    It's not only a new UI skin you know, they had to rebuild everything from the ground up even the drivers code. rumor saying on Reddit that DX11 Overhead has been fix in 15.11 WHQL due of Shader Cache Tech AMD is using in there new driver.

    the shader cache is part of crimson, not the driver.

    It's part of the driver & not software. driver use WDDM 2.0. while software does not.

    Shader Cache do is During loads their compilation increases the time it takes to start playing, and during gameplay increases CPU usage, lowering frame rates. When the shader is no longer required, or the game is closed, it is disgarded, forcing its recompilation the next time you play.

    They presented it together with the r9 380x on 20 november. They could also play a battlefront demo or something like that. At least that's what the translation of japanese sites said.

    One of those sites: http://www.3dmgame.com/news/201511/3532913.html

    The translation of the tittle is "AMD Catalyst driver death is already scheduled! The new drive Crimson debut tomorrow". The article if from november 19th.

    Automatic translation:
    "13-year-old history of Catalyst drivers will become cannon fodder, AMD will launch Crimson drive instead driven interface functions will be revolutionized. This new driver is not far off, AMD will bring new products after the release R9 380X cards published in tomorrow together Crimson drive.
    AMD Radeon newly established technical department under the leadership of new boss Raja Koduri first the fire burned to the driver, 13-year-old history of Catalyst drivers will become cannon fodder, AMD will launch Crimson drive instead, drive interface, function there will be a revolutionary change. This new driver is not far off, but it does not clear before the specific release date, but now almost can determine, AMD will bring new products released after R9 380X cards published in tomorrow together Crimson drive.

    AMD will release tonight, has long been rumored Radeon R9 380X graphics card specifications, prices will be officially announced tonight, I do not say anything, but you can say is R9 380X send test drive or the catalyst 15.11.1 version, the interface does not change. But then R9 380X release, AMD will do as usual promotional activities worldwide, new activities in Japan on Nov. 20 had related mentions Radeon Software and new products, there will be " Star Wars: Battlefront "game demo, the game has joined AMD R9 Fury graphics bundle.

    Comprehensive judgments, then, AMD should be officially announced tomorrow Crimson new drive, with R9 380X interval so close, indicating that AMD does not want to use this drive starting in R9 380X evaluation, but separate events to launch a new drive.

    Crimson driver is able to bring a refreshing change is unclear on the UI usability, stability, optimization and performance, some comments before Tucao said AMD just changed the drive skin, which of course it is everyone's sense of humor, Even really only skin did not change so easily, only UI usability improvements that enough vendors toss. AMD to abandon 13 years of catalyst that name was a bit sorry, but it also shows that they most drastic of courage, hope Crimson drive capable of as they wish."

    I couldn't find anything new about the crimson driver.
