Without making much noise, AMD lifted the memory overclocking limits of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card with its latest Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL drivers, TechPowerUp found. The changelog is a bit vague and states "The maximum memory tuning limit may be incorrectly reported on AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics products."—we tested it. The RX 7900 GRE has been around since mid-2023, but gained prominence as the company gave it a global launch in February 2024, to help AMD better compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super. Before this, the RX 7900 GRE had started out its lifecycle as a special edition product confined to China, and its designers had ensured that it came with just the right performance positioning that didn't end up disrupting other products in the AMD stack. One of these limitations had to do with the memory overclocking potential, which was probably put in place to ensure that the RX 7900 GRE has a near-identical total board power as the RX 7800 XT.

Shortly after the global launch of the RX 7900 GRE, and responding to drama online, AMD declared the limited memory overclocking range a bug and promised a fix. The overclocking limits are defined in the graphics card VBIOS, so increasing those limits would mean shipping BIOS updates for over a dozen SKUs from all the major vendors, and requiring users to upgrade it by themselves. Such a solution isn't very practical, so AMD implemented a clock limit override in their new drivers, which reprograms the power limits on the GPU during boot-up. Nicely done, good job AMD!

AMD today released the latest version of its Adrenalin graphics drivers. Version 24.3.1 WHQL comes with optimization for Dragon's Dogma 2, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, and Outpost: Infinity Siege. The drivers also add AMD HYPR-Tune optimizations for Dragon's Dogma 2, Diablo IV, Ghostrunner 2, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

The drivers address a fairly large number of issues. To begin with, excessive micro-stutter after enabling AFMF for select games has been fixed. Driver timeout issues with Helldivers 2 and Starcraft II on RX 7900 series GPUs has been fixed. Excessive loading times with World of Warcraft (DX12) on some GPUs has been fixed. A purple tinge noticed in Dying Light 2 Stay Human Reloaded Edition with Radeon Boost enabled, has been fixed. Invisible or missing textures on some characters with Cossacks 3 has been fixed. Incorrect memory tuning limit reported for the RX 7900 GRE has been fixed. Also fixed is a shader caching failure for Windows usernames containing accented characters.

AMD today released its first drivers to implement Microsoft's DirectX Agility SDK version 1.613, which introduces the new DirectX 12 Work Graphs 1.0 API. AMD has extensively worked on implementing the new technology, which among other things, significantly reduces the CPU's role in most common shader graphics workloads, and improve GPU shader thread saturation, as the GPU waits less on the CPU's share of shader workloads. The new AMD Software Adrenalin 23.40.14.01 drivers are off the main driver update channel, and is intended for developers and enthusiasts to start exploring GPU Work Graphs. GPU Upload Heaps, and certain features of Shader Model 6.8 on supported AMD Radeon GPUs. There are some known issues with the driver specific to AMD's implementation of GPU Work Graphs, and the latest version of the Agility SDK in general, which are listed below.

AMD today released the latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin. Version 24.2.1 WHQL comes with optimization for "Skull and Bones," and "Nightingale." In case you're wondering where Radeon RX 7900 GRE support is; it's been around since July 2023 when the GPU was launched as a China-exclusive. With this release, AMD is also expanding the Vulkan API feature-set with new extensions as listed below. A large number of issues have been fixed with this release. To begin with; an intermittent driver-timeout issue seen with "Helldivers 2" on RX 7000 series GPUs has been addressed. Excessive stutter when playing several games, such as "Battlefield 2042," "Destiny 2," "Overwatch 2," "Monster Hunter: World," "PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS," and "STAR WARS Battlefront II," has been fixed. Excessive game loading times with "Deathloop" on cards such as RX 6900 XT, has been fixed.

"Deadspace" crashing on some RX 6000 series cards with RTAO enabled, has been fixed. First launching "Enshrouded" or changing AA settings, causes an intermittent application crash, which has been fixed. Visual artifacts with the game have been also fixed. HDR settings failing to take effect with "Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth" has been fixed. An intermittent driver-timeout with "Counterstrike 2" with FSR enabled on RX 7900 XTX, has been fixed. Incorrect reporting of graphics API as DirectX 12 in some Vulkan games has been fixed. Parsec host application experiencing a crash after reboot, has been fixed. Microsoft Teams displaying looped webcam footage on Ryzen 7 7840U has been fixed. Also fixed is a green tint noticed in Oculus Rift S with some RX 7000 series products. AFMF incorrectly displaying in hybrid GPU setups has been fixed—AFMF only works with a supported GPU is the display GPU.

