Following the official release of the Oculus Rift VR headset, AMD has also released its new Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 hotfix drivers which both add support for Oculus SDK v1.3 as well as support for the recently released Radeon Pro Duo dual-GPU graphics card.

According to the release notes, the new Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 hotfix drivers also add support for the Quick Response Queue feature which allows developers to use a special asynchronous queue. This feature comes in direct connection with the asynchronous timewarp and is supported on AMD GCN 1.1+ GPUs.

The Quick Response Queue allow developers to request GPU resources without interrupting the previous work, which is possible due to AMD's implementation of GCN asynchronous compute engines, which are both programmable and can manage scheduling inside the hardware.




Oculus used the async timewarp and Quick Response Queue feature in as a failsafe in order to re-warp a missing frame when the game or application does not reach 90fps, as warped frame is beter than a dropped one.

The new Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2 hotfix drivers also add an update Crossfire profile for Hitman in DirectX 11 as well as resolves a couple of issues in some games and Radeon Settings.
