AMD Software Adrenalin 23.8.1 WHQL Released
AMD has released the latest Adrenalin 23.8.1 WHQL driver, bringing support for Immortals of Aveum game, as well as several fixes, including issues with high idle power when using multi-display setups with mixed high-resolutions and high refresh rate on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs when variable refresh rate is enabled, issues with performance drop on DirectX 11 games on Radeon RX 5600 XT when AMD SmartAccess Memory is enabled, issues in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart game with ray tracing and Dynamic Resolution Scaling enabled on some AMD graphics cards, issues in Starcraft II on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs, corruption issues in Rocket League with Bloom set to off on certain AMD graphics cards, and performance drop on Radeon 700M series GPUs in various games.
Unfortunately, AMD still has not fixed issues with Baldur's Gate 3 with DirectX 11 API on Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards. AMD also included an important notes section stating that the factory reset is still 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.

There can be two options on the download page - asking for online or offline installation.. This will save around 50% of the time to install the new driver.
Thought I was perhaps lucky, but I guess this is a known issue.

just like in July we saw 23.7.1 and 23.7.2 since two drivers were released in July.
0 doesn't make sense in the above context.
lot of people forget AMD Radeon is like a fine wine, just gets better as it gets older. I hope that's how the ladies feel about me as my hair is turning gray... :roll:
