AMD Software Adrenalin 23.5.1 WHQL Released

AMD released the latest version of its Adrenalin graphics drivers. Support for the recently launched Radeon RX 7600 doesn't yet feature in its change-log, although it introduces optimization for "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum," with up to 16% increase in frame-rates seen at 4K compared to the previous 23.4.3 drivers on the RX 7900 series graphics cards; and up to 12% increase seen at the same resolution, on older RX 6000 series GPUs.

Among the handful issues fixed with this release are an intermittent crash noticed during video playback in DaVinci Resolve Studio. A display corruption may occur when switching between video playback and gameplay on cards such as the RX 6700 XT, which has been fixed. Higher than expected memory usage during shader compilation during the first launch of "The Last of Us: Part 1" has been fixed. Lastly, an intermittent crash with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" on older AMD Radeon GPUs, such as the RX 580, has been fixed.
