    Does Mirror's Edge Catalyst support DirectX 12? I haven't been able to find any information on this one way or the other.

    AFAIK, no.

    Disappointing to hear.

    I hope they improve Xfire's Frametimes

    Finally Crossfire for Dark Souls 3! It is not scaling all that well for me but still not bad and better late than never

    Yes! I have been waiting for a Dark Souls 3 crossfire profile for ages. The optimise 1x1 scaled well but had flickering artifacts. I'll report back after trying this profile.

    Have tested it out thoroughly now. It's scaling even better than it did with optimise 1x1. I was getting ~35 fps at 3840 x 2160 with 1 R9 Nano and now I'm at a locked 60 with 1 R9 Nano and 1 R9 Fury Crossfire. It could be scaling at 100%, but no way to tell due to the 60 fps lock. Are you sure your crossfire is enabled? I don't see how I could be getting up to 100% scaling and yours is 'not that well'. One thing that I had to do was disable AMD Crimson power saving, with that on it wasn't working at all for me.

    Could be a 280x or any older card. CrossFireX for Hawaii cards and newer is a completely different system from older cards.

    Damn, AMD beat Nvidia to the punch with a AAA-title driver. Its pretty darn rare for that to happen. These were available early yesterday (6/6), Nvidia just released theirs today (6/7).

    AMD was first with the Doom driver as well.
  • Strom- - Tuesday, June 7, 2016 - link

    Although, AMD had to release an updated Doom driver later for some specific cards. So the quick initial release wasn't without sacrifices.

    And Total Warhammer, NV had some nasty issues as well on launch as far as I could tell.
  • Morawka - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

    and just look at that, it's not a BETA
  • blppt - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

    Well, its a "hotfix" which to me does not mean final---heck, they still list the 16.3.2 drivers as the most recent official, stable release.

    Given some issues Nvidia has had with WHQL drivers, Beta or not on the whole isn't indicative of any quality or lack of it.

    No mention of Crossfire crashes in Overwatch? ;(
  • DCRussian - Tuesday, June 7, 2016 - link

    What cards are you running? I have two R9 290s and haven't had crashes due to CF yet.
  • abhaxus - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

    with the last driver I was unable to play more than 15s without a crash. New one works fine however! Still had flickering in the menus but the game was very stable, played about 3 hours with no issues.

    2x 290s, 4k, getting around 55fps average. I used low preset then manually set render to 100 and enabled every setting to "low" instead of off, textures at high. Game looks great.

    Doom performance took a huge dump for me with 16.6.1, took me awhile to realize this, went back to 16.5.3 and back to normal now (R9 290X).

    I like the good cadence of drive updates from AMD, but it has an annoying side effect for me. I still play Sims 3 a lot, and every time I update my driver, all of the game settings get reset! Not just the graphics options, but even the gameplay options! Oh well, we deal with what we have!
