thnx! btw, this release has mantle built in. not that we can really use it yet... oh and initial dx12 mgpu support, amd/NVidia slifire!
 
You mean Vulkan. I had the beta driver installed before so I couldn't really tell if it was a leftover from that or not, and they haven't updated Radeon Settings to report the version number.
 
Added SteamVR multi-GPU support? Nice! Will have to test that later.
 
Later...

Awesome! These drivers make my 280x cards VR Ready! :)

I know what u mean So I think it's a big pass, however I think im gona redo the process with these + Vulkan drivers as you did because I suffered from the display corruption after long idle which is annoying as it force me to restart both machines and they are 24/7 machines so its kinda annoying.
