AMD’s newest Crimson ReLive driver, 17.4.1, adds better support for Oculus Rift’s ASW and Steam VR’s SVRAR virtual reality APIs. However, this is only for a particular set of graphics cards.
Owners of AMD graphics cards are by now familiar with the firm’s newest approach to releasing drivers « when it makes sense » , rather than going the monthly route. Along with the aforementioned decision, AMD also revealed that its software package would get a new major release yearly, and thus a new name. After 2014’s Omega and 2015’s Crimson , last year saw the debut of Crimson Software ReLive, named after AMD’s response to Shadowplay.
