Interestingly, this is the same wording as for the 15.15 Beta which supports the R300- and Fury-Series and that gives a large tessellation boost.

Thanks!

I'm on modded 15.15beta on my R9 290X so I will grab these and compare driver version. If this driver contains same improvements as 15.15 with working OpenCL then I'm very happy! (modded drivers breaks OpenCL device for GPU)

EDIT: New driver is not going to replace my modded driver as it claims my driver is newer! Will have to uninstall or wait for even newer driver or Fury X to arrive
