Where have the colour settings gone? I liked to turn up saturation in some games to make colours more vivid. I cant open the "additional settings" anymore
 
My score went up too. Almost 100 points.
 
Doesn't work properly on my system. :( Shenanigans with my 2 monitor DP MST setup.
 
Selected a clean install and it was in the un-installing phase when i got a BSOD ... then the PC wouldn't boot ...

Fortunately, i managed to bypass it by selecting last successful boot and i started installing again. While installing, the monitor kept flickering, as usual, but then turned black and wouldn't turn on ... had to forcibly turn the PC off ...

After trying to install it again, i just wouldn't show the radeon settings icon nor would it appear under programs ... this was getting annoying ...

After a "few more installs" i finally managed to have it properly installed: FINALLY ...
 
Interesting....
 
Can't complain about another 5% on average performance on cards ranging all the way back to 7970's. With the extra features, and multiple Nvidia driver snafu's this year, all AMD now needs is a good 1080 \ Titan competitor and I'm sure at least a few of us enthusiasts may jump ship.
 
Good news, they finally fixed the friggin file for AMD External Events Utility: atiesrxx.exe, which was causing Windows 7 to slow boot with please wait message, I installed these and the issue is gone, it was a pain for 6+ months

Nice to see AMD making their cards more competitive against NVIDIA's. I hope the next gen CPUs and GPUs give NVIDIA and Intel something to think about.
 
Do not install these drivers if you have a R9 290!! After one day, all my games are capped at max 9 FPS.

Cannot disable watt man functions that apparently lock my GPU at 3-400MHz

I also have a R9 290 and I haven't experienced such problems. Maybe you should try running DDU and then do a fresh install?

That's ridiculous! Why they would remove such a basic function is beyond me.

Thanks, for confirming though thought I was just being a little stupid and they had moved it and I couldn't find it.

Solved by installing 16.11.5 Hotfix, actually gained 4-5 fps i DL at 6000x1200 by doing that.

I had tried all kinds of reset in the ReLive driver, and also trying to fix a high GPU setting. It worked fine all day yesterday during at least 4 cold boot ups - apparently som kind of setting overruled the rest. Problem appeared in several titles.

By fresh install - everything worked fine - in fact better than the prior 16.9xx version of crimson that I had used.

Gues Im stuck on this for now
 
This Software streams like a dream. With OBS I needed to scale back to 720p 30fps with this I can push 1440p 60fps but I scale back to 1080p 60fps so mobile users arent getting their data crushed.

All of this with a Fury X + FX 8370

Happy Customer here :3

I've installed them on three systems with R9 290 GPUs and they work just fine.

I've got them on my crossfire 290 setup working just fine in fact i love the Relive feature been using it nonstop to get my benchmarking saved. At last though Vega can't come soon enough, they are truly showing their age.
 
For an overview of the scope and magnitude of this release, see this quick video:

 
wasn't able to run crossfire on this version with 2x wx7100? anyone have any luck with this setup? My rig ran 2x w7100 crossfire without a problem?
