"AMD is making a change in their driver naming and branding. As you probably can remember, a few weeks ago AMD announced the Radeon Technologies Group, led by graphics industry veteran and architect, Raja Koduri.

In the line of changes is a newly ling of driver software that is to be released in the near future. This Radeon Technologies Group is tasked with propeling the industry forward by driving performance/W with new GPUs, creating innovative new technologies, and making sure the software that supports GPUs is top notch. AMD therefore is announcing that the first output from the Radeon Technologies Group is a re-imagined Software strategy. As such AMD is putting good focus on software and states It’s more than just a driver. It’s a whole range of software.

The "Radeon Software" will get the Subtitle "Crimson Edition" and hold all upcoming 2015 and 2016 drivers. The bigger change is the vertical integration of game installed game presets which AMD had been doing with Raptr. Per game you can pick a profile with accompanying graphics settings. The bigger chunk of overall settings all have been available in the Catalyst Control Center, just with that different jacket. AMD claims that this software suite will load up 10x faster opposed to the old Catalyst drivers. The new drive suite will be released 'before the end of this year'."
