Have you confirmed the 290/390 flickering issue is fixed or are you just going by what the notes say?

These drivers are very nice for me in Fallout 4, feels a bit smoother compared to 16.3.2

I'm not getting any flickering after updating to these, but I was only getting it when watching youtube in chrome on one screen and using IE (needed for some older work apps) on the other screen

I got my Crossfire questions answered. Thanks to everyone for their help and patience. I wished AMD would detail their changes in the ChangeLog better. It certainly wasn't clear that they moved the Crossfire option tabs
