AMD Software Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL Released
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. Grab the driver from the link below.

I will wait something with good news about performance improvements in percentages. :D
That is 24.12.1 or 25.1.1, etc.
I see one problem - the lackluster Counter - Strike 2 performance which simply doesn't work on any RDNA 3 Radeon 7000 series GPU.
They need 30-40% performance improvement in this title:

Because in other titles it seems fine:

As a potential user I'm curious as to what I can possibly achieve with this GPU. If core frequency limit stays the same it's still a questionable value product (outside Russia, it can differ due to pricing of course; I personally don't mind explosive levels of TDP since electricity is almost free and my PSU is a kW Gold sample).
Not sure about this release if not I will just stick to last year 23.X drivers.
24.1.1 is working well for me, so far.
I play this at 144hz locked and it runs fine.
EDIT: After continuing to mess around with the new driver it seems like the "VRAM auto overclock" is now setting a target of 2450MHz whereas before it would set it at 2400MHz. Applied this 2450MHz number to my custom OC profile and it seems stable where before it would typically not be. Could someone else with a Navi 21 KXTX die try and reproduce this? I've not seen this behavior from a driver before and am a bit confused as to how this would be possible.
