Radeon Driver Update Options

[jaygatsby9]

Hi. I currently have 17.1.1 installed. The AMD Software Radeon program says that there are new updates available. It then lists 16.12.2 as the new recommended choice, with 17.2.1 being the new optional choice.
Why would the older driver be the recommended driver? My card is the AMD Radeon R9 390 Series.
Thanks.

I don't think 17.2.1 is WHQL yet, but 17.1.1 is WHQL. The recommended course should be to keep your current driver, assuming "recommended" means "WHQL". If you aren't worried about WHQL status, grab the newer drivers despite what it "recommends".

translation: leave it as is or upgrade to the new one if you want
