AMD released the Catalyst 15.7 WHQL driver suite, its first WHQL-signed Catalyst driver in 212 days (since 14.12 Omega). These drivers add official support for all the new AMD Radeon R9 300 series and R9 Fury series graphics processors launched in the past two months, and comes with a ship load of new features and game optimizations. They also include WDDM 2.0 support, letting you use them with Windows 10.

To begin with, Catalyst 15.7 WHQL adds support for AMD FreeSync in CrossFire setups, on DirectX 10 and higher 3D applications. Features such as VSR (virtual super-resolution) and FRTC (frame-rate target control) are now official. CrossFire profiles have been added/improved for over a dozen games since 14.12 Omega. Frame-rates have been increased for Far Cry 4 and Tomb Raider.

So far I've only run GTA V, Hitman Absolution, and Doom 3 BFG Edition (Lost Mission), but I've not had any of the graphics or freezing or crashing problems on my 7970 some are mentioning.

Maybe it's more likely to happen on newer cards when the scaling is pushed to higher virtual resolutions.

On a single 280X (MSI Gaming) it runs perfectly fine, no issues at all, got a RMA for the Second 280X (so its a brand new card) and hooked it up to crossfire and freezes in all games within 5mins. Shame as I got from average 61FPS in Tomb Raider to 95FPS in crossfire but to lock up minutes later. getting sick of these issues.

thats almost always a system RAM issue. i'm certainly not having that issue on these drivers.

It's a well known driver bug which affects the display.

Posting since this is a little random:

my 7970 never had the VSR tickbox on these drivers.
my 280x did.
I ran crossfire with the 280x as the master, then with the 7970 as master (by switching the HDMI cable between them and rebooting) and the tickbox remained.

Now with just the 7970, the VSR tickbox is visible. I got no idea how that makes sense.
