Can you provide prof of this "nVidia and AMD are both telling its users that they are trying to work with BW on this issue."?

Sure, right here http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-11-2-BetaWINReleaseNotes.aspx

Says "

AMD is currently working with BioWare to resolve the following issues:

Flickering is sometimes observed in Dragon Age: Inquisition on a limited number of surfaces in AMD CrossFire™ configurations."

nVidia has it in their release notes as well

Thanks shadywack.

On the one hand it inspires cautious optimism (message from AMD), on the other hand I have not found a similar message from NVIDIA. But NVIDIA still has not fixed the bug in DA2. 😕mileyfrustrated:

NVIDIA

[SLI], GeForce 500 series, [Dragon Age II], DirectX 11: Shadows flicker in the cutscene when SLI is enabled. [849235]

Ahh I must have been mistaken then, the DA2 bug was what I was referring to.
Given, however, that the behavior is identical between AMD/nVidia multi-gpu configurations that fixing this bug for one side will also handle the other.
Even when using Mantle I occasionally see flickering on my 295x2.

Still wondering if EA/Bioware is ever going to publicly comment on this issue.
