I think the red part of your sig says it all really.

There must be a lot being added to this driver for it to take so long?
If its just more VSR stuff I will be a little disappointed.

Tbh, it doesn't bother me, as im running the 14.12s without issue, but im only using a single card, its the Xfire users im feeling it for.

Yeah, feel like I might as well have just got one 4gb 290, rather than three 8gb 290x.
There really is no need for this approach, even if they are adding major features. That should not stop them releasing interim updates for games.
Starting to pee me off about as much as the memory stuff on the 970's did.

I was contemplating going Xfire now that ive got the rig for it, but absolutely no chance now, sticking to single card.

Will the new drivers continue to contain Mantle?
I'm guessing they'll have to indefinitely or people would lose access to Mantle in their games.

I'm on 14.9 guys, any point in updating? Not really playing any new games, wondering about overall performance.
This driver better be worth that wait.
I switched to AMD not long before the Omega driver was released to try AMD out as I have had nvidia for years so I am better informed whenever 20nm drops to make the right decision and they have done this.
easy decision atm.

Id say if your not having any problems with those, and not bothered about VSR, then no.
There isn't much performance difference over the 14.9s (as i went from those to the Omegas and can't see any), the big performance increase they showed in the slides, was over a driver that was months and months before those

What issue is that?
Some of us (not all, which is why they are having trouble replicating it) have issues where DPC latency goes through the roof if you have more than one monitor enabled. Disabling vsync helps, but the only real workaround is Disabling any secondary monitors (which then allows you to use vsync with no problems). Oddly, this doesn't affect eyefinity arrays, but just extended desktops. Matt had reported several times, but they don't seem able to fix it because they can't pin down a cause (no common hardware, etc). Real pain in the backside and I'm also desperate for a fix.
