AMD Releases Adrenalin Edition 25.12.1 WHQL Drivers

AMD has released its latest AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.12.1 WHQL drivers, headlined by support for AMD FSR 4 "Redstone", the company's next-gen FidelityFX Super Resolution technology. The driver also adds product support for the Radeon AI PRO R9600D and Radeon AI PRO R9700S, alongside several fixes. These include Radeon Anti-Lag 2 not available in Counter-Strike 2 (DX11), crashes with some HDMI 2.1 displays during standby, intermittent Radeon Overlay freezes, and a crash in ARC Raiders on the Blue Gate map on RX 9000 series GPUs.

Known issues remain, including Cyberpunk 2077 path-tracing crashes, instability in Battlefield 6 on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Roblox Player crashes when task-switching on RX 7000 GPUs, Battlefield 6 texture flicker when using Record & Stream, and incorrect shadows in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. AMD says fixes are in progress.

Their Adrenalin driver are still bundled with that crapware "AMD Chat" that is surreptitiously installed if you don't pay attention and make the mistake of using the "Express Install" option, even if in the past you already said no to it.

TPU should add this type of info to every such article, name and shame until they stop trying to pull this kind of crap.

Many AMD_WATCHDOG-20251210 dump with my 7900xtx and OLED TV with this version ! For me it's not fixed or partially fixed.

Right? Why is this garbage in the drivers? And ticked by default and it's a 20GB download. Absolutely ridiculous. And who even wants or needs this?

I was hoping AMD would include AFMF 3 in these drivers, but that's not the case. It's still version 2.1 which is a bit of a bummer. Upside is that FSR3 FrameGen can now be upgraded to ML enhanced Redstone version by the driver just like FSR3.1 can be upgraded to FSR4.

I've only tried it in Marvel Rivals, but I have to say, it's actually usable now. Visually I didn't have issues with it before, but it was the latency which was just entirely unacceptable only with FSR3 FrameGen (AFMF 2.1 wasn't affected for me). To my surprise, there is tiny bit of latency, but it's so little I can play a shooter with it which I consider pretty good. It wasn't the case with prior version. Marvel Rivals does automatically enable Intel's XeSS Low Latency mode which is apparently hardware agnostic and works on AMD too. Maybe that helped enough.

Gonna try FrameGen in other games to see how it works there...

Drivers seem significantly more stable in BF6.... Overclocks are holding

I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried it out.
It's frigging useless 😂. No idea what the 20Gb is for...
