AMD’s New 17.3.3 Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Is Out

[CrAKeN]

 

Mass Effect: Andromeda

 

AMD has announced the availability of a new version of its Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition driver, namely the 17.3.3 Non-WHQL build, which manages to resolve texture flickering encountered when playing Mass Effect: Andromeda on Multi-GPU configurations.

 

In addition to that, with this upgrade owners have the ability to enable the Multi-GPU feature via command line (“-RenderDevice.AmdCrossfireEnable 1”) for the same game as mentioned above.

 

However, users might still experience a few problems when playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, Battlefield 1, Sniper Elite 4, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, World of Warcraft, and Shadow Warrior 2, as well as other known issues listed in the Release Notes below.

 

In terms of compatibility, AMD has provided several downloadable executables developed for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 platforms; still, don’t forget that Windows 8.1 32-bit OS isn’t supported anymore.

 

Therefore, download AMD Radeon Crimson ReLive Graphics Driver 17.3.3 Non-WHQL for your appropriate system configuration, remove any previous AMD graphics driver, restart your computer, and close all programs and processes that might interfere with the installation.

 

Afterward, run the executable, wait for all files required for the upgrade to be extracted, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen. Also, check our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
