Aligning with the release of Prey, AMD released the first Radeon Crimson ReLive graphics driver of the month: 17.5.1. This version optimizes the aforementioned title with up to a 4.7% boost in performance, versus 17.4.4 as measured on an RX 580, according to AMD. It also adds multi-GPU support to the title, for those who have multiple AMD graphics cards.
A bunch of bugs were also fixed in this release, as is almost always the case. Probably the most important one, though, is the patch to their auto-updater that prevents it from failing. They also fixed a couple issues with hybrid graphics, including a crash in Civilization VI with those types of systems.
You can pick up 17.5.1 from AMD’s website.

That auto-updater bug failing was really getting on my nerves. Will try a manual download now for a hopefully easier update cycle 🙂

My computer got so bad that installing new AMD drivers failed 90% of the time. Would have to go into safe mode and attempt to uninstall them from device manager, reboot, and then try installing again.
Finally gave up one night and reset Windows 10. Last update installed fine, so I’m going to wait a little bit before the next attempt.

Is dual GPU “enabled” yet for VR ?
Cross fire for VR should work with every single title, deliver close to 2x the FPS, and reduce latency…
So why is AMD not pushing crossfire for VR ?
A dual RX 580 retail package would be the best $ performance.
I’m sure OEM would love to sell “Twin packs” of GPU and apply a little discount. AMD could move some stock of old card this way…
