AMD Software Adrenalin 22.5.2 Released

[btarunr]

AMD released the Software Adrenalin 22.5.2 beta drivers. These come with optimization for "Sniper Elite 5," the latest Year Two update of "Hitman 3" that adds real-time ray tracing, and a handful new Vulkan API extensions. The drivers also extend Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) to the Ryzen 6000 series processors with Radeon 600M-series iGPUs based on the RDNA2 graphics architecture. RSR gets a new feature that lets you adjust sharpness using a slider. AMD also introduced several under-the-hood optimizations for DirectX 11 for the RDNA2 architecture, which means up to 8 percent performance increase across the board on Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs in all DirectX 11 games.

With this release, AMD also introduced Privacy View, a feature that tracks your eyes using your web-camera, and only reveals those portions of the screen with clarity, which you're looking at. The company also introduced additional optimizations for "Watch Dogs: Legion," for Smart Access Memory (Resizable BAR), adding anywhere between 6 percent to 24 percent higher frame-rates, depending on the GPU. Grab these must-have drivers from the link below.

Support For

• Sniper Elite 5
• Hitman 3 Ray Tracing Update
• Additional Vulkan extensions.

Radeon Super Resolution

• Additional support - RSR is now compatible with AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors with integrated graphics.
• New "Sharpen Effect" slider that allows you to fine-tune the sharpness effect of RSR to your own desired settings.

AMD Privacy View

• A unique software powered by cutting-edge, eye tracking technology built in partnership with the team at Eyeware - monitors your eye movement and reveals only the spot on the screen you are looking at while dimming the rest, keeping prying eyes away from your screen and your information safer.

DirectX 11 optimizations for Radeon RX 6000 series

• Up to 8% increase in performance in DirectX 11-based games, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.5.2 on the Radeon RX 6950 XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.5.1 RS-470

AMD Smart Access Memory optimizations for Death Stranding and Watch Dogs : Legion

• Up to 10% increase in performance with new SAM optimizations in Death Stranding @ 1440p Very High settings and up to 13% increase in performance with new SAM optimizations in Watch Dogs : Legion, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.5.2 on the Radeon RX 6950 XT, versus AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.5.1RS-471
• Up to 12% increase in performance with new SAM optimizations in Death Stranding @ 1440p Very High settings and up to 24% increase in performance with new SAM optimizations in Watch Dogs : Legion, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Editiosn 22.5.2 on the Radeon RX 6750 XT, versus AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.5.1RS-472

VK_KHR_push_descriptor is broken.
If anyone has crashes on Vulkan, stick to 22.5.1.

Regular crashes with 22.5.2 on my RX 6800 XT. Especially when I watch videos on Youtube.

The driver seems to be working on one of my machines with an RX480, but GPUz and HWMonitor aren't displaying gpu info like clock speeds, ram and load. These drivers are a bit broken.

No issue on my 3 PCs:
-5800X // 6900XT // W11
-1800X // 5700XT // W11 (it works...)
-3500U // VEGA8 // W11
Zen / Zen+ / Zen3 // VEGA / RDNA1 / RDNA2.

I updated to this driver last night and was watching Youtube video's no issues or crashing in general.

 

[Errant1]

INSTALLED - Win 10 Pro 64 bit Sapphire RX590 - Every
Thing seems stable, Running TriXx 85% boost 2k 1440 on 144hz. BATTLEFIELD 4 FPS seemed lower but rendering seemed smoother. May have enabled performance settings affecting fps. So far so good. Battlefield 2042 had graphics corruption in menus and in game, not sure if EA or AMD?

That card is long in the tooth

Use Enterprise Drivers if these dont work for you

Issue encountered: video playback issue with Media Player on 3500U / VEGA8 (not using it, it was just a test).
No issue with VLC; MPC-HC, etc. So I tried with all UWP apps installed on my laptop: same issue: playback stuttering with no CPU / GPU load at all...
No issue on my 2 other PCs.
Just reported it to AMD.

Wrong assessment. It was W11 related. Sorry for the charge, everything's fine after W11 update I delayed previously.
