List of Known Issues is nearly as long as the fixes. *longer [410367] System black hangs/BSOD upon resuming from S3/S4 sleep on AMD Radeon™ R9 285 configured in AMD CrossFire™ mode [410398] A black screen may be experienced when attempting to enable Eyefinity after changing the display mode (Portrait, Landscape)

Even so I doubt there is any difference. Comparing them to 13.12 .. sure. Vs .. 14.11.2 .. nope.

I will still test the driver

Looking at all the people having issues with the Omega drivers, I've decided to wait for the next release on my main computer. I am interested in some of the features they are adding, but seeing as I have an R9 280 series I see no reason to update drivers yet. I plan on getting an AMD 380/390 when they come out next year, hopefully these "Omega/kick in the pants that AMD needed" drivers will continue to improve and make those cards amazing. FYI - I've seen a good amount of people noticing or complaining about older cards (78xx, 79xx, 280) not getting any love, but most of those cards are very nearly 3 years old. I know AMD is saying they will bring new features to the older cards at a later date, but for me it is R9 290's or newer cards getting the focus from now on and I'm fine with that.

You have to realize that older cards might not have gotten enough love to begin with. Sure they age.. but when it takes AMD to fix 1 year old bugs just for old games .. who is really counting.

Haha, too true. That is why I stuck with my good old HD6870 until 6 months ago when I finally got my 280 working properly most of the time. DX:HR still will not start no matter what driver I use, but 99% of other stuff works fine. You make a great point about the age and time to fix bugs, I totally agree, but I guess I've just become accustomed to the fact that 1 year in electronics and I expect almost no support or improvements. I know, that is bleak and exaggerated, but you get my drift. I really hope that AMD gets their act together hardware and software wise with this new momentum the Omega drivers seems to have created. These GPU wars always go in waves and it is AMD's turn to be on top for a bit...at least I hope for our sake they can pull it off...a world with only nVidia and Intel sounds too expensive for me. 🙂 BACK ON TOPIC - Anybody with an R9 280/280X had any success or improvements with these Omega drivers?

I thought the idea of Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) was cool until i seen: Available on AMD Radeon™ R9 290 series, and AMD Radeon R9 285 GPUs. I was hoping for support for older 7900 series

Our old cards has been long forgotten by AMD. Mantle doesn't work properly on our cards yet and dx12 isn't that far away. They forcing us to buy new cards and i payed lot's of money not to long ago. Was excited for the price/performance ratio on these cards and mantle but I clearly don't know AMD. I know I'm moaning a lot but I won't Go amd again. once nvidia releases their next cards after 900 series I will go with that for sure.

You and I have the same feelings. I was happy to see them rebuild the 7900 to a 280x. I thought wow they will support us for a while. How hard can it be since they are still selling new versions of the exact same card... just one driver fix for both series. BUT the reality is the 280x people are forgotten as well. At least we are promised DX12. But probably with lack of features that they could bring down. Just not in the budget or decided not to do it. I wonder what the real purpose of GCN 1.0 was since they never really did anything with it.

I think they scared people might not buy the r9 290x or r9 285.

Went from 117fps to 130fps in BF4. So far so good.
