Con la release 16.5.2.1 dei driver Crimson AMD va ad incrementare sensibilmente (+35%) le prestazioni delle GPU Hawaii/Grenada con il nuovo DooM.
Il rilascio di una versione Hotfix si è reso necessario per sistemare un problema di bandwidth e fill-rates con l'FPS frenetico di iD Software, particolarmente evidente con tutte le schede della serie Radeon R9 390 / R9 290 e subito documentato da diversi siti online (nonostante l'utilizzo dei driver Crimson 16.5.2 consigliati in precedenza da AMD).
Il download dei nuovi driver Crimson 16.5.2.1 Hotfix è disponibile a questo indirizzo (ricordiamo che questi driver possono essere installati su tutte le GPU Radeon basate su architettura GCN).
Performance increase by up to 35% on AMD Radeon R9 390 series products in Doom™ versus Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2
