AMD heeft een nieuwe versie uitgebracht van Radeon Software Crimson Edition, zoals de drivers tegenwoordig heten. De drivers zijn alleen geschikt voor de HD 7750 en hoger, de HD 8570 en hoger, en natuurlijk de kaarten uit de R5-, R7- en R9-series. Voor wat betreft Windows worden alleen versies 7, 8.1 en 10 ondersteund. Voor oudere kaarten, die nu als legacy of non-gcn worden aangeduid is Catalyst Software Suite versie 15.7.1 de laatste stabiele uitgave en wordt Radeon Software Crimson Edition versie 16.2.1 als bèta aangeboden. In deze uitgave zijn optimalisaties voor het spel Doom doorgevoerd die prestatieverbeteringen tot maar liefst 35% laten noteren.
