AMD officially released a new version of the graphics card driver tonight, version number 22.3.1, or belongs to the Adrenoin adrenaline series, but this time the change is very large.
First of all, the new driver supports AMD RSR, that is, Radeon super-resolution technology, which can be simply understood as a lite version of FSR technology.
RSR uses the same spatial scaling algorithm as the original FSR technology, but is directly integrated into the driver, does not require the game to be optimized separately, and provides image quality close to native resolution, as well as better performance, the only requirement is to run in full-screen mode.
In terms of hardware, the RX 5000 and RX 6000 series graphics cards of the RDNA architecture family are supported.
Of course, FSR technology has been upgraded to the all-new 2.0 version, which we'll leave behind later.
Another key point is faster download speeds.
AMD said that in the future, when upgrading new versions of the driver, only the necessary files will be downloaded and installed, a bit like the Windows Update patch, so it can greatly reduce the amount of download data and save time.
In other ways, RIS image sharpening technology now supports video playback, productivity software image quality enhancement, can be turned on with one click, and also improved The Tower pop-up message notification, when starting the game, if there are key functions on or off, will give a clearer screenshot display.
In terms of bug fixes, the new driver solves the problems such as the disappearance of windows 10 Aero transparency effect, the display configuration error on the performance adjustment page of graphics card drivers such as RX 6800 XT, and the long loading time when the RX 6800 and other graphics cards turn on medium and high-end light to chase "Forza Horizon 5".
AMD also took the opportunity to review the changes in the graphics card driver over the past year, such as adapting more than 40 games at the first time, and providing performance and stability optimization support on the market.
Game performance improved by an average of 15% compared to version 20.12.2 at the end of 2020, and Myst even improved by as much as 29%.
In addition, last year, amD drivers also added or upgraded 22 important functions.
