AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 23.12.1 WHQL Released

AMD today released the latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin Edition. Version 23.12.1 WHQL comes with optimization for "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora," and "The Finals." The AMD Software UI has undergone a redesign for its Home and Gaming tabs, which make it easier to enable HYPR-RX profiles on a global or per-game basis. With this release, AMD also introduced HYPR-RX Eco, a performance enhancement that prioritizes energy savings, and should benefit gaming notebooks.

The Radeon Software Adrenalin 23.12.1 WHQL drivers now extend FRTC, Radeon Super Resolution, Overlay, Record and Stream features to OpenGL applications. The drivers also finally re-enable Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling, but for Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs only. The drivers also enable addtional Vulkan API extensions. Among the issues fixed with this release are high idle power in dual monitor setups with mixed resolutions and high refresh rates; intermittent stuttering seen in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge), on a machine in which a secondary display is connected to a Radeon RX 7000 series GPU, on machines with Ryzen 7000 series processors.
