This affects not only the name and appearance, but also the functionality, the latter should especially be simple and clear. The old Catalyst Control Center (CCC), however, disappears completely. “);} else {adsrv (” zoneid = 360 “, true);}

Radeon Software Crimson

Radeon Software Crimson: This is the new name for the software package from AMD, this replaces the previous CCC itself, however does not change the numbering, here we stick to the combination of year and month of December which would be 15:12.. However, the change should be completed this year (via Ars Technica)

The name Radeon Software will remain permanently, Crimson not. Because AMD indicates that this is the name for a “Major Edition” , after the end of 2015/2016 this designation will be replaced by a different color. This should not only be a cosmetic name change, but also to functional changes or updates to point.

It is important but what the new Software brings with itself or the adjustments that will be carried out “under the hood”. So far, AMD has talked mainly about the changes to the interface. Technically you betrays only that Crimson has been developed in QT, a cross-platform application framework, this is much faster than the old .NET, which was used at CCC according to AMD.

Interface

The UI but is also interesting because it is fundamentally different: The new homescreen for example, has five main areas: Gaming, Video, Display, and Eyefinity system. Below are buttons for updates, settings, and alerts.

‘) In principle, the scope of the settings should be the same as in the CCC, it should be easier to find but. In gaming Tab there will also be a new game manager, so you can perform various optimizations per game or for all games. The overclocking in Overdrive should be simple and accessible. Recommended settings remain, however for the time being in the (optional) Gaming Evolved Raptrr application, to be later transferred again towards Crimson.

Other changes relate to a simplified video Tab with various filters, settings for individual displays (FreeSync and Virtual Super Resolution), an Eyefinity setup wizard, and finally a system overview with information, inter alia, to the processor, memory and the GPU Status.
