Seems to only go up to 3200x1800 on my brother's 290 setup. Looks nice they need to add more resolutions.

Amazing, fixed the stutter I had in FC3 in all previous drivers (still need to cap the fps to 59 though). Now it's a constant 59 fps.:banana:

try with DVI input. the new features have requirements and are very limited, above all VSR.

I was so excited to try the new VSR feature, but I couldn't find anything called VSR anywhere in CCC. After checking the "Meet Omega" article on guru3d, I found out that VSR is only supported on AMD Radeon R9 295X2/R9 290X/R9 290/R9 285 at the moment and doesn't work on HD7950/7970, looks like I got hyped up for nothing. 🙁

I was so excited to try the new VSR feature, but I couldn't find anything called VSR anywhere in CCC. To prevent further confusion, I think it is worth mentioning that VSR is only supported on AMD Radeon R9 295X2/R9 290X/R9 290/R9 285 at the moment and doesn't work on HD7950/7970. 🙁
That is right, will try to install my card as 285/290 today if it bugs in. Other than that: GVR in Raptr is finally enabled for my HD7970 Did anyone test already on APU like a10-7850k? Or on dual graphics systems (APU+dGPU)? Even notebook with 384+384 SP.

Not sure if it means anything but the Guru3D driver and the AMD website driver seem to differ. From the Guru3D download.

Mobility vs Desktop Unless the mobility is the same as the desktop one and the only difference is Guru vs AMD.
