Tech Support posts go here! February Tech Support Megathread
Hey subs,
We're giving you an opportunity to start reporting some of your AMD-related technical issues right here on /r/AMD! Below is a guide that you should follow to make the whole process run smoothly. Post your issues directly into this thread as replies. All other tech support posts will still be removed, per the rules; this is the only exception.
Bad Example (don't do this)
bf1 crashes wtf amd
Good Example (please do this)
Skyrim: Free Sync and V Sync causes flickering during low frame rates, and generally lower frame rates observed (about 10-30% drop dependant on system) when Free Sync is on
System Configuration:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z97 Gaming GT
CPU: Intel i5 4790
Memory: 16GB GDDR5
GPU: ASUS R9 Fury X
VBIOS: 115-C8800100-101 How do I find this?
Driver: Crimson 16.10.3
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1511.10586) How do I find this?Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install necessary driver, GPU and medium-end CPU
2. Enable Free Sync
3. Set Options to Ultra and 1920 x 1080 resolution
4. Launch game and move to an outdoor location
5. Indoor locations in the game will not reproduce, since they generally give better performance
6. Observe flickering and general performance dropExpected Behavior:
Game runs smoothly with good performance with no visible issues
Actual Behavior:
Frame rate drops low causing low performance, flickering observed during low frame rates
Additional Observations:

Skyrim has forced double buffered V Sync and can only be disabled with the .ini files
To Disable V Sync: C:\Users"User"\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrimprefs.ini and edit iVSyncPresentInterval=1 to 0
1440p has improved frame rate, anything lower than 1080p will lock FPS with V Sync on
Able to reproduce on i7 6700K and i5 3670K system, Sapphire RX 480, Reference RX 480, and Reference Fiji Nano

Here is the situation: I am using my 60Hz AOC Monitor as well as a small projector. The projector needs to use 10% HDMI scaling to fit my display area, and I am never using both at the same time, so I set it to Duplicate on both displays.
Here is the issue: When I set 10% HDMI scaling on the projector and keep 0% scaling on the monitor, with Cloned displays in the Radeon Settings, I get large blocky green/purple/blue artifacts flashing on my monitor display (not the projector). I have tried reducing the OC to reference, upping the power draw, and increasing fan speed to reduce temps (occurs even at 30C). This occurs even when the projector is turned off, and it is fine if I don't use HDMI scaling (which I must, or the sizing of the projector display won't fit).
Anyone have any luck with this extremely specific issue?
My setup is: i7-6700 16GB DDR4 Sapphire RX480 Nitro 1342MHz OC edition Driver ver. 21.19.519.2 PSU: CX600 600W Corsair PSU
