AMD has released its latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers, version 24.8.1 WHQL. The latest drivers update adds game optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta, Concord, FINAL FANTASY XVI, and Star Wars Outlaws, as well as expands HYPR-Tune support. It also adds Anti-Lag 2 support for Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT and adds support and optimizations for Amuse 2.1 with FLUX.1 model on select Radeon, Radeon PRO and Ryzen AI series products.
AMD also fixed several issues seen with previous drivers, including intermittent application crash or driver timeout in Black Myth: Wukong, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess on some Radeon RX 6600 and 6700 series GPUs, and Pacific Drive or KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-. It also fixes artifacts in games like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Rust, improves "Optimizing Shaders" time when launching Forza Motorsport, and fixes issues with Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering settings for some OpenGL applications. There are also several known issues, and AMD also issued an important note that it is working with the developers of Star Wars Outlaws to address an intermittent corruption issue that occurs after changing certain in-game graphics settings, which can now be resolved by relaunching the game.

AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 Support for Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT
- Takes responsive gaming to the next level by introducing an in-game option to optimally pace frames, further reducing input lag on AMD RDNA architecture-based discrete and integrated graphics products.
- Get a decrease in latency in Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT at 4K "Very High" settings of up to 28% when using AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with frame generation with AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 compared to using it without AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card. RS-669
- Users looking for a way to measure response time can use our Frame Latency Meter (FLM) or the built-in latency monitor in AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2.
- Check out our new blog HERE to learn about the benefits of Anti-Lag 2 and how to monitor your latency.

Shouldn't AMD be focusing on optimizing their driver the biggest game on PC, and prolly across other platforms (platform without the 's' for now, since only PS5 has it, XBOX is a no go, a missed opportunity for MS). It's sold prolly well clear of 10 million by now (judging how PS5 and PC parts are being scalped here in the East just for this game) so I dunno why AMD is NOT putting in the work on it....meanwhile, it's focused optimizations for SW Outlaws?
