they even have a rebellion site at radeon.com/rx

If their actual cards themselves were as good as their self promotion and marketing, they'd be number one for sure.

But they aren't, and they're not.

Their driver naming is pathetic. "Driver Software Crimson Edition" What the hell was wrong with AMD Catalyst? It sounded badass. This now is too long and too stupid.

Did your mother never tell you not judge a book by it's cover ?.

AsRockDid your mother never tell you not judge a book by it's cover ?

If your not taught to read then you do judge books by their covers :)
Picture books anyone :):)

That doesn't change the fact the name they chose is stupid. Old "Catalyst" ignites the reaction between a graphic card and a game aka A DRIVER. It not only sounded cool, it actually meant something. Crimson just means nothing at all (apart from describing a color which isn't even from AMD's or Radeon's color scheme). Plus all the other unnecessary meaningless words around it.

Radeon Settings is the name, Crimson is just an edition, i know doesn't make much sense to me. I don't think crimson replace catalyst. If you right click on desktop to open the control center it says AMD Radeon Settings where it use to say AMD Catalyst.

This is kinda interesting as the site looks fine. Though I find it funny how you click the drivers and it just takes you to the old page...

I agree, even if it was called "Radeon software", I mean sure, its understandable for everyone but its very boring.
Catalyst was a better name (and imo a far superior UI at this point).

I am pretty sure the only reason they changed it is because of people view on the companies drivers. Look how many people still claim the drivers are bad, they had to launch a new name to try and show its a new eco-system. Kinda like how some car names disappear from manufacturers because of bad reputations in to a new car regardless of if this car is the same general size and spot in the category.

Then what are they doing here if they cannot read the forum never mind installing some thing that you cannot read :p.

Anyways picture books are good i only said the cover and tbh the newer version is better regardless of the name not if i had issue's with the old.

RadeonWare ;)

nVidia still doesn't even NAME their drivers, just a WHQL cert then a number. At least RTG tried.

You not updated drivers in a while,its been called crimson edition a while now, it's not that bad.

I don't know, price per performance AMD has been doing quite well on. Even the RX480 has a good price/performance ratio.

It's a lot more adventurous posting off the cuff, on the fly for the fun?

Wattman:banghead:

cool! the UI is much better.

Is this the beginning of Radeon spin out from AMD?

I miss ATi catalyst, oh AMD :(

RX 480 still looks a good buy to me though.
