On reddit they're saying that the official release will happen only few weeks later than now and that this is the press driver. So this should be considered as a Beta driver. To avoid any confusion I ask the OP to change the name to the thread to take that in consideration.
Damn, few weeks is so far away. Well, we may get even more fixes/optimizations in future WHQL certified release.

It is kind of a brand new system for me, last Tuesday I finally got the ram for it and upgraded from an AMD FX 8120 BE to Intel I5 6600k, so motherboard, and ram. Won the silicon lottery I do believe with my cpu. That is a a different forum. :banana:
Your 3dmark improvement was nice considering the cpu part was actually lower running with the newer drivers :P

Here's witcher 3 on the same scenery. http://oi64.tinypic.com/33ojnrq.jpg Up is Crimson Down is Catalyst The difference is within the margin of error, however i did test this twice, with Crimson witcher takes up 1150mb Vram memory while on the old CCC it took only 900mb. I wonder what that might be ;o.

Must be Shader Cache, try it off & check again.
Just tried it and no.. still 1150 at least.

Cons: *No super resolution for my CRT monitor, not sure if this is an AMD thing but NVIDIA supported it even in my old 9 series card. *Didn't find an option to change the language *This still happens for me: http://i.imgur.com/uEyREQp.png Pros: *Much faster loading *Pleasant UI *Didn't notice anything missing from the profile configuration options this leaked driver is probably not the real thing I guess we have to wait for the official release
Does this driver contain the 15.11.1 beta? I liked my FO4 improvements.
Mine says version 15.11

I'm a bit confused, Is Beta 7 driver the expected release and is it all we are going to get for now? Or it's just a driver that leaked and an official release is expected soon? Ttrying to figure out if it's worth uninstalling driver and getting Beta 7.
The official release is live @ AMD Crimson 15.11

It's intentional since 1023.3, that is the last driver with support of VSR on crt. If you want to use it the only way is to put atikmdag.sys from that driver with other dlls in the newest driver install folder. Don't know if it will work with crimson though.

CCC is still there and kinda awkward. You just need to click on "settings" and then click on the first button which says smth like "more radeon settings". And there it is: CCC pops up.

Damn that's a shame, I'll try that later but I doubt it will work, probably alot has changed in the files

First time I ever hit 1.3M in drawcalls, I'll be posting my results later. Running benchmarks now, they do take a while. Edit: I'm talking about the official Crimson drivers from AMD, I never installed the betas to test.

Just a heads up - Flip Queue Size is indeed working differently. Tested only on one game, DX9, the default FQS is now 1 (minimum) instead of 3. It's not placebo - you can benchmark the game to see a corresponding drop in fps when FQS is lowered. It will be interesting to see if FQS now works on DX11, and whether RadeonPro settings interfere with, or have any effect on it.
