AMD uploaded the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.5.1 drivers, you can grab them
via this page. Just like the new NVIDIA GeForce drivers I wrote about yesterday, this release features optimizations for the new Prey game. AMD claims this version offers up to 4.7 percent higher Prey performance on a Radeon RX 580 8GB card versus the 17.4.4 driver. Additionally, this release also fixes a couple of bugs.
Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.5.1 Highlights
Prey® support:
Up to 4.7% performance improvement measured on Radeon RX 580 8GB graphics when compared to Radeon Software Crimson ReLive edition 17.4.4(1)
Multi GPU profile support
Fixed Issues
Fixed an issue that may sometimes cause the error message "1603" during uninstall.
Radeon Settings may sometimes fail to update through the auto Radeon Software update feature.
Forza Horizon 3™ may experience minor graphics corruption in some game maps
Sid Meier's Civilization™ VI may experience an application crash when using Hybrid Graphics system configurations and windowed game mode
Radeon WattMan may fail to apply settings on some Radeon R9 390 series graphics products.
Added switchable graphics support for Unigine™ Superposition for XConnect and Hybrid Graphics.
Known Issues
The Display feature in Radeon Settings "GPU Scaling" may not function for some games.
Radeon Settings may crash on switching Windows® user after toggling AMD CrossFire™ technology mode.
A small amount of apps may still experience issues with Borderless Fullscreen mode and AMD FreeSync™ technology if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background.
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.
