AMD Radeon Software 18.3.1 promises more DOTA 2 performance

AMD uploaded the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.3.1 driver, you can grab it over here. This version has optimizations for Final Fantasy XV and Warhammer: Vermintide II, and also promises an up to 6 percent performance boost for DOTA 2. Additionally, there are some bug fixes for a couple of games.

Interestingly, one of the items listed in the known issues section is that systems may hang after extended period of use. This applies only to configurations with 12 GPUs, so this is primarily for miners or GPGPU users.
