AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16 1 1 Hotfix Driver Now Available

Best performance for Rise of the Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider is out now for PC (it has been for the past several days) and whether you use an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, theres an optimized driver release available to download.

For NVIDIA graphics cards owners, its the 361.75 driver release, which was made available a couple of days before  the games release. And for those on team AMD, it now has your back as well with the release of its new Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.1.1 Hotfix.

The highlights of the hotfix are short and simple—performance and quality improvements for Rise of the Tomb Raider plus a Crossfire profile, and also a Crossfire profile for Fallout 4.

AMD also resolved a bunch of issues with the latest hotfix. They include:

• [81915] Assassins Creed Syndicate - Building textures may be missing on some AMD Freesync displays with VSync enabled
• [82892] Display corruption may occur on systems with multiple display systems when they have been left idle for some time
