If you're an AMD user who was planning to play Quake Champions Early Access or Agents of Mayhem, then you'll be pleased to know that a new Radeon Crimson driver is out. It adds new support and optimizations for those particular games, as well as fixing a number of outstanding issues from previous driver releases.
This is a WHQL certified driver, not a beta release, so you need not fear untested bugs or flaws in its design. It adds full support for AMD's new Vega RX graphics cards, so if you've been lucky enough to snap up one of the new GPUs, this is the driver you'll want to download. Although a beta driver has existed for early adopters before now, this is the first certified, official one, so is well worth grabbing.
As mentioned, it also adds some optimizations for new games like Agents of Mayhem and Quake Champions, the latter of which has an upcoming million dollar World Championship in the very near future. Impressive really considering the game isn't playable just yet.
Some of the bug fixes in this driver include problems with HDMI signal loss on certain HDR TVs, a GTA V application crash, Forza Horizon 3 loading screen lag, a stuttering issue with certain Freesync displays, and a problem with Tekken 7 crashing using certain RX 300 series graphics cards.
None of those should be present anymore and though AMD does admit that there are a few outstanding issues still, including GPU scaling not working quite right in certain DX11 games and an application hang in Windows Media player, for the most part, these new drivers should be of great benefit to AMD fans.
