AMD Releases the Radeon Crimson Relive 17.5.1 Beta Drivers

Not to let itself be outshined by arch-rival NVIDIA, AMD today released a new driver suite that introduces support for the impending release of Arkane Studios' Prey. A totally new IP in an era of sequels and re-releases, which has been paired - even if only so slightly - with AMD's own Vega teaser campaign, Prey promises to offer a mix of Bioshock and System Shock, with Arkane's own peculiar blend of game mechanics and art direction. Go on ahead fighting the invasion - I'll be joining you shortly.

These drivers promise an up to 4.7% performance improvement measured on Radeon RX 580 8GB graphics when compared to Radeon Software Crimson ReLive edition 17.4.4, as well as multi GPU profile support. As always, you can grab these right here on your favorite hardware site on the universe. Just follow the link below, and catch some more details like fixed and current issues after the break.

It's really bad that AMD removed display settings like brightness, color and other correction stuff that was there before in ccc. Really miss it. It would have been really nice to have those back in radion software.

I am having issues installing these on bios mod 480s code 43 after installing ie not enabling gpu.
Even rolling back just the display driver doesn't help ,auto update pulls a 2016 driver which does work but......
Anyone else having issues with bios adjusted 480/580?

theoneandonlymrkcheers , i havent had to use that patcher before, given it raises more issues ie video acceleration im not to happy to have to use it either but it works for now eh so thank you.

So bios modders are stuck modding drivers now too, im soo glad i flashed my 480s now
If you rename the executable to atikmdag-patcher-bios.exe it should only patch the signature check and keep everything else intact.

I have the update the M$ released the mgpu update 5/2 and started you needed to have at least 17.44. It didn't work for me so I was hoping that the next driver update from amd would address that. NVIDIA latest driver included it, come on AMD.
