This means we will be retiring AMD Catalyst.

Say good bye to the Catalyst, as it will be absorbed by the Crimson Software Suite and will be renamed as “Radeon/FirePro Settings” for the better. The Crimson isn’t just going to rename the old to the new, as the suite will function like a mini-OS for your AMD Radeon Graphics which is aimed to deliver stability, DirectX 12 compatibility, and Virtual Reality to your system seamlessly – Overhaul is a fitting word. Below are the new features added:

  • Game Manager
  • Video Quality presets
  • Social Media integration
  • Simplified Eyefinity setup
  • System notifications tab

The AMD Crimson will also feature an on-board overclocking tool with profiling for ease of use. We’ve seen the Catalyst Control Center with the same feature but this one looks more user friendly, has additional functions, and is overall sleeker than the older one.
