Download Driver For AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.10.1

AMD has released a new update to its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition drivers. The drivers are only suitable for the HD 7730(M) and above, the HD 8570 and above, and the R5, R7, R9 and RX series cards. For the latest generation of cards, only versions 7 and 10 of Windows are supported. Furthermore, AMD no longer offers 32-bit drivers.
