AMD has unveiled its latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers, version 24.8.1 WHQL. This major update brings significant enhancements to support popular game titles, expands Hypr-Tune capabilities, and introduces Anti-Lag 2 support for select games. Here is a detailed look at what users can expect from this new driver release.
New Game Optimizations
The 24.8.1 update includes game optimizations for several highly anticipated titles. Gamers can now enjoy optimized performance for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta, Concord, Final Fantasy XVI, and Star Wars Outlaws. These optimizations ensure smoother gameplay and enhanced visuals, pushing the gaming experience to its best.
Expanded Hypr-Tune and Anti-Lag 2 Support
AMD has expanded Hypr-Tune support to include more titles, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Additionally, Anti-Lag 2 now supports Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, offering up to 28% decrease in input latency at 4K “Very High” settings, when combined with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with frame generation.
Issue Fixes and Known Issues
This driver update addresses several issues reported in previous versions. It fixes intermittent application crashes or driver timeouts in games like Black Myth: Wukong and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess on specific Radeon RX 6600 and 6700 series GPUs. Visual artifacts in titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Rust are resolved, and “Optimizing Shaders” times for Forza Motorsport are improved. However, some known issues remain, particularly an intermittent corruption issue in Star Wars Outlaws, which AMD is working on with the developers to resolve.
Support for Amuse 2.1 with Flux.1 Model
The new drivers also extend support for Amuse 2.1 with the Flux.1 model, optimized for select Radeon, Radeon Pro, and Ryzen AI series products. This ensures that users working with AI applications on these GPUs experience improved performance and reliability.
With the release of the Adrenalin drivers 24.8.1 WHQL, AMD continues to push the boundaries of performance and user experience. These updates are available for download, and users are encouraged to keep their drivers up to date to benefit from these latest improvements.
