It seems like we are spending more time updating drivers than playing new games lately. During the past month we have received four new AMD drivers and it's more or less the same with NVIDIA. AMD has released the latest update to their Radeon GPU drivers, the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 17.12.2 Beta.



The latest version of the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 17.12.2 drivers, fixes a few issues that were present before. In the case of the fixed issues, AMD XConnect for hot-swapping external GPUs should be fixed and Neflix playback should finally work as well without any kind of AMD stuttering. Furthermore AMD has improve the performance on Star Wars: Battlefront II, removing all the graphics corruption.

As always, you can download the latest AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition drivers over at AMD's support page.
