AMD has released its latest Radeon Driver which adds Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III support along with AI speedups for RDNA GPUs & APUs.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III & DirectML Receives Performance Optimizations & Improvements With Latest Radeon GPU Drivers, Also Work With RDNA APUs
The latest AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 23.11.1 drivers are now available for all RDNA GPUs & APUs which means that the older Polaris and Vega offerings are not supported however there's a separate driver release for them that doesn't have the same level of additions. The driver adds support for four games amongst which Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is definitely the highlight.
Besides the game support, AMD also adds new Radeon Boost profile support for Alan Wake 2 so those of you who are enjoying the thriller and need extra performance, well you can do so now. Lastly, the driver also brings DirectML improvements and optimizations for a range of AI apps such as Stable Diffusion, Adobe Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, and UL Procyon AI. Users running a Radeon RX 7000/6000 GPU or Radeon 700M/600M APU will be able to see benefits.
There's still no word on the relaunch of the Radeon Anti-Lag+ feature which was excluded from driver releases following its game-breaking design and several reports of player bans due to modification of the game's DLLs. Hopefully, AMD can resolve those issues soon and we get to see Anti-Lag+ in an even better shape in the future.
