Advanced Micro Devices is releasing its biggest consumer graphics driver update of the year as it aims to boost graphics performance for games, virtual reality, and content creation.

AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group is launching its Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2 driver update for its graphics processing units (GPUs) with the ultimate goal of creating better experiences for gamers. It should result in better user interface features, improvements in first-person shooter games, quicker load times, more responsiveness, and various bug fixes. Game image captures should be much better in terms of graphics quality.
