Not sure which ones they are but it installed those on mine. I installed the new ones right over the top of them and now says 15.20.1062.1002-150715a-187327C

I seem to be having a problem with 15.7.1 on Windows 10 which seems linked to crossfire and Frame Pacing. I posted this in a seperate thread, but this might actually be a driver issue.

Hi guys. Just noticed something very strange today and was wondering if anyone on Windows 10, with crossfire setup and a freesync monitor could look at. This might be driver related, although not entirely sure, was hoping some of you experts could throw some ideas.
What happens is, when Frame Pacing is enabled in CCC, I get very regular frame drops every 10 seconds or so. I could happily be sat at 144fps solid, then the game/benchmark will stutter then frames drop to 60 along with my core clocks dropping to 800MHz from 1050MHz. Within a second or so, my clocks go back to were they are set and my frames jump back up to 144fps. 10 Seconds later the same will happen, fps drops to 60 or so as do my core clocks for a second or so then the core returns to 1050MHz and fps returns to 144fps again. It's really regular, happens at the same interval regardless of what I'm doing on the screen.
Have a look here at these examples, both done on a bench run of Valley, the only difference is one with Frame Pacing on and one with it off. Both tests with Freesync enabled.
This is Frame Pacing "OFF" (disregard the spikes as this was a bench run and the drops are in between the 18 different tests, as you can see the GPU clock speeds remain stable though and the fps remains up over 100 apart from the change between tests. )
And this is with Frame Pacing "ON"
As you can see, with Frame Pacing on, the charts are all over the shop. GPU usage drops to 46% every 5-10 seconds which results in fps dropping to 60 at that time, then bounces back up to where it should do. There's a 9k difference in score as to be expected.
Does this look like a Driver Issue with Windows 10 and Frame Pacing when using Crossfire? Could it be Freesync and Frame Pacing not behaving? I never had this issue on Windows 8.1, when gaming I always run Frame Pacing and Freesync as it makes things so smooth, I've never seen this regular frame drop every 10 seconds before.

On Windows 10 now with the newest drivers. Any AMD rep willing to give a reason why they have removed VCE support?
Just checked and it isn't working for me either. I'm on 15.7.1.

15.7.1 has fixed all my GTAV issues!
Game looks amazing now and doesn't run bad at all on my 7990 (was unplayable on 15.7)

Windows 10 is a pain for autoupdates. Make sure you disable automatic driver updates otherwise it will silently update to some obscure version which may be older than the 15.7.1. My Xfi sound kept going off until I realised this was updating it to a non-working driver.

Yeah the 15.7.1 fixed GTA for me too.
I had the same experience, I did notice that it was still a bit sluggish, especially in the menus, I disabled frame pacing and it's a lot smoother and didn't notice and tearing or stuttering.
Heh I know what they fixed with 15.7.1
The damn vertical lines appearing on off on some games and desktop, like the monitor was configured to run on 50hz.
That existed only on 15.7 drivers, none of the previous one had that issue, nor the 15.7.1

This quite annoying as I've just started to explore recording/streaming my gaming and find this very handy.
Hopefully it's just a bug (so should be fixed in 3 months or so, 6 tops) and not a decision to no longer support VCE or something like that.
