AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 22.6.1 drivers are here
AMD's new Radeon Software Adrenalin 22.6.1 drivers are here: support for F1 2022, and some issues fixed with the Radeon RX 6900 XT.
AMD has just launched another Radeon Adrenalin Edition driver set, after the launch of the latest AMD Adrenalin Edition driver just last week. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 includes some F1 2022 performance optimizations.
The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 also includes some performance and stuttering fixes to both Fortnite, and my personal favorite: Overwatch. Using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 and AMD's flagship Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card, you're going to get up to 5% more performance in F1 2022 at 4K on Ultra High settings versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2.
There's up to a 4% increase in performance in F1 2022 at 4K on Ultra High settings using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6800 XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2. Finally, there's up to 6% more performance in F1 2022 at 4K and Ultra High settings using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6750 XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2.
