      Installation went just fine, the driver is version 15.11. The new UI is OK - just very different in where things are located. Basic Overclocking features are found under Gaming --> Global. I did not see any new compelling features, no new voltage controls. All said and done, I still like Sapphire Trixx better for managing OC.

      After ~18 hours, performance is on par with the older 15.2 drivers - perhaps a 1% improvement but that is well within the statistical variance of Einstein WUs.

        A 1% improvement that's what I got on my machine with a single r9 270. Doing 1 wu at a time.

            I also installed crimson on an amd cpu with two cards; rx 270x and an rx 250x. Both with 2 wu's and they ran without errors. I don't know about speed improvements. I just wanted to check the configuration.

              I tried 4 times to install it on a 6 core pc with Win7 Ultimate and a 7970 and it failed all 4 times, I gave up and am using the old stuff again. The pc does get updates because it's a Boinc only machine, I wonder if that was the problem?

                After numerous attempts I could not install under Windows 7 Pro until I wiped the computer. I didn't have a problem installing under Windows 8.1 Enterprise.

                  I use win10 64bit ultimate. The amd is 6 core. Automatic updates. I use it for boinc and misc stuff.

                    Mikey,
                    If you still want to mess with it - try running this
                    AMD Clean Uninstall utility on the old drivers first.

                        Did anyone test if this driver fix the problem of invalids when you run 2 or more WU at a time on a R9 390X?
