfire disabled profile works a treat!

Don't run gpuz and see if you still get 100% gpuz usage. I have removed mine from running at startup and no issues now until I manually run it.
I've also noticed that if it crashes in a test, it's hard to get decent scores again sometimes without a reboot.

I always use the AMD utility from add/remove programs to uninstall then run DDU in safe mode and install new driver. I'm not a fan of just updating the driver in Crimson even though ppl seem to say it's fine.
