I truly love the footnotes of AMD =D "Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of April 3, 2016 on the AMD Radeon™ Fury X, on a test system comprising Intel i7 5960X CPU, 16GB DDR4-2666 Mhz system memory" I will always wonder why they do not use their own crappy CPUs.

Anyway downloading and testing, sadly I have no more the ol 280X. so this is going to be tested with the 390X.

Well they have to accept reality for what it is, Intel has the huge market share. Besides most full AMD systems have less issues with driver updates based on what I have seen over the years. Intel systems have a bit more so probably more necessary.
 
I noticed those system specs too. Makes me sad they can't have a fully AMD system. :( I hope Zen turns things around.
They also mention the fps improvement in forza but I've never seen any numbers before that. And there is no mention of settings again...
Anyways, drivers are working fine so far. The stutter I had with 16.4.2 is gone and performance seems fine.

Lets face it....their video cards are still competitive and will perform better with more powerful cpus. I doubt this will totally change even when zen gets here. Their cards and cpus are separate divisions now. I dont blame them, cause one shouldn't hold back the other.
