AMD Software Adrenalin 23.2.1 Released: Finally Updates for RX 6000 Series and Older

JAB Creations · Feb 15, 2023

It looks like they fixed the Vivaldi + YouTube + Fullscreen bug, hooray!

Forspoken came free with my RX 6800 and this driver plus a patch on Steam hopefully fixed the always-crashes bug.

I'm glad the driver developers are making progress and hope (as a developer myself) that they know at least some people on the Internet appreciate their hard work.

Meanwhile Intel+Nvidia fanboys busy at their computers:

My main and daily driver rig is still on 21.5.1 and not a single refused to work. My test benches are using the latest stuff and guess what, it works. I do admit that there are some hickups after 21.5.1, but everyone can stick with the older version and report the issues....but most just complain and dont report it properly.

Lucas_ · Feb 15, 2023

until now i have no issues, i report back later again

This driver messed up my laptop with AMD Cezanne iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU
NVIDIA clock permanently switches between max and zero until i rolled back to Adrenalin 23.1.2
Usually i could fix that simply by rebooting, this time not.
Well, i asked for trouble when i bought this hardware configuration

You should use the driver from the laptop manufacturer's website, not this version.

Why isn't Fast Boot disabled for you from the getgo? Any self respecting PC gamer should know by now that Fast Boot is one of the first things to disable on a fresh installed Windows. You can not imagine how much pain Fast Boot causes us IT repair technicians. (I get at least 1 client per week where Fast Boot is the culprit). Not only that, with fast SSDs becoming the norm, it doesn't even provide any "faster" boot.

On topic: I'm going to test the drivers later, see if it improves anything on my 7900XT (power consumption maybe?)

Because i've had zero issues with Fast boot enabled so why turn it off.

Nah mate, they only just released support for dead space.
Not good enough, it's been out months now, I'm upto chapter 4.
No, wait, .

Dead space came out on Jan 27 and the drivers feb 14 last time I checked that doesn't equal Months!

Decades later they brought support out, decades

I was being sarky.

It just worked anyway

Dave65 · Feb 15, 2023

Did they remove the overclocking feature for CPU or have I run into a bug?

Gotta love the baseless accusations. I thought it was pretty bad, and I have been documented to own an AMD product in my thinkpad for some time.

SpaceEngine performance fix is most overdue.

Just a heads up.

I installed these a couple hours ago and ran into a Windows repair boot loop and had to use a restore point to go back to 11.2 drivers.

Some other people have reported this in the reddit thread.

And now a few hours later I solved the issue some of you may need to disable Fast Boot in your bios before the driver install. After that it installed windows rebooted normally I have since renabled fast boot and everything is good now.

I personally would and have turned "Fast Boot" off nonetheless. With modern SSDs you do not get much from having it on apart from quite some issues that are related to it being on. If you want to "boot" even faster rather use "Save Energy" instead of shutting down the system.

BlaezaLite · Feb 15, 2023

Updated and nothing has exploded yet.

It's a good start, now lets see if AMD can maintain this or if we have to wait until may for another updated driver again.

I am happy to wait to until May and give them time to make proper optimizations, rather than releasing a few bits every couple of weeks.

To be honest I have just left fast boot on from the last bios flash. I never turn off my system at most it may go to sleep mode.

For those that didn't brick your Windows installation, this driver is a godsend for emulators.

Space Lynx · Feb 15, 2023

not sure why it says 6950 xt is the only that got the fps gains, my 6800 xt got it, and someone else also said their 6700 xt also got the gains.

kane nas · Feb 15, 2023

Installed driver on 2 systems with 6800 and 5700xt no problem, DDU worked fine with the classic uninstall method, and the uninstall-install with AMD software went just as well, I have seen a big performance increase in Doom Eternal with RT on,Callisto Protocol,Cyberpunc 2077,Dying Light 2 and A Plague Tale - Requiem have a performance increase of close to 3% I also read about a 40% performance increase in 3Dmark,DirectX Raytracing feature test but I have not verified it with my own system.

Some of us actually play games... I use SpaceEngine regularly and it was quite irritating.

Anyways, better fixed late than never.

I haven't tried RT on anything, but it is good to know

I have RT even more now,, I'm not sure if a 7900Xt counts though because to some a 2060 doesn't but none the less it's still very niche IMHO I find myself wondering why so few titles use RT more.

Though I still think it really doesn't matter in many cases.

My install went fine fast boot on, no improvement no regression in benches.

I've had no problems with these drivers and Fast Boot enabled. Reddit being reddit.

The issue didn't affect everyone so this time not really reddit being reddit.

And considering AMD reached out to me on reddit to capture my system specs to see if they can recreate the issue seems they are taking it seriously.

Minus Infinity · Feb 16, 2023

Just installed on win10, zero problems. I used ddu_18.060 to clean out previous drivers, and have never enabled fast boot.

GamerGuy · Feb 16, 2023

I've installed this driver for both my RX 7900 XTX and RX 6900 XT rigs, both on Win11, and I have tried a few games with this driver, so far, it's looking good...for the RX 7900 XTX. I have fired up the RX 6900 XT yet, it's a new build from some spare parts, still cleaning up things, and my messy room as well.

Thimblewad · Feb 16, 2023

Great, but 16xAF is still broken. 8x works fine, as soon as you put it on 16x it completely disables AF in all games.

Shrek · Feb 16, 2023

Are the drivers causing problems?
AMD drivers are bricking Windows 11 systems...again (msn.com)

Vya Domus · Feb 16, 2023

We haven't confirmed the driver issue ourselves yet, but the official Twitter account for frame capture tool CapFrameX tweeted out a possible cause for the issue, indicating that the driver might be making changes to the system BIOS.

Here we go with the bs claims again, just like those drivers causing GPU to explode.
