ONE MORE THING

H T C V I V E D A Y

 

ok, I guess im selling my second 290.

 

Ironically I had no issue with Crossfire 290s.
I just wanted a fury X really badly.
I rarely, rarely ever had any flickering.

 

Thanks for posting. I'll test them soon.

 

What triggered your decision?

 

it's obvious, he read known issues :nerd:

 

It fixes DX12 issues in Ashes

 

I will explain why, here is AMD 2016 Crossfire support:

Not to mention the stuff they never fix or mention, or completely disable crossfire in.

 

I was just trying to have a conversation. I know that there are issues. I was curious what triggered his decision. You know, what problems he is facing right now.

 

Keep in mind that they don't mention everything they fix either. I reported an issue just last night and what do you know "its fixed". They do not mention it in the fixes either. So make sure and test it before complaining cause it possible they did work on it.

 

Probably i will have Crossfire support on Need For Speed when i get bored of the game

 

You know may does not equal will right.

 

3DMark Firestrike scores are the same as before (within margins of error):

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/11517856?

But I ran the test a few times, and restarted two times in between. Andit seems 3DMark reads the clock speeds wrong with this driver (check the link above).

My Core is @ 1060Mhz and Memory is @ 1400Mhz and it's locked via MSI Afterburner (does not fluctuate at all nor does my score of 8000+ indicate that they're fluctuating) But 3DMark seems to be reading them at 600Mhz & 1200Mhz respectively.

Anyone else having this issue with the driver? 280X or HD7970 people out there. Check the graphics card details in 3DMark on the webpage after it's done benchmarking and see your clock speeds for Core & Memory.

Not a big issue (since it doesn't impact the scores at all), just wondering if anyone else is having it?

 

F04 loads up super fast on these...

im wondering shader caching was busted on 16.3.2

 

I've never had issues with it before, it always showed correctly.

The score difference is definitely the result of the CPU difference.

I have a 4790K running @ 4.7Ghz

 

WTF is wrong with multi-GPU support in games these days?!

 

Anyone tested if this resolved DX12 frame rate cap in HITMAN™?

 

SLI and Xfire are good for games that are older then 6 months. Which are mostly what I game, so haven't noticed flickering or anything really.

 

Yes for basic score but his graphics score is way too low and CPU should not be effecting that. Even yours drops below 9k while mine is 9.6k.

I'll try this drivers to see if something has changed in that regard.

 

My PC locks up a few minutes after I run Black Desert Online with the drivers 16.3+. 16.2 was the latest stable driver which doesn't result in freeze. I wonder what have changed after that version. I didn't install VulcanRT this time but it didn't matter.
