i am still playing around with my Tri Crossfire of a 295x2 and a 290X.. after tweaking game settings and a bit in CCC.. I am now not seeing any tearing or sever FPS drops on my games when in video settings of High-Ultra...

To my question.. i am reading this review http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/05/13/amd_radeon_r9_295x2_xfx_290x_dd_trifire_review

trying glean all the details I can, and I notice in thier GPU-Z shot, 1st page, DirectCompute 5.0 is checked, while my GPU-Z is not checked.

What is it,, how to enable and should it be enabled?
