Too bad it doesn't support hd6xxxx mobile graphics cards like 16.2.1 so it looks like I'm stuck with that one unless I upgrade my gpu which isn't very likely.

Anyone know if this fixes the ethereum mining issues that 16.3 introduced?

I wonder if that means they're finally addressing the ffxiv issues. Hope so.

Look right below the 15.12 downloads, you'll see the download link for Crimson Edition 16.3.1 Hotfix - 3/17/2016... with the same orange download button along side.

When I looked the first time I only saw the old drivers and going back again I now see it right below them. Thanks for the links.

Doubt it, FFXIV has been on their known issues since last June/July when Heavensward launched.

Just stay in DX9 mode and forget DX11 mode ever existed, especially if you do Duty Finder or Raids.

I have CF and Eyefinity. It's horrible. lol

But even DX9 has problems now. I tried using it the other day and still couldn't get CF to work properly.

Ethereum mining is slightly better than the last build, but mostly still borked. 5-7 MH/s slower.

I tried installing this one, which didn't work on my laptop of course, so I had to revert back to 16.2.1. Looks like I'm stuck there with my old gpu.

Fixed nothing. sad.

For some reason AMD hasn't realize that the MMO Genre is HUGE!!!

I think of the last 10 MMOs I played, there has been a laundry list of issues with AMD GPUs, and if you have an AMD CPU - well then.

I have to use DX9 mode on my 290X rig or get a random black screen in DX11 :/

I seriously want to support AMD. But I also want to play my freakin games. I can manage with not best settings but not supporting crossfire or eyefinity is just terribad. I'm actively shopping the used market for stop-gap from nvidia right now. I've never owned nvidia before but this is enough to make me leave AMD.

IIRC Nvidia has their own issues with sli and multimonitors. It is odd that after all these years and what seems to be the high adoption rate they these companies would have the issues worked out.

I used GTX 670 SLI + triple 1080p (for a very short time) and I tested Just Cause 2, Saints Row 4, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 4, Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3. They were all fine, or at least none of the problems were driver/card side.

Eyefinity usually works reasonably well on older games, but on something like ffxiv - where it WAS supported and IS stamped with AMD's "Gold" Eyefinity cert (http://support.amd.com/en-us/recommended/eyefinity-software#k=#s=81), and support was pulled without warning and for apparently no reason, even with one card running instead of two....

completely unacceptable.

Likewise crossfire was also supported officially for quite some time. Then that was pulled as well without warning and for apparently no reason.

Both were supported together officially for quite some time as well. Then that was pulled as well without warning and for apparently no reason.
