AMD Releases the Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2 WHQL Drivers
AMD today released the latest update to their Radeon GPU drivers, the Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2. We took a detailed look at it which you can read here, and it is a fairly big update bringing a lot of added features- some of which were user requested such as additional settings and per-display color controls, and others aiming to improve user experience such as Enhanced Sync to lower game animation stutter and also input latency. There have also been improvements to ReLive streaming, as well as an addition of a new GPU Profiler tool for developers.
Note that AMD is no longer supporting Windows 8/8.1 with newer RX 400 and 500 series (and also upcoming RX Vega). When asked about this, AMD provided the following statement: "With the declining use of Windows 8.1 we have focused our efforts on providing the best experience on the operating systems that the vast majority of our users are now using. Although we no longer officially support Windows 8.1, users can try the Windows 7 driver on an "as-is" basis."

so what does it mean by "as-is" basis? someone care to give more detail explanation on this?
my mouse wasnt working correctly in win10.
i guess i will be buying a GTX card next. Bye bye AMD.
Nothing stopping users from using the last supported driver for Win 8/8.1 Driver 7.7.1
I've installed Win7x64 drivers for HID, IPMI and COM interfaces in Win8.1, some worked fine, others resulted in a kernel crash fest. :oops:So, you're basing your next graphic card purchase on your mouse misbehaving in Windows 10, saying you'll switch camps because while your card is still supported in both Windows 10 and 8/8.1, means you don't want to spend 1/6 of the investment on a new mouse :confused::confused:
Everyone has a sense of logic, but I mean, c'mon....
Like I said elsewhere, AMD is a walking PR disaster of their own making.
