R9 290X CF - Can't change power limit

Try MSI afterburner, that's what I use on my 290 and you can increase the limit and set a static voltage. Just make sure to set Catalyst to base settings first.

 

Looks like I just had to play with the settings in Afterburner a bit: https://goo.gl/photos/fPwuMyhNKBRfhoQt8

 

Checked 'Disable ULPS' and set 'Unofficial overclocking mode' to 'disabled'

I'm running dual 290X's, Win 10 Pro 64, latest catalyst beta. Catalyst Control Centre only allows me to change the 'Power limit setting' on the first GPU. If I change it on the second GPU and hit 'Apply', the setting just reverts back to 0%. 

 

This prevents me from getting max. performance out of both cards, as the second card will throttle with its power limit set to 0%. I've tried forcing 50% power limit with MSI Afterburner as well, which does nothing.

 

I know the cards are fine, as I had no problem running both at +50% power limit in Win7 on older driver versions. 

 

Anyone know of a fix?

MSX is tosh. Might have to wait for AMD and Microsoft to fix this or just revert to 7/8.1

Well, as per the topic of this thread, I can't make full use of my 290X cards in CF in Win10 because of the Power Limit issue. 290X is generally a beast, but AMD drivers kinda suck for Win10 at the moment.
