Was anybody actually experiencing this that they have fixed it now? I have seen at least 10 people in this board alone, including myself, who are experiencing the clock bug with 79XX/280 cards and this is not even acknowledged in this driver; yet I don't remember seeing anybody reporting the issue mentioned in the changelog...
A random blank or colored screen may be experienced intermittently on some Radeon RX 400 series products while gaming.

the clock bug where it drops to UVD speed (850mhz) all of a sudden for NO ****ING REASON and fps drops to 40 because of it lol. Im so ****ing pissed....up till now the drivers have been great for this card...How they **** up cards this old?
I thought UVD for for like playing videos and stuff...Why the GD driver clock down in the middle of a game?
Im very much interested in if someone has found a work around or something to this issue....games dont play very good at 850mhz
Near as i can tell clock blocker and radeon mod have no effect on correcting this bug either..really sucks!
I cant speak for others but i have indeed reported it as a driver bug to AMD.

Thanks, and thanks also to @Luke7 (http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5329031&postcount=80)
16.8.3 (16.300) vs 16.8.2 (16.300) vs 16.6.2 (16.200)
Firestrike: http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/9997140/fs/9857309/fs/9803001
Still better scores for me on the 16.200 branch of drivers; same with the API overhead on DX11 being higher on this newer branch (for me at least).
