You can now download the new AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers release 16.8.2 driver released for No Man's Sky, as well as adds improved power distribution for the Radeon RX 460 / 470 and 480 as well as performance improvements. 

Radeon Software Crimson Edition is AMD's revolutionary new graphics software that delivers redesigned functionality, supercharged graphics performance, remarkable new features, and innovation that redefines the overall user experience. Every Radeon Software release strives to deliver new features, better performance and stability improvements.

This is to be considered a hotfix driver, and as such they do not have a WHQL certification. We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.

Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.8.2 Highlights
Support for:

  • No Man's Sky™
  • Paragon™ Open Beta

Fixed Issues

  • Overwatch™ may experience an intermittent application crash when browsing the hero gallery.
  • With a Freesync supported display and Freesync enabled, some users may experience flickering on desktop during system idle.
  • A small number of Windows 10 Anniversary Edition systems may experience install issues with secure boot enabled.


Known Issues

  • A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay".
  • Grand Theft Auto V™ may experience an application hang on Radeon RX 400 Series Graphics when playing at 4K resolution in story mode.
  • A small number of 144hz non-Freesync enabled displays may exhibit flickering during gaming or on desktop.

    Two topics? :P

    Well it is a important driver update as it fixes the secure boot mess with Win10 RS1 I suppose. :D
    (And some other small fixes and support for No Mans Sky and the Paragon beta.)

    Yeah,another driver.Remember this is Radeon Technologies Group,not Ati. :)

    About Secure Boot:

    http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-secure-boot-key-debacle-causes-security-panic/

    "Microsoft has accidentally leaked the keys to the kingdom, permitting attackers to unlock devices protected by Secure Boot - and it may not be possible to fully resolve the leak.

    The design flaw in the Windows operating system can be used to unlock Windows devices, including smartphones and tablets, which are otherwise protected by Secure Boot in order to run operating systems other than Windows on locked down systems."

    They release this:
    A Microsoft spokesperson told ZDNet:

    "The jailbreak technique described in the researchers' report on August 10 does not apply to desktop or enterprise PC systems. It requires physical access and administrator rights to ARM and RT devices and does not compromise encryption protections."

    But I dont trusted them Anymore.

    Btw Microsoft extends again support for Windows 7, 8.1 Skylake-based devices.
