Advanced Micro Devices has launched its new graphics software, Radeon Software Crimson Edition, to serve as a “graphics operating system” for your PC. Targeted at gamers, the new driver software will enable computers to run games at optimal settings.

The move is the latest effort by AMD to cater to the tastes of players of PC games, which are a $33.7 billion market in 2015, according to market researcher Newzoo. The Radeon Software Crimson edition is the latest collection of software — such as graphics drivers that connect hardware and software in a PC — that the company has been delivering for more than 20 years. The drivers consist of user interfaces, libraries, tools, and applications that make it easy for games and other apps to work with your PC’s graphics system.
