"- Optimized AMD CrossFire™ profile for Far Cry 4" Where the hell is it? I go into "use pre-defined AMD profile" and there is no Far Cry 4 profile anywhere, just Far Cry 3 and 2 and blood dragon. What gives? I can't find the crossfire profile for FC4 and therefore cannot test the new drivers performance, someone please help. Edit: Fck me, I just read the release notes. WTF, AMD?

it means its a driver profile, you dont get to control that. Use atiapfxx.exe in the Application Profiles folder to generate a large XML of what’s in the .BLB file.

Good performance in BF4, but just crashed after 20 minutes of play.

hello again i already tested it w/ patch 1.3.0 latest patch for farcry4 and this what i got from v1.0 farcry4 v1.0 + amd 14.11.1 = 83 fps base on maximum farcry4 v1.0 + amd 14.11.2 = 84 fps base on maximum only 1fps after patching 1.3.0 farcry4 v1.3.0 + amd 14.11.2 = 110 fps base on maximum from 84fps it gains 26 fps i ddnt test it w/ 14.11.1 this enough for me i dont know if the patch did it or the driver.

Far cry 4 is sitting with the same issue. It will use 99% of one core and almost none of the others. i'm on 4790k so if that cpu can't even handle this game then I don't know what cpu will. It looks like Ubisoft don't know how to optimize a game. After seeing how crap some games run all I can say is that BF4 is actually the best coding I've seen in years. Another game is borderlands 2 and pre sequel.

I call BS, mantle crossfire is just as ****house as its been since july 14th patch/dlc. Tonights bf4 patch/dlc one of its last we shall see if anything has been fixed.

Do I really need to download these betas if I primarily use crossfire in FC4 ? It seems like crossfire users got shafted, can somebody report how is performance with crossfire in FC4 with this set of drivers compared to previous set of drivers (14.11.1) ? Thnx in advance.

I guess you are using frame limiter with MSI Afterburner. Try disabling it. I had same "problem" with FC3 as well with FC4 and it is actually not a problem, just an implementation of afterburner frame limiter. Other frame limiters does not cause 100% core3 cpu usage on FC3 and FC4. There is no performance difference with others frame limiters.
