AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.6.1 Released with FidelityFX Super Resolution
AMD today released the latest version of its Radeon Software Adrenalin drivers. Version 21.6.1 beta introduce support for the upcoming FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) feature, AMD's answer to the NVIDIA DLSS. We also postedour in-depth review of FSR today. The driver release notes don't mention which exact titles support it at launch, so we'll probably have to wait until a formal launch of the feature. In addition, the drivers also introduce support for the Radeon RX 6800M mobile graphics, and optimization for "Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance."
Among the bugs fixed with this release are one which causes FreeSync to lock up during task-switching, an application crash with "Anno 1800" in DirectX 12 mode; AMD Cleanup Utility accidentally mopping up non-graphics AMD drivers (such as chipset, storage, etc.); lower than expected performance with "Destiny 2" on some products; and enabling raytracing in "Ring of Elysium" causing an application crash. Grab the drivers from the link below.

36 Comments on AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.6.1 Released with FidelityFX Super Resolution
When DLSS was released we had a dozen of reviews right from the get go.
AMD FSR? Not a single review. I've found a 1080p lone video on youtube where you can barely see anything and that's it.
GCN 1-2-3 have been moved to Legacy. Wow.
Lol! I thought this was a feature the whole time! :D
Now I have to rewrite our minimum system requirements...
The developers put a lot of effort into these games, let's not throw their pixels away unnecessarily.
I use DDU whenever I need to cleanup the system from graphic drivers.
works perfectly
It's a generic lib that does thing and runs on most GPUs out there, including 1060.
I could imagine drivers optimizing for certian things, but it should be optional improvement, not a necessity.
And where are the reviews, wasn't it supposed to hit news on 22nd of June???
People are simultaneously getting their hopes for something revolutionary and amazing when nothing really indicated that.
I use DDU also only in cases if I have real issues with driver that I have suspicion that something is wrong with installation.
Mostly in cases like when I change GPU.
For example when I jumped from 6800XT to 6900XT.
