Great timing FAH just finished and I recieved the latest bios from Sapphire Support ie althonmicro. It will be nice having both Fury X's running the same bios with UEFI support for when I move to Win 10.

*Edit Cards flashed without issue. BIOS Part Number 113-C8800100-103 BIOS Version 015.048.000.066 BIOS Date 2015/07/21 14:46 it's same bios that was posted at Techpowerup on 2015-11-04

Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 Highlights

Support for:
Oculus Rift™ SDK v1.3
AMD Radeon™ Pro Duo

Updated Crossfire Profiles available for:
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture™
Hitman™ in DirectX®11

Resolved Issues

Counter-Strike™: Global Offensive fails to stretch on non-native display aspect ratios. As part of the new Display Scaling per game feature, users can set "GPU Scaling" to "On" and "Scaling Mode" to "Full Panel" in the Display options tab in Radeon™ Settings as well as setting "Display Scaling" to "Full Panel" in their CSGO gaming profile under the "Gaming, Profile Options" tabs for this to take effect.
AMD Radeon™ Fury Series may experience corruption on desktop when system is idle for an extended period of time.
​​FFXIV can experience black screen or experience an application hang.
XCOM2™ may experience minor stutter while the camera is panning around a scene.
Radeon™ Settings check for software update may not display the latest available driver.

Known Issues

A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay"
Need For Speed™ may experience poor scaling or flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode. As a work around users can disable the profile through the Radeon™ Settings game manager.
The Division™ may experience flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
Power efficiency toggle in Radeon™ Settings is showing up for some unsupported products.
DOTA2™ may experience game menu flickering when entering full screen mode with AMD Crossfire™ enabled.
League of Legends® may experience some graphical corruption on characters death animation in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
XCOM2™ users may experience an application crash when using AMD Crossfire™ mode. As a work around please disable AMD Crossfire™ for the games profile in the Radeon™ Settings Gaming tab.
Hitman™ may experience flickering when played in DirectX™ 11 mode. As a work around users are recommended to either set the game to DirectX™ 12 mode in the games settings launcher or simply set “Shadow Resolution” to “Low” in the game settings.

Notes:

Product is based on the Vulkan™ 1.0 Specification and has been submitted to, and is expected to pass, the Khronos Conformance Process. Current conformance status can be found at www.khronos.org/conformance. Vulkan™ and the Vulkan™ logo are trademarks of the Khronos Group Inc.

Well, they finally have passed conformance for Vulkan...

Now, let's see what else these can do. :)

waiting any day for "AMD is sorry to announce that their software team won't be supporting Crossfire technology through their drivers and specific game profiles will not receive any further update. This decision stems from the inability to exploit our exclusive technolgy the way it was originally conceived, as well as from the lack of specific developer optimizations. Users are encouraged to continue using their Crossfire setups with working titles and to disable Crossfire when specifically unsupported. Blah blah blah..."

sure because it didn't work for you they are going to stop cfx and stop making x2 cards that they make a lot of money on :nuts:

never going to happen 8k screens are just starting to show up and will need 3+ cards in cfx

Does the sales of "x2" cards cover the expences for R&D of said cards even?

What I find odd is that "x2" cards, officially, only is with enthusiast chips, I bet they would sell more if they did a 370x x2 card (i.e).

yeah, from a quick read in various gaming forums it seems I was actually the only one ever to have had an unsatisfactory Crossfire experience :nuts:

my post was only a joke, btw. I was simply quite fed up with having to wait for Crossfire fixes/optimizations that simply won't happen ;)

what does it matter when 8 out of 10 games need 2 to 3 game patches to run right on one card anymore and the other 2 need 4 patches :lol:
by the time the games are patched cfx/sli are working some what at least

and most of the worse ones seem to be nv gamesnowork, some of nvidia gameworks titles are about the only ones that takes them awhile to fix cf
I wonder why :bleh:

Yeh, not to talk about VR, mGPU will help, this if dx12 does makes supporting them easier.
 
This gave me some headaches getting it installed and working properly. And, even though I can get it running from the APPS list, it no longer shows up in the list when I Right-Click on the Desktop. ???
 
Does this driver require you to open the settings on every reboot to get the custom color and brightness to work?

Does it still use the old CCC for those settings?

thanks


ps

AHCI drivers are still old.

I have to disagree. My experience going from dual 7950's to single 390X is night and day, on the same exact titles, even if mine is considered more of a sidegrade.
I can start listing all things that are 100 times better on single high end compared to multi-gpu, but I'm afraid I wouldn't convince you anyway.
I've only seen Crossfire support going down the drain in the past 5 years, with performance never being exactly stellar. And most games exhibited problems that were never fixed long after I stopped playing the hell out of them.

Dyre Straits, I had the same thing happening and solved it after a couple re-installs. For some reasons I noticed these drivers install better with some registry keys still intact from previous versions rather than right after a DDU clean-up. More like: clean with DDU, install driver, uninstall drivers using control panel, re-install drivers. In other words, rinse and repeat.

Cartel, there's a whole procedure to follow using Windows Color Management to retain your custom calibration, dunno if you went through that. I suggest you do a search for it, although I'm not quite sure it's the problem you're having.

i noticed this as well on earlier versions.

If you open CCC lite, it messes with your default windows color profile.

you have to go back to windows color management and reapply your default profile.

From what i saw one of the best CFX experience begun with 290 series and continued with fury...The handling of CFX by two 290 was far superior from what i saw in benches.I never had a cfx so i can't talk from experience..
I still want a single gpu experience for less headache and less worries...It's like a very expensive sportscar and you can ride it only on a couple of streets because of the ground clearance.
 
With Doom4 coming soon, I noticed triple buffering in openGL does not work here in open GL. Is this the current state??

Crossfire 7970 owns single 390x in every game. I know cause I own both setups. So I had to get another 390x to get decent performance I had before. In meantime I added third and it just works perfect in Windows 7. Windows 10 garbage can't handle not even single card properly.
 
These drivers suck.
Radeon setting application crashes all the time and even Need for Speed - Underground 2 lags like crap.

total waste of time
