AMD Releases AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 23.8.1 Driver for Radeon GPUs and APUs
On August 21, 2023, AMD released the latest driver software, AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 23.8.1 (Adrenalin 23.8.1), for Radeon GPUs and APUs. This version has passed the WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certification and is specifically designed to support the new FPS game, “Immortals of Aveum.”
While this driver does not claim to improve performance, it is understood to be a driver that AMD has tested and confirmed to be compatible with the game. Additionally, it addresses a previously fixed issue that reoccurred in the previous version, Adrenalin 23.7.2.
