It would be awesome if a new driver resolved all of these problems. But, it's AMD, so who knows.
It looks to me like they failed to deliver on GCN2, rushed to push out a new GCN-based card, added too many stream processors for the current cooling solution, and then lowered the clocks and implemented aggressive power management in an attempt to keep the card running at acceptable temperatures.
That's what it looks like from where I'm sitting.
