Watch out for AMD crimson driver problems!

It have happend to me and it have happend to quite many using those drivers with Radeon cards from the 200 series to the 300's.

 

The Crimson part of the driver will throttle the GPU, causing black screens, game crashes and not the least uneven FPS. So far, AMD haven't come up with a fix for this.

 

The soloution is to either get the 15.11 beta driver and do a clean uninstallation of the Crimson. This, by using the Display Driver Uninstaller ( In safe mode that is ) after you have unistalled the display driver it self.

Or download the Clock Blocker tool. First, run MSI Afterburner and have the GPU monitor OSD checked . Then run the game again with Clock Blocker + Afterburner enabled to compair results. This soloution might not work for 100% though.

Also, be aware of that in the Crimson drivers, the power management are enabled by defaults under the global settings. You might want to disable that.
