AMD Radeon Crimson ReLive Drivers 17.6.2 Released

AMD have today released the beta for their new driver package as ReLive Drivers 17.6.2 goes live. The updated drivers provide some fixes for existing problems. In addition, they also provide optimisations for recent releases.

What are the details for ReLive Drivers 17.6.2?

Radeon lists the fixes in ReLive Drivers 17.6.2 as follows.

Fixed Issues

  • Performance in DiRT4 when using 8xMSAA is lower than expected with the latest game build.

Known Issues

  • Graphical corruption may be experienced in Tom Clancy’s: Rainbow Six Siege when MSAA is enabled.
  • Adobe Lightroom may experience an application crash with GPU acceleration enabled on Windows 7 system configurations using Radeon RX 390 Series graphics products.

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync technology enabled. Workarounds include exiting and restarting the application or task switching (alt+tab) in and out of the game to fix the issue.

  • Radeon ReLive may exhibit corruption in recordings when capturing Microsoft Office applications.
  • Radeon ReLive may experience recording or streaming issues when task switching using ALT+TAB.

Reasons to love AMD

I’m not going into the waters of who produces the better cards. I do, however, love how AMD only periodically release updates. I have owned Nvidia’s and it felt like playing on a PS4, updates were required every single day. It is refreshing that AMD updates are rather benign. Although saying that, it was only a month since the last. Maybe AMD updates just feel less intrusive.

Meh, either way, kudos to good guys AMD!

Although you should receive an automated option to update within your AMD Crimson QuickTray, here’s the link to the official site.
