AMD has published its latest Adrenalin Edition drivers for Radeon graphics cards featuring support for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum alongside a bunch of bug fixes.
Version 23.5.1 is said to improve performance in Gollum by up to 16 per cent using RX 7900 Series or up to 12 per cent on older RX 6000 series cards. Additionally, a couple of annoying issues have been ironed out, namely driver or application crashes in DaVinci Resolve Studio during video playback and system crashes while playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
Some less problematic bugs also got fixed, responsible for display corruption when switching between video and game and high memory usage during the shader compilation of The Last of Us Part I.
VR is unfortunately still broken, while the high idle power has yet to be resolved. According to users’ observations, the latter is apparently caused by high memory clocks which don’t revert to a lower stat when idling.
Adrenalin Edition version 23.5.1 can be downloaded from AMD’s website or directly from the driver’s update section.
The full list of changes goes as follows:
Highlights
- Support for:
- The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
- Up to 16% increase in performance in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum @ 4k, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.5.1 on the Radeon RX 7900 Series GPUs, versus the previous software driver version 23.4.3
- Up to 12% increase in performance in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum @ 4k, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.5.1 on the Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs, versus the previous software driver version 23.4.3
- The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Fixed Issues
- Application crash or driver timeout may be observed during video playback using DaVinci Resolve Studio.
- Brief display corruption may occur when switching between video and game windows on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 6700 XT.
- Higher than expected memory usage during shader compilation time when first launching THE LAST OF US Part I.
- Intermittent system crash while playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 580.
Known Issues
- High idle power has situationally been observed when using select high-resolution and high refresh rate displays on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.
- Video stuttering or performance drops may be observed during gameplay and video playback with some extended display configurations on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.
- Some virtual reality games or applications may experience lower-than-expected performance on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.
- Application crash may be intermittently observed while playing RuneScape on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 5700 XT.
