AMD Releases Software Adrenalin 24.8.1 WHQL Drivers

AMD has released its latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers, version 24.8.1 WHQL. The latest drivers update adds game optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta, Concord, FINAL FANTASY XVI, and Star Wars Outlaws, as well as expands HYPR-Tune support. It also adds Anti-Lag 2 support for Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT and adds support and optimizations for Amuse 2.1 with FLUX.1 model on select Radeon, Radeon PRO and Ryzen AI series products.

AMD also fixed several issues seen with previous drivers, including intermittent application crash or driver timeout in Black Myth: Wukong, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess on some Radeon RX 6600 and 6700 series GPUs, and Pacific Drive or KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-. It also fixes artifacts in games like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Rust, improves "Optimizing Shaders" time when launching Forza Motorsport, and fixes issues with Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering settings for some OpenGL applications. There are also several known issues, and AMD also issued an important note that it is working with the developers of Star Wars Outlaws to address an intermittent corruption issue that occurs after changing certain in-game graphics settings, which can now be resolved by relaunching the game.

    • Get a decrease in latency in Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT at 4K "Very High" settings of up to 28% when using AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with frame generation with AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 compared to using it without AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card. RS-669
    • Users looking for a way to measure response time can use our Frame Latency Meter (FLM) or the built-in latency monitor in AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2.
  • Check out our new blog HERE to learn about the benefits of Anti-Lag 2 and how to monitor your latency.

AusWolfFrame generation is an extra feature, not some general performance boost. I think you misunderstood the question.

You specifically quoted AFMF, but now you expect me to click the link and scroll? You're deflecting as always. :kookoo:

So "up to" 12 to 16% depending on GPU used. Do you call that significant?

Because you're unhappy with my answer, as always.

Follow the TPU link and see for yourself how much improvements have been there - if you don't like 12-16, then maybe in some another driver release, the percentages are 22-26, 32-36 and so on :D


Why does the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition pop up on the desktop every time the monitor goes to sleep?
What is this new "feature"?

If you take the effort to quote something, at least do the courtesy of quoting what you want me to reply on. "Then maybe" doesn't interest me. Facts do.

1. I've never seen that happen.
2. Why are you deflecting the topic again?

Thats a feature addition in my view, not a specific game optimisation.

Of all the things you could chose to cite to chase your point, you chose friggin frame interpolation?
AusWolf2. Why are you deflecting the topic again?
I'm begining to wonder if he isn't just outright trolling to derail discussions at this point. Like seriously, half his comments are off-the-wall straight up offtopic out of nowhere.
