AMD has rolled out a new beta version of its Vulkan Radeon Graphics driver, namely 16.15.2111.1001 Beta 1, which is conformant with Vulkan 1.0 specifications, and also include a few improvements.

Specifically speaking, the release includes Vulkan support for PowerXpress configurations, resolves crashes encountered when launching Hologram, and fixes the potential compatibility problems spotted playing The Talos Principle.

In terms of compatibility, the producer has provided two downloadable executables suitable for Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 operating systems, one for each 32- and 64-bit variants. Bear in mind that Windows 8 platforms aren’t supported anymore.

Moreover, besides the OS ensure that your computer includes one of the valid GPU models as highlighted on the description page. Do not try applying on other configurations as this can lead to malfunctions.

As for installation, first of all, make sure to remove any previous version present on your computer, save and run the appropriate package for your configuration, and follow all instructions displayed for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once finished, it would be a good idea to perform a reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. However, in case this task isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, make sure to carry it out manually.
