AMD has released its latest Radeon 23.9.2 GPU Driver which adds support for the latest games, Anti-Lag+ in various titles, and several optimizations.
AMD Has Now Separated GCN & RDNA Radeon GPU Drivers, New Driver Adds Anti-Lag+ Support For Various Games
The new version, 23.9.2, now supports titles like Lies of P and The Crew Motorfest. AMD has expanded game compatibility, and software utilities like Anti Lag+ have also received extended support for games like The Witcher 3.
It is a well-rounded update, and you can view the changelog below:
New Feature Highlights
- New Game Support
- Lies of P
- Party Animals
- The Crew Motorfest
- Additional SDK Support
- Microsoft Agility SDK Preview Release v1.711.3 including Shader Model 6.8 functionality for Work Graphs, Wave Matric, and AV1 Encode.
- Microsoft Agility SDK Retail Release 1.610.5 including Enhanced Barriers and Vulkan on DX12 compatibility features.
- New AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ Game Support
- AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 introduces Anti-Lag+ support for Starfield, Witcher 3, ELDEN RING, and Immortal of Aveum.
- Up to 45% decrease in latency across select titles when AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ is on, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU in select titles, versus when AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ is off.
- AMD Radeon Anti-Lag+ features an onscreen overlay that can be used to display the system latency of supported games. When Anti-Lag+ is enabled, the onscreen overlay can be toggled on using ALT+SHIFT+L hotkey.
- Toggling the hotkey will first enable the status indicator of Anti-Lag+ (a white triangle), and then display latency in ms or number of frames.
- To compare the difference between Anti-Lag+ and Anti-Lag, hold the DEL key. To compare the difference between Anti-Lag+ On and Off, hold the right CTRL key.
- Use the ALT+SHIFT+F hotkey to monitor FPS when Anti-Lag or Anti-Lag+ is enabled in the game.
- AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.2 introduces Anti-Lag+ support for Starfield, Witcher 3, ELDEN RING, and Immortal of Aveum.
Fixed Issues
- Application crashes may be observed while playing Baldur's Gate 3 with Vulkan API set on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
- GPU Clock may be artificially limited to 2700 MHz when performing manual tuning on Radeon RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT graphics.
- The display may not reach the correct brightness with certain games on select SAMSUNG FreeSync Premium Pro monitors or TVs with the local dimming settings enabled.
- Application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing SMITE on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
- Intermittent application crashes or driver timeout may be observed while playing F1 23 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT.
AMD has separated the GCN drivers from the mainstream RDNA ones with this driver update. GCN represents last-gen GPU models within the company's portfolio for those unaware. The reason behind this hasn't been disclosed yet, but it is a step towards "prioritizing" next-gen development; hence, it indicates that GCN drivers may receive fewer updates compared to the mainstream GPUs in the future.
