From the release notes:
"This driver provides support for Windows® 10 as well as full WDDM 2.0 and DirectX® 12 support which is available on all AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN) products, - AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 and newer graphics products.***8203;"
Still doesn't show Feature Level 12.0 support for my R9 290:
Does that come later or is there something broken?

No support for HD6320 of course. All but this one are supported. There is no reason to don't put the goddamn strings for HD6320. So I definitely won't choose AMD hardware for my PC.

The release notes insist that I can get 3200*1800 VSR with my 7970/280x. Somebody should at least update them, or tell us what is required.

Driver is later (1062.1002 vs 1046). Also the AMD Audio driver has been updated.

I haven't installed them yet (I'm uploading the DLL). It seems that the base driver went from 1046.2 to 1062. Seems like a pretty substantial difference, and they also promise general performance increases in the release notes.

Why are there 2 threads with same driver links?
And what is the difference between win 10 and win 8.1 in performance and i mean both fps and frametimes in games like witcher 3, ACU, FC4, etc? Don't need to know about the draw calls.
Is it stable yet?
Is the driver installation problem solved where some have mentioned that they couldn't disable win update or that the driver crashes?
And last but not least, clean install or just upgrade from win 8.1 directly into win 10?

Hi
Can somebody tell me if DDU is safe to use in win10 ?
I also upgraded to win10 and seems like everything driver related has carried over to win10 I also have vsr, frame limiter and package version is ?!?!?
15.20-150715a-184226E
yeah it is, i used it in safe mode couple of times today, no issues at all. But i would combine it with the old driver sweeper, seems ddu doesn't find all the remains.
