Is this going to include Linux?
Honestly -- who cares anymore?
They've promised all sorts of crazy shit, but their drivers have always been their weak point. My crossfire 290's are nice and all that, but they are still a pain in the ass long term.
For me - it's like the boy who cried wolf -- they've said so many times "something awesome is coming' and nothing ever really happens.
I really like AMD - but holy shit... they aren't making it easy to want to stay in the camp.
Hopefully these drivers will deliver. I remember when they released the major driver update for the 7000 series cards back in 2012 that gave the 7970 an edge over the 680 in most games. This was after I had already bought the 680. Now that I have a 980Ti I wonder if these drivers will make the Fury X exceed it? Hard to say.
If only AMD could have more mature drivers around the launch of their cards then they could perform closer to their potential right out of the gate instead of months later after many people have already bought Nvidia cards. Going back to the 7970 and 680 I probably would have gone with the 7970 if the driver was more mature when I was building my PC. Instead I went with the 680 only to get slightly disappointed after seeing AMD release the performance driver for the 7970.
I got a nano and fury x i haven't experienced any drivers problems or issues at all. I am the only one?

Truth is that both companies release drivers much later on that make great strides in addressing incompatibilities and increase general speed. Just buy whatever is the fastest and fits your needs when you're ready to purchase. Any additional miracle drivers that come later on are icing on the cake. In another words, don't listen to complainers and fanboys. Use your own brain to digest review numbers and impressions to make your decision.
Your 680 and 980ti are fine cards and were great choices. If you had went 7970 and Fury X, I wouldn't disparage you for that choice.
So what would you all like to see added as a dream feature?
For me it would be an update that allowed frame duplication in the driver for freesync displays, or at least some select displays. I'd like to have that gsync = superior smirk slapped off the face of Ryan/Allyn over at pcper. It still won't be enough, they'll just shift to some other metrics like overdrive quality you need a slow mo camera to detect or some ethereal notions about the "uncanny valley" of the additional 21 fps granted by the 165Hz gsync display, but this would take away one of the arrows in the quiver used to fire broadsides into amd gpus.
thats not possible, the requisite hardware would need to be in the monitor.
The gsync module precludes that possibility.
My original statement was to let nvidia gpus be able to use freesync. Don't see what g sync monitors has anything to do with that. Only reason nvidia can't use freesync now is because they don't have DP 1.2a. They do however have hdmi 2.0 and amd plans to allow freesync over hdmi in the future. Intel will be using freesync in the future.
I would RATHER Radeon cards be able to use Gsync monitors. I bet if AMD reverse engineered the process they could Frankenstein together something like "GreenSync" that allows AMD cards to utilise the VBlank of Gsync screens to the same effect as ASync.

How exactly could an AMD driver update make an Nvidia GPU do anything? magic? telepathy?
the question was what would your dream feature in the AMD driver contain...
thats some good shit your smoking...