AMD has released the latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers, version 24.1.1 WHQL. This is quite a big update as new drivers add support for the new AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card as well as bring day one support for Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and TEKKEN 8 games. There is also support for AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF), which promises to boost FPS by up to 97 percent in any DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 game. In addition to AFMF, the new drivers also add AMD Video Upscaling, some additional video improvements, AMD Smart Technology Tab, AMD Assistant, and additional OS feature support. There are also several fixed issues.

According to AMD, AFMF improves performance by adding frame generation technology to AMD Radeon 700M, RX 6000, and RX 7000 series graphics cards, both desktop and notebook versions. AMD also claims that AFMF preserves image quality by dynamically disabling frame generation during fast visual motion. AMD claims up to 97 percent average increase in performance across select titles at 1080p resolution with enabled AFMF and FSR 2 set at Quality Mode on Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, as well as up to 103 percent increase with the same settings and the same Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card at 1440p resolution.

Bluesky Frame Rate Converter is a nifty little free utility that lets you change the frame-rate of video files. At an operational level, this is a DirectShow filter with its own little control panel. Its author clearly knows his way around GPU acceleration for video encode and decode, and regularly updates it with new features. Version 4.6.0, released on December 23, introduces support for AMD Fluid Motion Video technology, making it one of the first applications to do so. With this, you can double the frame-rates of your videos, taking advantage of AMD's new feature that can extend frame rate doubling via interpolation to video playback or transcoding. To use it, you'll need a Radeon RX 6000 or RX 7000 series GPU, Windows 11 or Windows 10, and Adrenalin 23.12.1 (or later) graphics drivers. You can find Bluesky Frame Rate Converter in the source link below.

AMD over the past months has been releasing periodic updates to its Fluid Motion Frames preview drivers. These are off-trunk drivers that serve to demonstrate the capabilities of Fluid Motion Frames (FMF), a technology that enables near-doubling of frame-rates for every game, through interpolation techniques, similar to what you find in consumer televisions. The tech works on DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 games, on Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines, and for Radeon RX 7000 series and RX 6000 series GPUs. The December 7th update is based on the Adrenalin 23.12.1 drivers (i.e. includes all changes and improvements AMD introduced with those drivers), plus enablement for FMF, although the driver isn't WHQL certified. With this release, AMD says that it introduced several application stability improvements for FMF. The company also reduced stutter and improved frame-pacing. Grab the driver from the link below.

With the release of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers version 23.10.1 WHQL, AMD has added Anti-Lag+ support for Counter Strike 2, but it appears that this will only result in a VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) ban. Apparently, the Anti-Lag+ feature is implemented by detouring engine dll functions, and any tampering with CS code will result in a VAC ban.

Valve was keen to note that once AMD ships an update, it will work on identifying affected users and reversing the ban. Luckily, the Anti-Lag+ technology only works on Radeon RX 7000 series RDNA 3 graphics cards, so it could be a limited number of Counter Strike 2 players. The issue comes as a surprise considering that Anti-Lag+ has already been implemented in various games, including competitive ones like Apex Legends, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Fortnite, and others, and only has issues with Counter Strike 2 and its VAC system. Hopefully, AMD will fix the issue pretty soon and we will keep an eye out for an update.

Microsoft put up the latest Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 on Windows Update (retail channel). Referenced in KB5030310, this update to Windows 11 has been found to break the usability of the AMD Software application, or the main control panel utility of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers. The latest Windows 11 cumulative update preview causes AMD Software to reset custom user settings upon each system reboot (hard reboot, which reloads drivers and starts a new user session, not fast startup). The bug does not, however, affect the core display driver functionality. It's more likely that this issue will be addressed by an AMD Software update, than having to wait for the next Windows 11 Patch Tuesday.

AMD has updated its Radeon Adrenalin driver with the latest edition, 23.9.2. The newest version brings unified driver support for AMD Radeon RX 7700 and RX 7800, which the previous driver lacked, and there was a separate download for these two SKUs. Besides merging into a single unified driver, the new update brings Lies of P, Party Animals, and The Crew Motorfest game support for AMD Radeon graphics. In this driver release, the AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ feature is introduced for Starfield, Witcher 3, ELDEN RING, Immortals of Aveum, and an Anti-Lag+ screen overlay for system latency. AMD fixed some issues like application crashing while playing Baldur Gate 3 with Vulkan API on RX 7900 XTX, limited GPU clock tuning on RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT, application crash while playing SMITE on RX 7900 XTX, and application crash or driver timeout while playing F1 2023 on RX 7800 XT. There is no Cyberpunk 2077 update yet in this driver release.

