I believe Mantle allows CFX to work in borderless windowed mode, but it doesn't work in DirectX.
Oh, never knew that, thanks for the info!

Have you uninstalled your older drivers using DDU yet or no?Now for some reason I get hung up right here. It sits here for a few minutes then I get a prompt in the system tray that the driver was not installed correctly, and I can't exit or do anything other than manually restart my computer. 14.11.2 beta drivers work fine but the new Omega drivers just WILL not install. I'm using Win7 64 bit and selected that on the download page "amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit.exe".
I get the hang up when I just try installing on top of my 14.11.2 drivers. When I actually UNINSTALL the old drivers and install the Omega drivers from scratch, I actually get a crash during the install of the new drivers.

That's odd. Hm, I'm not sure what to suggest then. You could try running DDU in normal mode?Unfortunately I can't use DDU. I can use DriverSweeper, and manually delete everything else, but something is wrong with my Safe Mode (it automatically restarts when I boot into safe mode and I can never actually log in). Haven't felt like re-formatting but I have been unable to find another way around the issue.

i hope i can see some improvements with my 7950... won't be right if only the rebrands got improvements
not even close.. not even rebrands got any improvement.. most (almost all in fact) of the good stuff of these drivers are for R9 285 and R9 290(X) people, we are out of the list..
your 7950 is old you are expecting new features to be released for it?
It's so old AMD is still selling it under diffrent name.
you still get the driver bug fixes and updated profiles.

Just adding my experiences, in that the new Omega 14.12 didn't work for me. Ran DDU to clean out the old beta 14.11 drivers, and installed Omega. The install went through fine, but never prompted for a restart or anything. Just ended. After a manual restart, my 1080 resolution was NOT auto detected, instead i was at 800x600. No Aero transparency, missing borders in the notification area, i lost the Sleep option for shutdown (wtf?), and trying to right-click and start CCC gave me an error that it couldnt start because there was nothing to configure. Ran DDU and tried a second time, got all the same problems. Ran DDU a third time and went back to Beta 14.11's, no problems.

I've communicated back to AMD that they should make this more obvious / transparent to end users, as I've seen a lot of confusion here and on Reddit. I myself had the same problem when I tried to install the Windows 8.1 drivers from my Windows 8 box on my other Windows 7 PC.Haha I did this like 3 times and was like WTF.. I downloaded the drives from the link and with out looking installed them.. Well they were windows 8 drivers and not windows 7 drivers. So for a few people that are posting there not working make sure your getting the right drivers. There not windows 8/7 any more there is a Windows 7 pack and a windows 8 pack.
One difference I've seen so far between Nvidia vs. AMD is that AMD is only fixing old ass games, while Nvidia is actually supporting game that matters.
Example, lastest NVIDIA beta got support for Elite dangerous, while this omega driver is talking about tomb raider and farcry 2, not to mention hit man absolution? who the fuck still play it.

I've been playing League of Legends and Diablo 3 for quite some time, I would definitely like more FPS for those
Question: Is Windowed gaming CrossFire mode supported? If not, will it be in the future?
RH: Windowed CrossFire is not supported at this time, however we well understand that community desires this feature.
Thank you to Robert Hallock for the answers.
You installed the wrong drivers. There are separate installation packages for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. If you try and install the wrong package it will successfully install CCC but nothing else, and you'll see the behavior you described.
The G92 chip used in the 8800 GT was used in 3 generations of cards and it was no secret. AMD is nearly just as bad at rebranding if not worse. Most cards they have out now are rebrands, some of which go back 2 or 3 generations.Nvidia is the master of rebranding. That 8800GT (or was it the GTS 512mb?) was around for probably 4 or 5 generations.
That is on next year's bug fix driver...Go figure, FFXIV crashing bug is still around a year later.
The industry has practically TRAINED people to wait on games if at all possible. You can either buy a new game that's essentially an almost-finished beta for $60, or you can wait a year or so for a Steam sale and get a highly patched version for $5-10. Unless you have to play the latest thing out or there's a multiplayer component that can't wait, there's no incentive whatsoever to play new mainstream games now.A very large segment of gamers don't care about the latest crap (no pun intended) that has defined the gaming experience in the last couple years.
There appears to be a corrupt file in there somewhere. I got a box that said unsigned drivers were trying to be installed (for the display driver and the HDMI audio driver). I rebooted and allowed unsigned drivers and it looked like it installed, except the screen didn't go black and come back on like it usually does when the driver is updated. I tried installing manually from device manager and that's when it said it was unsuccessful and that there might be a corrupt file.
I used DDU in safe mode and normal mode, no good.
Went to reinstall 14.9 (after DDU for the 3rd time) and... UNSIGNED DRIVER!
Had to run system restore.
Try again AMD.
Did you download the correct driver for your operating system? There are different packages for Windows 7 and Windows 8, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.From the other 14.12 thread:

I wonder if it fixes anything with The Crew. There's a stuttering issue that gets on my nerves.
Installing tonight.
They will be adding VSR support to all cards R7 260 and up in a future driver release. That information was posted on this very page just a few posts up from you:So next year can we expect 290/290x owners to be left in the cold when they release the next official yearly driver update? because if this is AMD's new modus operandi going forward than they just made my next graphic card purchase an easy choice. I don't normally complain about not receiving free stuff, but when the competition fully supports the previous generation cards with full feature functionality on kepler cards, the AMD value proposition suddenly doesnt look so good to me anymore.
Seems like Nvidia always gets all of the cool new stuff first with AMD playing catch up like always, but now theyre on a yearly release schedule with no hope of receiving the copy cat features until the end of the year, sounds like torture if you ask me.
Question: Will VSR work on 21:9 ratio displays? If not now, in the future?
RH: We are exploring additional resolution/refresh combinations beyond what was provided in AMD Catalyst Omega, but we have not determined the complete matrix. However, we do intend to extend 4K downsampling to all R9 and R7 Series products, 260 and up, with a driver in the Jan/Feb timeframe.
