AMD Software Adrenalin 24.6.1 WHQL Released
AMD today released its latest update to AMD Software Adrenalin drivers. Version 24.6.1 WHQL comes with optimization for "The First Descendant" and "Once Human." The drivers add HYPR-TUNE profiles for Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth, Overwatch 2, The First Descendant, F1 24, and Outpost: Infinity Siege. HYPR-RX adds up to 149% performance to Radeon RX 7800 XT in Baldur's Gate 3, F1 23, Resident Evil 4 and more titles. The drivers add official support for Windows 11 24H2 update. AMD launched Anti-Lag 2 technology in May 2024, and announced the first title that support it through these drivers—Counter Strike 2. Among the issues fixed with this release include Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas failing to launch, a driver timeout with Helldivers 2 on RX 7900 series GPUs, and AMD Software performance metrics intermittently failing with this title, and a display freeze error with certain FreeSync displays.

New Game Support
Performance improvements and memory footprint reduction for Large Language Models (LLMs) thanks to 4-bit quantization acceleration support for all RDNA series discrete graphics products and RDNA 3 series integrated graphics products running ONNXRuntime with DirectML.
Technology Preview for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2) enabling PyTorch users with supported hardware to develop with AMD ROCm software on a Windows system, eliminating the need for dual boot set ups.
Introducing support for Agility SDK 1.613 and Microsoft's Agility SDK 1.614.0 functionality:

Normally I catch it on reddit first but it seems TPU was first this time around.
I normally wait at least 2-3 weeks before installing.
I think I am going to wait another month or two before I upgrade mine though, I just have no need.
I find all this new crap from AMD to be utter junk though, like HYPR-RX and frame gen in every game (I tried it and it makes games look horrible). AMD has been great for me for just basic raster gaming and stability though, I have no issues with it in that regard, I just finished Jedi Survivor and it was like 150+ fps the entire time in raster native rez FSR turned off.
so i just ignore all this new crap, cause I care about is raster anyway as native rez looks best to my eyes.
Same here on the features though, most of them don't have very much impact unless you have a relatively lower end GPU. One of my buddies with an RX 6600 uses FSR for almost everything and he appreciates being able to get more life out of his GPU because of it. Really the only feature I use out of their whole set is FRTC to cap my FPS at 160 to prevent screen tearing and standard anti lag in some competitive FPS games.
right now i have my limit at 0, but i usually leave mine on 160 too
Never really understood the point of habitually upgrading drivers on release when everything is working as it should be, can really only either stay the same or cause problems...
That said I've also never run into really *any* driver issues from either Nvidia or DAAMIT.
For some reason FRTC has never worked right for me at all, starting with my 5700XT 5 years ago. RTSS has always worked perfectly though.
With 23H2, it's not recommended to try any version before 24.1.1! Because of a reported issue of Adrenalin reporting unexpected failure on a normal boot.
So far I haven't experienced any of the above issues but I don't play any of those games either. YMMV.
Some users have issues with these drivers to, some cannot even install them i am on 23H2 my self without issues so far, many issues got fixed as well but no mention of fixes at all.