AMD today released the latest version of the Adrenalin software for Radeon RX GPUs. Version 23.8.2 WHQL comes with optimization for "Starfield" almost a week ahead of its September 6 release. This is probably because "Starfield" has a brand partnership with AMD, which includes the game being optimized for Radeon GPUs and Ryzen processors, as well as AMD selling or giving away special editions of its Radeon RX 7000 series and Ryzen 7000 series products. In terms of numbers Adrenalin 23.8.2 WHQL offers up to 16% increase for "Starfield" at 4K Ultra HD over the previous version, as tested using the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT GPUs. With this release, AMD has addressed just the one issue—an application crash or driver timeout when playing "Baldur's Gate 3" with DirectX 11 renderer on certain Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.

We are happy to announce the release of Radeon GPU Detective (RGD) v1.0 - a tool for post-mortem analysis of GPU crashes. The tool allows developers to retrieve and analyze AMD GPU crash dumps and produce information that can help narrow down the search for a crash's root cause. Such information includes page fault details, resource details and execution markers reflecting the GPU work that was in progress at the moments leading to the crash.

This first version of the tool supports analysis of GPU crashes on Windows ("TDRs") in Direct3D 12 applications and requires a RX 6000 series (RDNA 2) or RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) card, in addition to the latest public AMD Radeon Adrenalin Software.

The latest patch of "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" released on Wednesday, finally adds real time ray tracing support for AMD Radeon GPUs. Patch version v1.808.0.0 went live on Wednesday, which calls upon AMD Radeon users to have at least the one-off 23.10.23.03 drivers that AMD released specifically for the game. The company latest main-trunk driver remains the Adrenalin 23.7.2 WHQL, so you'll need the off-trunk driver to use ray tracing for now. "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" on PC leverages ray tracing for reflections, shadows, and ambient-occlusion. These toggles in the game's external setup program were grayed out on older AMD drivers.

AMD just released a special version of its Adrenalin graphics drivers with specific optimization for "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart." The company's recent 23.7.2 WHQL drivers lacked day-zero optimization for the game, which caused some controversy, especially given that real time ray tracing in the game wouldn't work. The one-off drivers carry the version number 23.10.23.03, and come with optimization for the game. They also address the application crash and driver timeout issues noticed when running the game with ray tracing and DSR enabled. Since these drivers are not a part of the main driver trunk of AMD Software, we will not be hosting them.

RubyRapids and westlake tipped off VideoCardz to the presence of interesting information sitting within the latest AMD Adrenalin update notes—its integrated driver compatibility list has been expanded with the addition of a mobile-oriented iGPU Radeon 700M family (780M, 760M and 740M). It seems that Team Red's Phoenix series will be included in the main branch, and not be limited to OEM distribution for software improvements. A public driver release schedule for the Radeon 700M series will provide gamers with access to official updates through normal channels, with the benefit of—hopefully—no major delays.

VideoCardz reckons that an integration into the main branch means: "that whether the GPU being updated relies on RDNA3 in a discrete GPU or as an integrated solution, it will be fully supported through one package. The latest 23.7.2 driver now supports Radeon 7000 desktop and mobile, AMD Ryzen 7045 Dragon Range, Ryzen 7040U and Ryzen 7040HS series." The ASUS ROG Ally's Ryzen Z1 series seems to be the exception, since AMD has not included these APUs in the latest list of supported devices. Folks who have pored over the document have discovered up to "517 devices listed on the hardware support list, including PCI Device IDs and sub-IDs." Many Phoenix APU models are seemingly destined for fitting in a wide variety of laptops and (very likely handheld) gaming consoles. A mysterious model—Ryzen 7 7840S—was also spotted. This looks to be a Lenovo-specific 8-core Ryzen processor based on Phoenix silicon—ITHome believes that it utilizes a customized FP8 package.

AMD has released the latest Adrenalin 23.7.2 WHQL drivers. The release notes include several fixed issues, including those seen in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II when Radeon Anti-Lag is enabled, as well as issues with higher GPU Memory Utilization when using certain record and stream settings like instant replay, corruption seen with some player models while playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ on certain AMD graphics cards, issue with audio getting out of sync with video when recording from AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition with AVC and HEVC codecs, and display signal issues after switching windows on certain Adaptive-Sync enabled monitors with some AMD graphics cards like the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

The release notes also include a note that factory reset has been temporarily disabled as a precautionary measure due to isolated installation issues during PC upgrades, and AMD Cleanup Utility can be used as a temporary option. AMD also notes that it is working with game developers of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to resolve stability issues in the game when ray tracing is enabled, so we expect an update soon.
