Hey guys.
Just recently upgraded my rig with another R9 290.
I was kind of worried that my 750w PSU wouldn't be able to handle them both, but they are running just fine at the stock clocks in 3DMark Time Spy (score of 5500~ so far) and other high end game benchmarks.

The only game I am really having an issue with at the moment is GTA 5.
It will open the game just fine but as soon as it gets done with the loading screen, the screen goes black and the game stops responding in Windows 10.
There doesn't seem to be a Crossfire profile for GTA 5 in the latest Crimson Relive drivers?
I will try disabling MSAA as a last ditch effort. I have literally tried EVERYTHING else that I can think of as far as different driver settings and in-game graphic settings that aren't at Ultra/very high...
Game runs fine with Crossfire disabled. I hope there is a work around though for some extra frames!
EDIT: Disabling MSAA and VSYNC does not fix the problem either...

I have issues running Grid autosport on the relive drivers... I tested an earlier driver and the problem was fixed.

So send AMD a bug report and lets wait and hopefully they get the fixes out ASAP

I've completed the game with no issue's at all with a single card @ 1080p with max settings without issue ( well x4 AA ). Just disable the other card and just play.

I did notice some weired vsync issue's with the game and noticed chill or some part of the newer drivers did not work 100% with the game using a 290X.

I actually tried to revert back to the beta drivers just before the Relive drivers AND disabled Crossfire and it STILL won't load into the game (crashes during the loading screen)...I might have to reinstall the game...

Maybe try a integrity check though steam to make sure all files are as they should be.
