AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.1.1 Radeon Beta Driver Released

AleksandarK · 2025-01-23T19:56:13+0000

AMD has released its latest Adrenalin Edition 25.1.1 Radeon beta driver today, supporting additional gaming titles, improvements, and bug fixes. In this release, AMD has brought driver game support for the newly released FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, released today, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which is finally coming to PCs after being console-exclusive for years. AMD has brought day-one support and has managed to fix some software issues along the way. First in line is the improvement in performance while playing Apex Legends with DirectX 12 API, which has been a pain point for AMD's drivers. Previously, some AI enthusiasts experienced lower-than-expected performance while using LM Studio on AMD Ryzen AI and Radeon products, which is now also fixed.

However, some issues persist. Users can experience a partial black screen problem in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 when using Radeon Anti-Lag 2 and Ray Tracing on AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors, intermittent crashes in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, driver timeouts in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and performance stuttering in Marvel Rivals with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 frame generation. Additionally, users may encounter an intermittent AMD Bug Report Tool appearance after using the AMD Cleanup Utility and potential HEVC encoding issues with OBS Studio's Twitch-enhanced broadcasting, which will hopefully be fixed soon.

When's the last time they've done a "beta" driver that wasn't tied to some preview tech like fluid motion frames or anti-lag?

I mean, does this not make sense to use for that? beta as in not finished so they can gather feedback from real world users to then fix it for the full release?
Just see beta as preview drivers I guess.

Locked 2160p120 FPS in FF7 REBIRTH. It dips down to 115 sometimes (using the Steam FPS counter lol) but pretty smooth all the way.

I will wait until the driver is out of beta before updating no issues with 24.12.1 currently.

Right, but this isn't that, there's no new tech attached to this one.

FF7 REBIRTH runs fine even with 24.12.1. I tried it before updating to 25.1.1. There wasn't any noticeable performance difference before and after I updated.

FFS they still haven't fixed Delta Force stuttering? The last driver that works fine with it is 24.8.1 omfg!

I run delta force fine on 24.12.1 with DX12 on my system.

Make sure your chipset drivers are up to date or run the game in DX11 mode.

I have a friend with a 4070 Ti that also has stutter in DF not specifically an AMD issue.

Same. The only issue I have is the AV1 encoding @1080p bug but that's well known to be a 7xxx hardware bug so I just don't do AV1 at 1080p and all is well.

I am pretty sure you would be surprised to see how it runs with 24.8.1. Perhaps it's not as noticeable when you have a card that can run it at high fps, but the stutters/frame drops are still there.
I'm going to try with Dx12 again now that I have a new card, but I'm sure it will suck just like it did with the 6600.

Lies from Nvidia marketing. AMD drivers are rock solid, just read the comments in the TPU forums.

I deleted yesterday my post after It was online for a few minutes.

AMD graphic card drivers are very, very bad for windows 11 pro.

I do not care if another chip brand works better. I own a amd graphic card. that needs better drivers for gnu linux for the bare minimum and much better gaming driver for windows 11 pro. Or at least remove those windows 11 pro amd gpu driver options which are broken. I prefer less features, but features which works.

6800 non xt graphic card had issues -> sold after 3 months
current 7800xt graphic card bugs after bugs in windows 11 pro for gaming.

The nvidia graphic driver for my geforce 660m gtx never was an attention seeker from my previous gaming laptop. That card just worked. I had that notebook for a very long time. Well it was mostly gnu gentoo linux and a bit windows 10 home oem. That driver just worked - without bothering - few features - no issues - regardless of the driver version - for many - many - many - many - many years.

I can say amd graphic cards 6600XT / 6800 non xt / 7800xt - as a first buyer experience with windows 10 pro and later now windows 11 pro is very problematic.

Interesting, maybe your problem lies elsewhere, because I also have a 7800 XT and Win Pro, and I can't recall ever having a single issue with it.

Also, been running this beta version since yesterday, rock solid as well.
