AMD has released a new driver for its graphics cards that is designed to provide the best gaming experience in God of War: Ragnarok, Frostpunk 2 and Final Fantasy 16.
According to the release notes, the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.20.11.01 driver provides optimal performance in the latest upcoming triple-A PC games. As mentioned, these are God of War: Ragnarok and Frostpunk 2. In addition, it extends support for Final Fantasy 16. It also adds support for the DX11 update for The Sims 4.
This new driver also includes a number of bug fixes. For example, it fixes an intermittent driver timeout or application crash when playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. It also fixes an intermittent driver timeout or application crash during certain cutscenes when playing FINAL FANTASY XVI.
And that's not all. This driver fixes the dark shadows or desaturated colors that may occur when playing Black Myth: Wukong. In addition, it fixes an intermittent in-game crash when playing Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT with AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Record & Streaming and HDR enabled.
Finally, I would like to note that this driver does not fix some performance issues that may occur in DayZ, so you may want to wait for a new driver.
As always, you can download this new driver from the official AMD website. You can also find the full changelog below.
