AMD Software GPU-Z

After AMD changed the name of the original driver from Radeon Software to AMD Software in the 22.3.1 version of the display driver, although it is still the Adrenalin driver, GPUZ recognized the driver after the renaming from 22.3.1 as the Crimson driver.

The attached picture is my graphics card RX 550 running on GPUZ version 2.43 and later after I updated to GPUZ version 2.45 released on March 25, it still recognized as Crimson driver instead of Adrenalin driver. I want to ask if others have encountered it this problem.

I don't really see it as a "problem" but yes, it is listed as (Crimson 22.3.1) for me as well.
A minor inaccuracy in naming that hopefully W1zzard can correct later. All the key info is still correct.

Yes, the graphics card parameters are still normal, but there is an error in the driver name recognition part

RX590 Win 11 22.3.1
RX6800 Win 10 22.3.1

Confirmed, thank you.

When you go into Radeon Settings, the About page .. it still says "Adrenalin", right?

Sorry, no idea how to reach this?
Please give specific steps, starting from right-clicking the Windows OS desktop. (Using Windows 10 OS on this PC, Windows 11 on my others.)

From what I tried, I must say I do not see "Adrenalin" anywhere, but I do not see any other (known to me) code names either. :)

Right click desktop - Radeon Settings - Some gearwheel icon I think, the same page that shows the version checker

No such thing in my right click menu, sorry.
Says -- AMD Radeon Software instead.
When I open that, then go to Detailed view of version, no code names of any kind show (Adrenalin, or others).

Please note this is on my PC with older AMD Radeon drivers, because those from May 2021 happen to be latest for AMD Radeon R9 300 Series. :)
(AMD stopped updating the drivers for both 300 Series, as well as 200 Series then.)

I can check my 2nd PC with RX 480 card later on, but not today. (too much overdue work still left.. :( )

Same thing, I have no Radeon PC available at this time, all busy benching

Screenshot please
 
Screenshot added above.
 
That's the right screenshot, but 21.5.2 .. didn't you have 22.3.2 installed recently?

Right -- that is on another PC, screenshot:
(I have TWO PCs here side by side, one has an older AMD Radeon GPU model but slightly newer Intel CPU, the other - a slightly newer AMD Radeon GPU, but older Intel CPU. :) )

Screenshots from other PC Radeon Settings, indeed "Adrenalin" is mentioned as you say. :)

Awesome, thanks, so it's still called "Adrenalin Edition", maybe they'll be removing that in a future build

You are quite welcome. :)

Why do you think they will drop it, please?
Are you seeing internal (NDA? :) ) docs from AMD saying newer Radeon drivers version(s) will lack the "Adrenalin" code name, and/or will use some other, newer code name later on this year?
(OR next year/etc)

@regorwin56 -- thanks for your confirmation. :)
 
 
Yes, sure -- please go to Sensors tab and remove showing the GPU temp in title-bar. :)

I want 390+21.5.2 in GPUZ 2.46. Turn off the temperature display and the GPUZ version above will appear

No idea what that means, sorry? What are you asking here? OR are you reporting something? Unclear.

Please use (proper) English language, so everyone here can understand you. :)
