you know... When you actually look at the known issues they are quite specific and not really game breaking. I mean for me and my 290 not one impacts me.
 
A big known issue that they haven't resolved yet =
> AMD CCC restores Mem/Core overclocks on boot but doesn't restore voltage resulting in a black screen if you are doing a memory overclock which requries overvoltage to boot up.

I can't run my card pas 1300 because of this and there is no workaround.

I just run my boot clocks at stock volts and load in my higher voltage profile as needed using MSI afterburner.

if i restart with those higher clocks applied, it automatically applies them at boot, even if i have afterburner uninstalled

So glad that they fixed this one. I posted it on Reddit and they released the drivers about a week or so later. :)
 
My crossfire 290x setup crashes everytimeI launch a DX11 game with any 16.9.x series driver. Sometimes a stupid message appears that "WattMan restored my default power settings." WTF?! Just stock clocks here - no overclock or voltage adjustments. I thought WattMan was only supposed to come up on the 400 series anyway?

Sounds like you need to run DDU.

There is a workaround.
Either install the latest version of MSI afterburner which deletes the regkey which loads the last applied clocks, or delete the key manually after applying clocks.

REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000 /v PP_CNEscapeInput /f

The key which holds the "stored" RAM and GPU clocks is PP_CNEscapeInput

Is there any option that i need to enable in afterburner or does it do it by default?
 
there's a new tick-box at the very bottom of the settings panel in beta 14.

I always do a clean install. Tried you way anyway and it didn't work. Still getting a message saying general wattman settings restored after system failure. Going back to 16.8.3.
 
The Windows 10 Anniversary update hosed my PC. What I ended up doing was looking on Microsoft's website and grabbing the latest ISO that already has the Anniversary Edition patched in. Reinstalled Windows 10 and now everything works. It hosed Digital Foundry's Win 10 install also, and you can hear them talk about it in this video at the 3:50 section.
