https://www.techpowerup.com/323952/amd-software-adrenalin-24-6-1-whql-released AMD today released its latest update to AMD Software Adrenalin drivers. Version 24.6.1 WHQL comes with optimization for "The First Descendant" and "Once Human." The drivers add HYPR-TUNE profiles for Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth, Overwatch 2, The First Descendant, F1 24, and Outpost: Infinity Siege. HYPR-RX adds up to 149% performance to Radeon RX 7800 XT in Baldur's Gate 3, F1 23, Resident Evil 4 and more titles. The drivers add official support for Windows 11 24H2 update. AMD launched
Anti-Lag 2 technology in May 2024, and announced the first title that support it through these drivers—Counter Strike 2. Among the issues fixed with this release include Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas failing to launch, a driver timeout with Helldivers 2 on RX 7900 series GPUs, and AMD Software performance metrics intermittently failing with this title, and a display freeze error with certain FreeSync displays.
