I dunno why but when I install this driver, my screen's scaling is all FUBAR'd. When I go back to a previous driver it fixes itself. But when I installed the new one again, my scaling is all screwy again and changing options in Windows does nothing.
Its cool, its only a spare PC and I can just skip over this release and wait for the next one. I don't mind. And I don't know if its just me who will/is having issues or not, so don't take my above post like it is going to happen to other people too.

Not such problem for me... Nor anybody else in the forum here. Except you.
Try DDU and install again.

I don't know about scaling, but people have been reporting problems with screen flickering and graphical glitches on the 390/290 series of cards.

AMD has acknowledged it. Could possibly be caused by the same issue.
