I just hope that near 29th we will see a new driver 16.7 with will bring RX 400 series support and will bring also the new Overdrive app
so that way I could use build-in gpu tweak app and stop using MSI Afterburner (with btw I use since like 5 years now)

I hope it will be as good or even better in some way then MSI Afterburner. (finger crossed)

16.6.2 and no i dont think we are gonna have support for new overdrive in the beggining.

The driver will be 16.6.2 if it does indeed come, 16.7 would be July's release

The second number is always the current month with AMD ie 16.6 = year 2016 month june

i've been having problems lately with browsing sites like dai*******n and *clears throat* brazzers... Every browser acts the same, Edge, Firefox, Chrome... I can open one or two videos fine, but the more videos I open the more CPU and memory gets used and the PC is unusable until I close the browser. Not so much the videos, but the menus and buttons I have the feeling are not working as smooth as possible

dai*******n ?

Daikon something something??



Well I guess...I've read enough "quality" manga and such to know it's a fairly versatile vegetable so...

Anyway enough about that.

You mean something this mentioned here right?
https://m.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4nfrog/1661-still-causing-video-playback-corruption/

Random flashing black "flicker" on tabs with HW acceleration with Firefox / IE / Chrome in newer Crimson drivers and general browser stability issues.

It seems to be a clock issue with VRAM not properly initializing low power state since one of the 16.5.x drivers on certain GPU models (Even with power efficiency off.) so disabling HW acceleration seems to be the most simple solution although manually setting clock speeds via a utility like Afterburner could possibly also work (It's the suggested method in the Reddit URL I posted.) although I have not tested it myself, enforcing constant voltage via AB could perhaps work too but would mean it will run in 3D speed mode thus with a higher power draw and a slight temp increase.

As the Reddit post mentions it's fairly common after watching a Youtube or similar HTML5 / Flash (with HW acceleration enabled.) video and then some websites just behave erratically and can even cause the display driver to actually crash. (And hopefully then gracefully reset without a PC restart being required.)

I'm not quite sure on the posts saying this could potentially damage the GPU itself but the unstable power fluctuation or what it is causing this if it's not properly initializing the lower clock state is problematic already if it's causing display driver crashes though if it can be proven to actually be detrimental to the GPU hardware itself that would make it a pretty critical issue so hopefully AMD has a fix planned for it in a upcoming driver already.
(There seems to be several people who have sent reports about this behavior both on sites like this here on Reddit and AMD's own support forum and their form for error reporting.)
