AMD has released its first Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition drivers for this month, version 18.3.1 Beta. The drivers come with optimization for “Final Fantasy XV,” and “Warhammer: Vermintide II.” It also includes some fine-tuning for Dota 2 that delivers up to 6 percent higher frame-rates than 17.12.1 drivers, at 4K Ultra HD, when tested with an RX 580 graphics card. The drivers also fix application crashes with “Sea of Thieves,” multi-GPU flickering seen in “Middle-earth: Shadow of War,” and some color-corruption noticed with “World of Tanks” in certain multi-GPU configurations.

The new Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.3.1 Beta drivers are available online at the AMD driver download page.

AMD had released the latest version of Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition. Version 18.2.3, the third release for this month, comes with optimization for “Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age,” “Sea of Thieves,” and “Brass Tactics.” With “Sea of Thieves,” the drivers enable up to 29% higher frame-rates at 4K UHD, when measured with Radeon RX Vega 64, and up to 39% higher frame-rates at 1080p, when measured with an RX 580. With FFXII, it enables up to 13% higher frame-rates at 1440p measured with an RX Vega 64, and up to 20% higher frame-rates at 1080p, with an RX 580.

A host of FreeSync-related bugs are addressed with this release. They correct a bug experienced with FreeSync kicking in during online video-playback in Google Chrome, causing flickering; rapid frame-rate changes between minimum and maximum FPS ranges when gaming in certain system configurations; which causes stuttering; and a flickering observed on FreeSync-capable displays when performance metrics overlay is enabled with Enhanced Sync. A Radeon Overlay flickering noticed on Vulkan API games was fixed. A display corruption issue with “Fortnite” was fixed.

The new Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.2.3 Beta drivers are available online at the AMD driver download page.
