AMD released the latest version of its Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition drivers. Version 17.10.2 beta fixes a number of bugs, while building on the feature set of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update-exclusive driver update the company put out last week. To begin with, the drivers come with optimization for “Destiny 2,” “Assassin’s Creed: Origins,” and “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.” One can expect performance improvements of a massive 43-50 percent on “Destiny 2,” a significant 13-16 percent on “Assassin’s Creed: Origins,” and 4-8 percent on “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.”
The drivers also introduce an interesting new feature called “GPU Workload,” found in Radeon Settings, which lets you instantly switch between two GPU optimization modes: “gaming” and “compute.” The drivers can now simultaneously run up to 12 AMD Radeon GPUs on a single machine, making it economical for crypto-coin miners to install more GPUs into fewer machines, saving power and platform costs. The drivers also fix display corruption bugs related to “Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds,” and a rare game crash with “Hearts of Iron IV.” Grab the drivers from the link below.
