It wasn't such a long time ago that people complained how some AAA game could be weeks old, yet there wasn't an optimised driver from AMD out for it. Nothing forces you to install these drivers of little difference, especially if you aren't playing the games mentioned, but I'm sure these will make happy those who happen to like new games. Personally, I'm only updating the drivers every now and then, when I feel like it. But then again, I'm not a heavy gamer and mostly play a bit older games. It doesn't exactly drive me crazy I get a brief new driver available notice in the corner of the screen when I launch Windows.
What are these useless updates ? Really, instead of trying somehow to optimise the existing game, to squish out every performance from Vega or from older GCN 1.0 cards like HD 77xx+, they release a driver with 2 supported games and 3 "little" fixes.

Weak driver. No wddm 2.3 support. Ver 1709 rs4 17004 build. Nvidia is far ahead again. :'(

So far so good, haven't stressed it much (BF4) but seems stable enough. Updated through 17.9.1, 2. & now 3. had to enable FPS limit 300, was 200 previously. As well as the Power limit to 50% under Global WattMan. TriXX 6.4 working fine, bump on gpu voltage 15%. Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X. Hard to tell of course when your fps is above refresh rates.
