AMD released its latest Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers. Version 16.4.2 adds or updates CrossFire profiles for "Elite Dangerous" and "Need for Speed" (2016). It introduces full support for the XConnect Technology, an external graphics dock standard promoted by AMD. The drivers also fix crucial game-specific bugs related to "The Division," "SteamVR performance assessment," "Hitman (2016)" with CrossFire, and "Fallout 4" with CrossFire. Grab the drivers from the links below.

Installed, no dramas.

I will give this a try when I get home.

The Division still runs like crap with Crossfire on, but at least no more Epilepsy inducing flicking.

as much as i love my 7970, the 280x i had was total garbage despite being effectively the same card. They're the worst cards either company has released in a long time, stability wise.

Yeah Ive had enough of these cards, nothing but problems with them in crossfire and with the new drivers, only one that runs these cards good in crossfire is 15.7, anything past that and it just breaks all my games. I need a card that does OpenGL also so ill be getting a GTX 970 most likely with the sale of my two cards.
