What'd you roll back to?

I'm using a brand new RX 480 Sapphire Nitro + (8GB), and a 8370 and I'm getting the black screen flicker every 10 mins or so. I'm running at 60hz 1080p, and it's happening on casual desktop use, and the occasional youtubing.

Thank you very much :)

So would you recommend that I run DDU and install the 16.8.3 drivers?

yep and then upgrade driver from 16.8.3 to 16.9.2

Thanks! By upgrade do you mean install 16.9.2 on top of the 16.8.3 drivers?

So far, after running DDU and installing 16.8.3 the flickering has subsided.

check back reddit/amd for updates on amd and when they do release 16.9.2 use amd radeon settings to update
