AMD Radeon 19.7.2 driver brings in support for Gears 5 Tech Test

It"s time for another driver update from the red team, as AMD pushed out its Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.7.2 graphics driver today. Only a single new release is getting support with this driver, that being The Coalition"s upcoming Gears 5 Tech Test.

The Versus focused test will be hosted during the two upcoming weekends of July, and to gain access, fans can either pre-order Gears 5 or be subscribed to any of Microsoft"s Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Also, since AMD now bundles Xbox Game Pass for PC with most of its modern CPU and GPU products, new hardware owners should be able to jump into the test without much hassle.

As expected, there"s a host of fixed issues as well as a number of known issues to look out for, see the shared details below:
