AMD has just released another Radeon Adrenalin Edition driver set after releasing the latest AMD Adrenalin Edition driver just last week. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 includes some performance optimizations for F1 2022.
The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 also includes some performance and stutter fixes for Fortnite and my personal favourite: Overwatch. With the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 and AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card, you get up to 5% more performance at 4K and Ultra High settings in F1 2022 compared to the previous software driver version 22.5. 2.
With the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6800 XT, there is a performance increase of up to 4% in F1 2022 at 4K with Ultra High settings compared to the previous software driver version 22.5.2. Finally, in F1 2022 there is up to 6% more performance at 4K and Ultra High settings with the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6750 XT compared to the previous software driver version 22.5.2.
