AMD has released another driver suite for their Radeon graphics cards, in the form of the 17.11.1 Beta drivers. These bring support, and the best experience, for Call of Duty: WWII, with up to 5% faster performance on Radeon RX Vega64 (8 GB) graphics than with Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.10.3 at 2560×1440.

Additionally, this driver brings AMD XConnect technology improvements for Vega 56. XConnect is AMD’s technology that allows seamless plug and play ability for eGPU enclosures, and with this update, AMD is increasing the number of eGPU solutions that support AMD’s RX Vega 56 graphics cards in this configuration. There’s also an extensive list of fixes (including a particularly nasty bug where system devices such as printers could be removed during Radeon Software uninstallation) and known issues, which you can catch after the break. As always, you can download your drivers right here, on the best website of the known universe.

We review the NZXT H700i Mid Tower PC chassis. A nice design chassis with tempered glass and RGB LED lighting + CAM control unit and refined features with the ability to hide your components inside the chassis. NZXT has been around for years, building an ongoing reputation with mostly their controversial chassis designs. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and have ever since put numerous chassis designs out on the market. Rising from the ashes of their crafted series is the Phantom 630 full tower chassis, absolutely impressive in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. What about a digital fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans?

NVIDIA today released GeForce 388.13 WHQL software. These drivers are game-ready for the week’s hottest AAA game releases, “Call of Duty: WWII,” “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus,” and “Need for Speed: Payback.” This includes performance optimization, and GeForce Experience optimal settings. The drivers also add official support for the new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card, which makes its market debut on the 2nd of November.

The drivers also address a few bugs, including a rare issue with secondary displays blanking out on some systems, “Yellow bang appearing by the graphics entry in Device Manager,” and momentary display corruption on notebooks with hybrid GPUs, in which the display is switching between the CPU-integrated and NVIDIA discrete GPUs.

You can download the new GeForce 388.13 WHQL Game Ready Graphics Drivers from GeForce Experience and GeForce.com.
