Great been waiting for this
It's no wonder gpu drivers are so big now with all this bloatware included in them :S
Not tried it myself. There was the option for a AMD Minimal Setup installer (~39MB) which just downloads the components you want.
This driver release is absolutely superb. Just been testing Enhanced Sync and the Performance Overlay in Planetside 2 and they work perfectly. Love the new options to trim game footage captured with ReLive. Got a new monitor coming next week too so really looking forward to using Chill and FreeSync

This is a bit like an early Xmas present from RTG here. The sheer number of improvements is amazing, particularly enhanced sync. This will keep me going fine until I can get a decent FreeSync monitor (IPS/VA, >=1440P, 24", ideally HDR but not a deal-breaker).
It is really impressive. I watched the PC Perspective interview with AMD on the drivers (HIGHLY recommend PCPER website and youtube and podcast) and the amount of progress is quite commendable. I will be downloading these drivers soon (I don't game much so I didn't get them yesterday, also I'm doing some crypto stuff so I don't want to have to restart at the moment).
However as I commented on Reddit there still seem to be some Vega architecture features which the drivers don't take advantage of. The jury is out if these features even work (sheeesh) but I believe they most likely do (after all it's AMD, they are good) and I want to see these uarch features in the drivers sooner rather than later. Call it speculative, but I can see with these features the Vega 56 matching or beating 1080 perf. That's a guess. Good day!

Be Careful on the Internet! I ran and tackled a drive by mining attack today. It's not designed to do anything than provide fake texts (say!)
For Linux users this is a big deal.
KVM virtualisation drivers allow gpu access from hosts. Normal and Pro drivers are included in the release.
The Vulkan driver is finally open sourced, though there is already a superb AMD Vulkan driver in the open source stack hopefully some ideas and code from AMD's driver can get blended in and make things even better.
So even though I don't use the closed source AMD driver, some bits of this look rather good and should filter through.
Holy cow Batman, Crossfire finally works again for me, was giving up hope! Been without it for nearly 12 months.
