AMD has released a new Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.1 driver.

The driver adds Crossfire support for Need for Speed, and adds a Crossfire profile for Hitman. Additionally, V-Sync is no longer automatically turned on in DX12 applications, and frame rates are no longer locked to the refresh rate of the display.
