Is this the same one that was released on the 7th or is this a re-release?

Looks to be the same exact version.

Yeah it is the HF released earlier.
Seems to be working fine and does fix some of the Fallout 4 issues I was running into with a 290.
 
i found a bug with them the crimson software does not detect them as the latest driver instead they detect 16.15 as the latest...
