It would be nice if AMD would fix USF IV-AE so I can play full screen. It's only been a year....

They are at least fixing the issues, but my goodness this is a "hotfix....?!" Looks more like a complete fix if you ask me.

There's a chance most of the "known issues" are also in the latest CCC release too

Crimson has from day one been giving me a MAJOR headache, i can't for the life of me turn off crossfire on games that is REQUIRED to turn off crossfire, and it is p***ing me off real bad!

Anyone else having this problem? i can change all settings of a game like antialiasing, the framerate limiter and such but i can't turn off crossfire, which is the most important part.

Ofc not, is not a bug: it's a "feature" but we don't know it yet, like the enforced (or disabled) CFX profiles.

Do I install this hotfix over 16.0 or can i just install this only?

I'm a noob, I just got a used 5970 and am trying to figure out whats is the best installation.

So far installation is successful its running 16.1 installed over
15.7.1 without dotnef 4.5 (since framework 4.5 its already installed)
driver version 15 (had to reboot and reinstall driver)
also
I'm Using FFXIV Heavenward Benchmark
I had to override the >> its stutters with DX11

I installed msi afterburner any tips for the 5970 will be awesome.

I want to use ]] thinking that is will push my card for 50% to
80% when i use the 720p resolution. it seems to only hit 90% when i do 1080p.

Does anyone know how i could use radeon mod on a 4870x2?

Your saying that it doesn't use both GPUs when your in fullscreen mode?
I notice my 4870x2 and the just installed 5970 does that. it only used full load when im using full screen.

Yes Crimson was using both GPUs for Battlefront but the problem is Battlefront DOES NOT SUPPORT OR WORK RIGHT at all with dual AMD GPUs - the framerate goes to **** - from over 60fps to stutter along at about 25-30fps when Crossfire is enabled. I used to be able to DISABLE crossfire in the control panel but not any more. The option to disable crossfire has been REMOVED from the control panel for dual GPU cards so NO WAY to disable it.
It also completely ballsed up my HTPC with HDMI problems and other issues such as AMD 3D driver not working with Stereoscopic player any more.

I given up on Crimson completely and have uninstalled it altogether and reinstalled a previous version (about 14.4) on both machines which actually DO work with the HTPC setup and Star Wars Battlefront (I can actually disable Crossfire at least to get about 60fps with a single GPU).

Fallout 4 is unplayable in CFX Holes and tears in textures. I think I'm just about done with AMD.

So can I finally use my two GPUs in Starwars Battlefront at all yet????

Having to disable Crossfire and have one GPU sitting there idle while the other is running 100% to try and maintain somewhere near 60fps is bloody annoying.

I don't know how anyone with AMD cards are able to run this game at greater than 1920x1200 with only a single GPU being able to be used.

Are they working on this or is it gone forever?It seems to work well for me on my two 7970Ms. However, I have to install only the drivers for 16.1.1 Crimson and then install the Radeon Software only from Crimson 15.1.1 beta drivers and under Preferences->Radeon Additional Settings ticking "Enable AMD Crossfire for DirectX 9/10/11 and OpenGL applications that have no associated application profile" (that setting is curiously missing from the Radeon Software that comes with the 16.1 and 16.1.1 Crimson drivers).
