AMD Software 26.6.1 Drivers Support Microsoft Advanced Shader Delivery in XBOX PC App

Microsoft today rolled out Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD), a feature that allows game developers to ship pre-compiled shaders to end-users specific to graphics hardware, to minimize game loading times. Modern games perform runtime shader compilation on the end-user's machine, usually during the first startup of an installed game, or when graphics settings are significantly changed, to build or rebuild shaders specific to the installed hardware. This can sometimes take frustratingly long, as your machine is essentially compiling code for your GPU. Microsoft developed a framework to eliminate this on the XBOX PC app, but this requires participation of hardware vendors. AMD is onboard.

AMD announced that its recently released Adrenalin 26.6.1 WHQL drivers support Advanced Shader Delivery feature on the XBOX PC app. This allows game developers to stream pre-compiled shaders, reducing game loading times by up to 95%, or as if you're trying to launch the game after shader compilation. AMD says that the feature is rolling out to all RDNA architecture GPUs, which would mean Radeon RX 5000 series, RX 6000 series, RX 7000 series, and the current RX 9000 series; starting with 26.6.1 WHQL drivers, and the latest XBOX PC app from the Microsoft Store. "Forza Horizon 6" is the first game to support pre-compiled shader delivery.

Artifacts in "Enshrouded" with RX 6000 series GPUs have been fixed, too. Lastly, a bug that caused graphics card zero RPM mode to re-enable itself after a monitor is turned off or the system goes to soft-sleep on RX 9000 series GPUs, has been fixed.

Latest NVIDIA 610.47 WHQL Packs DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Profile Settings

Amid news of NVIDIA retiring the legacy Win32 Control Panel application for its graphics driver with its latest GeForce 610.47 WHQL Game Ready driver, an important new development flew under the radar. The driver apparently introduces profile settings related to DLSS Neural Rendering that's part of the next-generation DLSS 5. Warkratos, over at Guru3D Forums discovered three new DLSS NR (Neural Rendering) and DLSS NR SL (Neural Rendering Streamlined) settings in Profile Inspector—"Enable DLSS NR Override," "Enable DLSS NR SL Override," and "Override DLSS NR Presets."

NVIDIA is preparing to launch DLSS 5 and Neural Rendering in Fall 2026, with some of the first titles implementing it being AION 2, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Black State, CINDER CITY, Delta Force, Hogwarts Legacy, Justice, NARAKA BLADEPOINT, NTE Neverness to Everness, Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil Requiem, Sea of Remnants, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered and Where Winds Meet. The Neural Rendering feature is allegedly exclusive to GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs, which feature hardware for Neural Rendering.

NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers 610.47 WHQL Drops Control Panel Support

NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Graphics Drivers 610.47 WHQL today, introducing significant changes for consumer PC users. With this driver update, NVIDIA is retiring its Control Panel for GeForce Game Ready and Studio Drivers after 20 years of service. Starting with this version, users will find the Control Panel completely removed from their system after a clean installation. Those updating from older drivers to the newest version will need to remove the Control Panel manually. Interestingly, NVIDIA notes that despite officially dropping support with this release, the Control Panel will still be available for download through the Microsoft Store for anyone who needs it to adjust a few settings. From NVIDIA's side, there will no longer be any feature updates, bug fixes, or maintenance for this software. However, enterprise users will retain access to the Control Panel for a few more update cycles, as RTX PRO GPU users on their driver branch will continue to receive support.

The company is migrating all Control Panel functionality to the NVIDIA App, meaning that even professional users of RTX PRO GPUs will eventually transition to the NVIDIA App once enterprise features are enabled. In other related updates, the GeForce Graphics Drivers 610.47 WHQL also includes an updated CUDA version, now running v13.3, and game-ready support for "007 First Light," "LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight," "EA SPORTS F1 25: 2026 Season Pack," and "World of Tanks: HEAT." This driver release also addresses some general bug fixes, such as improving multi-monitor gaming stability when using V-SYNC, although issues with power management for mobile GPUs on Windows remain.

AMD Radeon GPU Driver Update Breaks Zero RPM Mode for Several Users

AMD's second-latest GPU driver update, version 26.5.1 WHQL, is causing issues with the Zero RPM mode on many graphics cards. Zero RPM is a feature found in most modern dedicated graphics cards, allowing the GPU to be passively cooled by its heatsink when idling. This means that when the graphics load is low, temperatures remain low, eliminating the need to spin the fans. This helps preserve fan longevity and reduces system noise. However, when temperatures rise above a certain threshold, Zero RPM is disabled, and the GPU's fans begin to spin to maintain stability. Interestingly, several users are reporting that updating to the Adrenalin 26.5.1 drivers is causing the Zero RPM mode to malfunction in a specific way.

When users upgrade from Adrenalin 26.3.1 to the 26.5.1 WHQL drivers, Reddit users report that Zero RPM doesn't function as expected. Once the monitor goes to sleep, Zero RPM is activated as it should be. However, when the monitor is turned back on, Zero RPM remains active and does not deactivate, leading to a situation where GPU temperatures can rise while the GPU is stuck in Zero RPM mode. There are two solutions to this issue: one is immediate, and the other requires a fresh driver installation. Users can either reboot the system to restore normal operation or use the AMD driver removal tool or Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove all older GPU fan profiles and settings. This means that old fan profiles from the previous driver version must be reset with each new driver installation.
