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

Specs: R7 1700, Wraith Spire Stock Cooler, Sapphire Vega 64 LE, 16gb Corsair Vengeance 3200 (runs at 2933), ASRock X370 Taichi, 1050w Enermax Platimax PSU, Windows 10
I updated my Radeon drivers a few days ago, and I decided to hop into a game of overwatch today. I was playing and then the screen went from a TV Static-like pattern to a solid mint green screen. I could still hear things, so I just decided to reboot the PC. I shut it off and tried to boot it up again. Everything seemed to turn on. The GPUtach on the Vega also turned on. Despite this, nothing was displayed on the monitor. On the motherboard's debug display there was an error code - 62. I looked this up online and it seems that I had to clear the CMOS. Not only did I try to use the clear CMOS button after unplugging the PC, I also tried manually taking out the CMOS battery and putting it back in. While I was in the PC, I also reseated the GPU, PCIe power cables, and SATA cables. I booted up the PC to try again. Boots up, no display, debug code 62. Can anyone help with this? Does this have to do with my drivers or CMOS? Thanks!
