AMD has released Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.2.1. This driver release has a 4% boost to performance in For Honor and a 5% boost in Sniper Elite 4. It also enables a multi GPU for both games under DX11. AMD has discovered some bugs related to FreeSync, mGPU, and others. So make sure that you read the patch notes and report them to their support team.

Known Issues

• For Honor™ may experience game menu flickering issues or fail to render after performing a task switch in 4x Multi GPU system configurations.
• Adjusting Radeon WattMan settings on some Radeon R9 380 series products may cause display flickering or application hangs.
• AMD FreeSync™ technology mode may not be compatible or function with Sniper Elite™ 4.
• Enabling supersampling in Sniper Elite™ 4 may cause image cropping.

I reported a Freesync error last night to the driver team, no way it got fixed that fast O_O. Will report back with testing tonight when I get home.

what was the freesync error?
I got these drivers and thety caused me major artifacting. Went back to the old ones and works like a charm

Oh I'm sure, just happy if it got fixed! Still haven't gotten that Overwatch flickering bug fixed so I'm starting to think it is Blizzard at this point. It basically prevents me from using crossfire which was supported day 1 but now might as well not be supported.

Monitor kept sticking to 89Hz basically disabling freesync in game, even though the game was limited to 85fps. it would stay disabled until I turned the monitor off and on again to force the card to re-detect freesync.
