AMD Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition adds support for RX 580 and 570 GPUs

By Mark Coppock Published April 18, 2017

Every good graphics card needs a solid set of drivers to perform at its peak while avoiding the kind of instability that can ruin an otherwise excellent gaming session. That’s why AMD’s latest version of its Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition software suite should be welcome to users of the company’s latest GPUs.

Version 17.4.3 offers support for AMD’s recently released Radeon RX 580 and 570 line. In addition, the version brings the software suite up to speed with Microsoft’s recent release of Windows 10 Creators Update.

The Radeon RX 580 and 570 are the company’s next iteration of its GPUs based on the Polaris architecture, and serve as a stopgap to keep AMD fans satisfied until the release of the next-generation Vega GPUs. The RX 500 series offers faster clock speeds over the previous RX 400 series, and thus improved performance at the same price points.

Of course, the latest Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition software supports a wide range of current and previous AMD Radeon graphics cards, and the current version has some known issues that users might want to keep in mind. Here’s the list directly from AMD’s support page:

Radeon WattMan may fail to apply settings on some Radeon R9 390 series graphics products.
Radeon Settings may crash on switching Windows user after toggling AMD CrossFire technology mode.
A small amount of apps may still experience issues with borderless full-screen mode and AMD FreeSync technology if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync technology enabled. Workarounds include exiting and restarting the application or task switching (alt+tab) in and out of the game to fix the issue.

Generally speaking, Radeon ReLive also has some issues independent of version 17.4.3. Again, directly from AMD’s support page:

The Xbox DVR application may cause conflicts with Radeon ReLive, and users are urged to disable Xbox DVR if Radeon ReLive is experiencing issues.
Radeon ReLive may fail to install on AMD APU family products or experience a system hang or failure to record when using the recording feature on AMD APU family products.
Radeon ReLive may intermittently fail to work after performing task switches of applications. A workaround is to disable and then enable the feature in Radeon Software.
Radeon ReLive may exhibit corruption in recordings when capturing Microsoft Office applications.
Radeon ReLive may experience recording or streaming issues when task switching using alt+tab.

You can download the newest software via the AMD support site. Here are instructions on installing the Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition, as well as instructions on uninstalling the software.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns

OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
