Driver Update: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.9.3

AMD has released a new update to its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition drivers. The drivers are only suitable for the HD 7730(M) and higher, the HD 8570 and higher, and the R5, R7, R9 and RX series cards. Only versions 7 and 10 of Windows are supported. For people using Windows 8.1, version 17.7.1 the latest version. Drivers for the first generation of Windows 8 are no longer made at all. For older cards, now labeled legacy or non-gcn, Catalyst Software Suite version 15.7.1 is the latest stable release.

Adrenalin Edition is the successor to Crimson ReLive Edition and adds, among other things, a Connect tab, which enables streaming to social media with easy editing options. In addition, graphics card settings can be adjusted without leaving a game through an overlay and the settings can also be adjusted via a mobile app. This update includes some bug fixes and performance improvements in the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Forza Horizon 4 games.
