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

After some time using these new drivers I'm finding they crash Fallout 4 quite a bit...

Still getting driver crash/BSoD when using madVR for playback.

Just what did they change in 16.X version to produce such problem?
