AMD also released besides the RDNA driver, also the Vega & Polaris driver (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-11-1-polaris-vega).

I've just updated the driver of my Ryzen 5600G from 23.9.2 to 23.11.1 and can confirm it is updated:

 

[mama]

Solid update. Quite a few things done.

 

[AusWolf]

What about Anti-Lag+ support? Has it been re-added?

 

[Ferrum Master]

Direct ML improvements for Lightroom... Let's see... it usually takes 7-9s for my 33Mpx picture to do denoise. (it was 60s on 1080ti)

In case anyone else is wondering, no, it hasn't (I've just installed it).

That one could take some time, I am guessing after CES before we see that again. I miss it and all the features. Not having to load Shaders in FM8 is a nice fix though.

 

[Makaveli]

Installed these last night and they are good no issues.

3 weeks to make Forza Motorsport, an ostensibly AMD focused title, properly playable on their top end hardware... and they had the gall to release a "game ready" driver that didn't fix it, before this one. Pathetic.

You should have just refunded when you had the chance, its been clear since day 1 you dislike AMD, and honestly I don't even blame you. AMD has been behind Nvidia every step of the way when it comes to features, I personally regret not buying my friends 4090 on the cheap when I had the chance. DLSS advancements and FG would have made that a 10 year card for me. AMD is never going to be able to compete in these features, they just have always been behind on features since the Ati days, nothing has ever changed so I don't know why I expected something different.

That being said, all the games I play have been stable and work fine and smooth to play. I can't complain really on that front. If it wasn't for the brink of WW3 and instability of the markets, I would probably sell everything again and just enjoy my Steam Deck until RTX 4080 Super comes out, but I am not confident everything just won't collapse soon, so for now holding on to what I have.

Still no fix for the global tuning profile, since 23.9 I have experienced a global tuning profile bug where my undervolt setting is always reset when restart or shut down. It's either driver or 11 newest update.

Well of course, currently Tesselation, PhysX, Hairworks and GSync are widely adopted everywhere.

Have you updated windows? It has been fixed in win11 beta for 2 weeks now, and I have seen some people report it as fixed in live windows. The bug was introduced by a Windows update.

Is it only the voltage setting or everything in the Performance - Tuning window (reverting to Default tuning)? If the whole window, have you turned off Fast Startup? This solves that problem in all my RDNA I and II GPUs but I'm only using Win 10.

Settings — System — Power & Sleep — Additional power settings — Choose what the power buttons do

Uncheck Fast Startup

I'm experiencing the same issue and have not touched voltages. Assume it's some Windows 11 oddity, but I don't reboot enough to care very much.

 

[mechtech]

Hmmmmmmmmmm update?? .....................Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

They're probably going to wait until CS2 is out of rolling Alpha first.......................................

 

[Makaveli]

Performance is already great in CS2 don't even see the need to use Anti lag+ in it to be honest.

I play the game capped at 144hz of my monitor and it stays there.

Just updated Windows to 22631 and everything seems normal. I prefer not to participate in any beta roll out because they tend to introduce instability to my virtual machines.

To my observation, its only voltage setting ( frequency voltage ) and fan curve, rest unaffected.
I've already disabled fast startup since Windows 8, because in my opinion it's completely useless if you're already using an SSD.

Well I have touched fan curve, but that's still irritating.

 

[kane nas]

Has anyone tried the radeon boost in AW2?The last driver has a profile for the game but it doesn't work for me and the performance remains the same.

I was just making it clear that it was fixed for me, but it may be different for you since you are not on the beta version. I wasn't suggesting to switch to beta.

In my case, it would reset no mater what changes I made or didn't make. Even just putting it on manual without any changes would reset it. Older drivers were in the same state. I waited to see if anyone was going to complain, but nobody did, so I thought it's a window issue. I was about to report it, when I started to see people on the regular Windows 11 having the same issue. They did find out that a specific Windows update was the cause of it, and removing it would fix it.

FWIW upgrading to 23H2 fixed this for me. It seems to be specific to 22H2.
