AMD today has released a new version of Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition version 17.10.2 before this week’s major releases.
On top of Destiny 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Origins, AMD’s latest driver also supports Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Machine Games’ latest title launches on Friday, just like Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
AMD provided some numbers, specifically on the performance increase between the previous and current drivers, and you can view them in the release notes. One notable factoid is that RX Vega 56 and RX 580 owners will notice 43% and 50%, respectively, “faster performance” at 1440p on the new driver.
The new driver is not just about games. It also supports the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, which is slowly rolling out to all users, and introduces the new functions of GPU Workload and Compute Support. The former will allow you switch the GPUs performance towards graphical or computer workloads while the latter allows for compute-based tasks for up to 12 installed GPUs. The GPU Workload feature is supported on the Radeon RX 500 and 400 series and the R9 390, R9 380, R9 290, and R9 285 cards. Compute Support is available for the RX Vega, 500, and 400 series of GPUs.
