AMD late Thursday released the Adrenalin 23.7.1 WHQL drivers. While these do not come with optimization for any new games since the previous 23.5.2 drivers, they add several new Vulkan API extensions, and fix a few issues. In particular, they introduce Vulkan-based accelerated video decode for H.264 and H.265 formats, among 8 other extensions spanning the Khronos and Valve trunks. The drivers also claim to improve idle power and multi-monitor power draw of RX 7000 series GPUs.

Among the issues fixed with Adrenalin 23.7.1 WHQL include sub-optimal VR performance or stuttering noticed with RX 7000 series GPUs, and an application crash for DaVinci Resolve Studio with AV1 video playback. The drivers improve idle- and multi-monitor power-draw for RX 7000 series GPUs on some 4K@144 Hz displays, and multi-monitor configurations. Display corruption noticed with WWE 2K23, and Nioh 2 have been fixed.

Highlights
Support for additional Vulkan extensions.
  • VK_KHR_cooperative_matrix for Radeon RX 7000 series
  • VK_KHR_ray_tracing_position_fetch for Radeon RX 6000 and newer series
  • VK_KHR_video_decode_h264
  • VK_KHR_video_decode_h265
  • VK_KHR_video_decode_queue
  • VK_KHR_video_queue
  • VK_EXT_device_address_binding_report
  • VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type
  • VK_EXT_mutable_descriptor_type
  • VK_EXT_dynamic_rendering_unused_attachments
Fixed Issues
  • Certain virtual reality games or applications may encounter suboptimal performance or occasional stuttering on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.
  • Application crash or driver timeout may be observed during playback of AV1 video content using DaVinci Resolve Studio.
  • Improvements to high idle power when using select 4K@144 Hz FreeSync enabled displays or multimonitor display configurations (such as 4K@144HZ or 4K@120 Hz + 1440p@60 Hz display) using on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.
  • Intermittent corruption may be observed playing WWE 2K23 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
  • Intermittent corruption may be observed after switching windows while playing Nioh 2 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 6800 XT.
Known Issues
  • Application crash may be intermittently observed while playing RuneScape on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 5700 XT.
  • Intermittent corruption may be observed around some player models while playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 6900 XT.
  • Stuttering may be observed while playing Call of Duty : Modern Warfare II with Radeon Anti-Lag enabled. As a temporary solution, users encountering this are recommended to disable the Anti-Lag in the per-game settings.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay may report N/A for FPS on various games.
  • Display signal may be lost after switching windows on certain Adaptive-Sync enable displays on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
  • Higher than expected GPU Memory Utilization when using certain Record and Stream settings such as Instant Replay.

This should be considered a big update because they actually fixed the VR performance issues. It took them 6 months to do it, but at least both the RX 7900XT and XTX are better than the 6950XT now.
 
Idle power usage also fixed for me on a single display.

Finally! I guess it remains to be seen if this is just per-specific config whitelisting or better VRAM downclock across the board.

Hmm I am on 2560x1440p at 165MHz not really sure if it's lower with my custom setting Power limit 15% and voltage 1020mV

Maybe......but 40W 900MHz single monitor just sounds like video playback behaviour. This actually taken at idle?

Just Brave running but not video playback was running but with yt running in the background with Gamers Nexus or a random song it's the same so maybe just the chromium hw acceleration that's using power :)

23.7.1 Drivers.

The idle power consumption on both drivers hangs around the 111w mark majority of the time, can spike up to 121w for a couple of seconds. Baffling AMD? :kookoo:

 
Did they fix monitor timeout pc rebot? I have problem with pc on idle or chrome left open, when montior switches of my pc rebots. I have 6600xt and disabling ULPS in registry fixed that.

That's idle?? Just with your 4k/120hz TV?? Doesn't look idle to me

Yes that's idle, nothing opened, chilling on the desktop with a 4k 120hz TV.
 
Will check the driver later, but any consumption saving is welcome!

I have a triple monitor setup, on 23.5.2, and last time I checked I was using 90-100w WITH YouTube going, something seems wrong with your setup.

FYI; 48” LG c2 4K/120, 1440p/240 oled, and 1080p/75
 
Hmmm
I am on wait what - I thought I was on Q4 pro 2022...........looks like it updated??

Looks like you will have to wait for the next driver update.

Memory clocks at 2487 Mhz while idle seems to be the issue in your setup.

Memory clocks at 2487 Mhz have been the standard since installing this card. I was under the impression that this was the reason for high idle power on the AMD 7000 series, and that this driver update was supposed to fix it.

With my setup on the previous driver my memory clocks were never that high. It would drop to 900 Mhz but not lower until the new driver.
