AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.2.1

[HardOCP News]

AMD has released brand new Crimson Edition 16.2.1 drivers for all you Radeon owners out there. In addition to a handful of fixes, these drivers have a Crossfire Profile for Far Cry Primal. Here's a list of resolved Issues:

• 
  
  • A black screen/TDR error may be encountered when booting a system with Intel + AMD graphics and an HDMI monitor connected
  • Choppy gameplay may be experienced when both AMD Freesync™ and AMD Crossfire™ are both enabled
  • Display corruption may be observed after keeping system idle for some time
  • Fallout 4 - Flickering may be experienced at various game locations with the v1.3 game update and with AMD Crossfire™ enabled
  • Fallout 4 - Foliage/water may ripple/stutter when game is launched in High/Ultra settings mode
  • Fallout 4 - Screen tearing in systems with both AMD Freesync™ and AMD Crossfire™ enabled if game is left idle for a short period of time
  • Fallout 4 - Thumbnails may flicker or disappear while scrolling the Perk levels page

Could the Far Cry Primal Crossfire Profile somehow be applied to Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 3? (Nvidia SLI profiles can be applied to other games using Nvidia Inspector.)

Known issue I'm not gambling with:

Core clocks may not maintain sustained clock speeds resulting in choppy performance and or screen corruption

I installed Crimson drivers and it disabled the 144hz refresh option. Had to roll back to the old drivers.

I will admit that it is a major pain in the ass. However, it does not occur in every single game.

Experienced it on my 380, had to roll back.

yeah, that's a tonga card. rebranded R9 285 with 4GB vRAM instead of 2GB.

Well, I tried these drivers over the weekend. Completely cleaned out old drivers and installed fresh. BO3 gets random driver crashes, SW:BF seems to run ok, but still have terrain corruption.

I went back to 15.11.1. Most stable for me.
