AMD is rolling out a brand-new graphics driver for Radeon graphics users. The AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.11.1 driver is touting support for the company"s new AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU, as well as a trio of high-profile games.
The new Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a budget gaming CPU that was released on November 12. The 6-core/12-thread CPU has a base clock of 4.0 GHz and a boost clock of 4.5 GHz. Plus, it comes with integrated RDNA 2 graphics, which the current driver will be useful for. The CPU comes in at $269.
The extraction shooter that has seen record-breaking player numbers in recent weeks, ARC Raiders, is now fully supported by AMD thanks to this driver. At the same time, the November 14 release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and the city builder Ubisoft released today, Anno 117, both have support with this driver too. AMD hasn"t provided any performance numbers regarding what sort of change players will see, however.
A couple of issues are fixed in the 25.11.1 driver too:
- Intermittent application crash may be observed while playing games with Easy Anti-Cheat enabled when using the Radeon™ Overlay.
- CPU metrics/tuning may not appear in the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ Application after updating the graphics driver using the AMD Software Install Manager.
Meanwhile, here are the issues currently being worked on:
- Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while loading a saved game in Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing enabled. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible.
- Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
- Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Roblox Player (Car Zone Racing & Drifting) when task switching between media on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products.
- Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD Graphics Products.
- Radeon Anti-Lag 2 option may not be available while playing Counter-Strike 2 (DX11) with Radeon Anti-Lag 2 enabled on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 9070 XT. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to use the Vulkan API as a temporary workaround.
- Intermittent system crashes may be observed while using some high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 displays during display standby. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to use a DisplayPort connection as a temporary workaround.
The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.11.1 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as its official changelog page.
