AMD Software Adrenalin 26.10.1 WHQL Drivers Released

AMD has released its Adrenalin 26.10.1 WHQL graphics drivers, adding FSR Upscaling 4.1 support for Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards and several Ryzen AI processor families. The release follows yesterday's announcement that AMD plans to bring FSR 4.1 to older Radeon GPUs, APUs, and Xbox. The new upscaling version supports Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products released back in 2020 and powered by the RDNA 2 graphics architecture. AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 also arrives to Ryzen AI Max "Strix Halo" and "Gorgon Halo" APUs, and Ryzen AI 9 "Strix Point" and "Gorgon Point" mobile processors. The drivers also add support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, STAR WARS: Galactic Racer, and FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE.

In these new graphics drivers, AMD has fixed a stuttering issue that could occur in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products and newer models. Several known issues remain, as detailed in the release notes that follow, as usual.

Installed and everything seems good so far.

"AMD Smart Access Memory may become disabled after driver installation on Windows 10 systems."

This one required two reboots for it to activate on some systems as of the last few drivers updates for me its has been working 26.9.1 26.9.2 without requiring the extra reboots and same for this 26.10.1 driver on Win 10 here.

Just FYI, the HAGS fix didn't make it for this update. It is expected to be ready for the next one.

However, multi-frame generation has still not been introduced, so it’s not particularly meaningful.

Who knows, maybe in two or three years they'll fix a quarter of the known issues.

Very few people are asking for MFG on Radeon.

Extensive FSR4 support on the other hand has been asked for on older products for a while now. So speak for yourself.

This I never used FG no interest in fake frames I do however used FSR4 on UE5 titles.

Seen far too many people that will crank the settings so they are getting 30 fps then throwing on FG to hit 60 fps yuck!

The Optiscaler team rocks. Latest test build now supports and allows switching between all the new models (INT8 RDNA2 and INT8 Lite). It also supports the new native Vulkan implementation, no more need for a DX12 bridge, less upscaling overhead in Vulkan games.

I'm liking FSR4 at native (2160p) on my 6900XT. Will actually use this. Taking almost a 15% performance hit but still getting ~60fps in War Thunder and ~120fps with FG.

FSR3/XeSS2 at native was too blurry. Then any version of DLSS balanced on my laptops RTX 3050 (1200p) was too blurry as well. So I have been running without any AA/Upscaling.
