AMD releases ReLive 17.3.3 driver for Mass Effect: Andromeda
Bolsters multi-GPU support and fixes a texture flickering issue.
Are you having trouble getting Mass Effect: Andromeda to run properly on a system with multiple Radeon graphics cards in a Crossfire configuration? If so, AMD's newest Crimson ReLive driver might help.
AMD just released its Crimson ReLive 17.3.3 driver package, which focuses on day-one multi-GPU quality an support for Bioware's newest RPG. To that end, there are just two things to note.
The first is a new DirectX 11 multi-GPU profile. In order to enable Crossfire, AMD says you need to type "-RenderDeviceAmdCrossfireEnable 1" as a command line argument.
Installing the driver also fixes a texture flickering issue that is sometimes observed in Andromeda on multi-GPU configurations.
And that's it. The rest of release notes are dedicated to known issues, which AMD will hopefully address in its next driver update.
