I have noticed the ULPS issue with crossfire on bootup = black screen for a while, seems to be a known issue. Fixed by disabling ULPS.

No problems in win 10 so far. I am running a 7870 on 15.20 and now on 15.7.1 and everything perfect so far.

I've noticed "Put Windows Taskbar on a Single Monitor" in Eyefinity mode does not let you drag the taskbar to the monitor you want it at like in 7, in 10 it will only go to the default monitor and stay there even when you try to drag it. I imagine it is an early bug here, its not really a big deal but something to note.

My laptop (Dell XPS 15) is on Windows 10. Resume from sleep mode is broken, again. I had problems with this in Windows 7 as well, and a driver update fixed it.

Dell doesn't support Windows 10 on this device, so I just ended up disabling sleep mode.

Does anyone's AMD Powerplay not work (ie. 2nd card in XFire should shut down completely)?

I thought mine was working but it seems like it isn't. It definitely was working and now it doesn't seem to be...not really sure what I changed.

I'm having problems with videos buffering but not playing as well as my sound occasionally stopping working. Both are fixed by a reboot, but it's kind of a PITA.

None of the settings I set for 3d applications seem to do anything, and the frame rate limiter doesn't seem to work at all for me. Also, since I got my new 21:9 monitor the VSR setting is always enabled, but in games I don't get any higher resolution than 2560X1080. Other than that it works fine, I was trying to use the framerate limiter or external vsync from CCC to hopefully get games to sync at higher than 60fps since it's a 144Hz monitor, but none of those settings seemed to work for me.

How stable is windows 10 & games with AMD drivers?

It's only a matter of weeks and it'll be out, I'm debating upgrading now. Generally I'd like to dual boot but I would like to just try the upgrade (and later do a format/installation).

My main concern is about games & driver stability.

Is anyone using crossfire on Windows 10?

I'm not interested in "opinions" about XP,7,8.1,10 and why you are sitting on XP so please stick to objective data and rationale (and experience about 10). :D

My current interests at the moment are probably Witcher 3, Civ, and BF4 as well as some older games.

No issues with Win 10 and Witcher 3 here on my 280x OC,using 15.71 drivers, so far all my games run fine ie Origin, Steam,UPlay,Glyph etc...

My CPU is also overclocked as well.

Kinda sucks
