No changes to wildlands sli profile then :-/ edit , nvm I read on seems they did
Yeah it's not listed under the 378.78 notes and instead it's under the full 378.xx changes in that PDF since Wildlands support was part of a earlier 378.xx driver already from what I've read. 🙂 (378.66 - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=231683934&postcount=38 ) (Newer drivers can still contain further optimizations or tweaks of course.)

Does this driver give better sli support for Wildlands? The latest driver uses alternate frame rendering just....

Meh almost no gains in Deus Ex MD 378.77 - 67.5FPS 378.78 - 68.3FPS I guess it's not one of the titles they optimized

Which would be amusing if that was the case since there's like 10 DX12 games at the moment lol.
