Yoh, people are having serious issues with the R9 280/R9 280X card on 16.11.5 running DX12. According to some people on Reddit they are running into ~50% less FPS than they used to receive on 16.11.2. Oh well, time to upgrade.

Can't be too widespread, I haven't see anything on Reddit recently at least nor do I see any mention of it in the fixed bugs or known issues.

Has anyone tried ReLive, I found a hilarious issue with the recording.

I saw some reviews. Better performance than shadowplay.

The performance is maybe too good, I played a couple of games of CSGO where cool stuff happened and I just now realised I could've saved the replay super easily.

The thing that most people online have discovered is if your Windows audio settings are above a certain Hertz the audio recorded is super slow.

Those first couple of clips I saved were epic with slowed down gunfire all around.

Looking forward to this...really pleased AMD are pulling their finger out. Go, Red Team...bring the prices of 1080's down so I can buy one

If you're buying a 1080 you're not helping the situation

Not seeing any issues in FPS performance, actually have ~2% more in PayDay. I don't have any DX12 games to test though, do you know of any free ones? I don't really have a game to benchmark previous performance so might be useless.

That and more - here's a good vid that shows the different features.
