AMD Adrenalin 24.6.1 Driver For Radeon GPUs Now Available: New Game Support, Anti-Lag 2 For CS2, Expanded HYPR-Tune Profiles, AI Improvements & More 1

AMD has just released its new Adrenalin 24.6.1 driver for Radeon GPUs, adding support for new games and several new features.

The newest Adrenalin Software update is here and it's a big one. AMD's 24.6.1 release not only adds support for two brand new games, The First Descendant (read our impressions here) and Once Human (our Q&A with the studio behind the new title), but it comes with tons of enhancements such as support for new HYPR-TUNE profiles for games like Overwatch 2, F1 24, Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth and Outpost: Infinity Siege. These new profiles enable HYPR-RX for up to 149% boost in FPS in titles such as Baldur's Gate 3, F1 23, Resident Evil 4, and more.

Besides these, it looks like AMD's upgraded Anti-Lag 2 support is back and is out of its technical preview. The feature is now available for full use within Counter-Strike 2, enabling a 40% reduction in latency using discrete GPUs such as the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 4K resolution or up to 27% lower latencies with integrated GPUs such as the Radeon 780M featured on the Ryzen 7 8700G APUs.

AMD also provides updates on the AI side of things which were recently disclosed as part of its ROCm 6.1.3 launch, further harnessing the power of consumer-centric RDNA 3 GPUs and also supporting the WSL 2 subsystem. Lastly, there are a range of fixes and improvements within existing games and applications that make this driver a must-have for Radeon gamers!

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas may fail to launch.

Improvement to intermittent driver timeout or application crash experienced while playing HELLDIVERS 2 on AMD Radeon RX 7900 series GPUs.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Performance Metrics may intermittently fail to update while playing HELLDIVERS 2.

Intermittent system freeze or low FPS on hybrid graphics notebooks pairing certain FreeSync enabled displays.

AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2

Anti-Lag 2 will be enabled by default in the Counter-Strike 2 “ADVANCED VIDEO” settings menu.

Anti-Lag 2 unlocks improved responsiveness by adding in-game pacing of the CPU with the GPU, particularly in GPU-intensive scenarios.
