AMD Unveils Radeon Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 WHQL Driver

[Ravenlord]

I had a problem with this release. There was long freeze durning youtube playback (and maybe with other hardware accelerated elements). I did obvious updates for everthing (which didn't helped), but bios update works for this as a solution. There was Agesa update (AM4) from current 1.2.0.8 to new 1.2.0.A. Just a potential solution.
Edit. Ehh just half solution, some things still not work well.

Just tested this in Apex Legends. Anti-Lag+ gets it close to a RTX 4070 Ti/4080/4090 with Reflex On + Boost (3.8ms) at 5.2ms which is an impressive jump. Normal Anti-Lag was doing 8ms to 10ms. This is at 1080p360.

Using a 2,000Hz polling rate mouse at 240+ FPS (but still below the 300 FPS cap) is noticeably smoother. Supergliding (straight, not sideways) with a 60HE at 1.4mm actuation feels more consistent.

Will try it out in Elden Ring and see if quick step frame skipping is better.

What did you test with and where are the RTX metrics from? Hardware solution like LDAT or OSLTT, or software like CapFrameX, PresentMon, Frameview, OCAT or?
I'm just malding as RDNA2 don't have it, to me feels like a far cry from GCN days.

+1 to this.

Just pressed one button... and that's it.

Same, that's what I've always done and it's worked flawlessly every time. Stop background apps, pause windows update, go into adrenalin and let the tool do it's work. Reboot and presto.

No, no hardware solution. I'm just using the built-in overlays of their driver's software (Radeon Software/Adrenalin and GeForce Experience).

Apex Legends, although it has a toggle for NVIDIA functions, is still more "biased" toward AMD cards due to the game being on the Source engine, thus being more rasterization heavy and less on shaders and textures. This has never been a real problem for AMD GPUs but any latency reduction improvement is always welcome as it is a fast-paced movement FPS/battle royale.

The 7900 XTX having more ROPs than the RTX 4090 (192 vs 176) gives it this advantage, while the latter's advantage is in textures (384 vs 512 TMUs), shaders (96 CUs, 12288 stream processors due to VLIW vs 16384) and obviously ray-tracing, which is why you can see the XTX slightly beat out the 4090 in some games (Starfield, Call of Duty, etc.).

And here's what I get on a 6900XT. Stay classy AMD.

I was experiencing this error as well but circumvented it by downloading the driver from the graphics card manufacturer itself (in this case PowerColor -- I cannot confirm if this works for other manufacturers).
