AMD Release Radeon Adrenalin 19.1.1
AMD might currently be tearing things up at CES 2019, but there is, of course, still the day-to-day business of making sure that their graphics cards are up to date. With this in mind, it’s certainly not unusual to see a driver update every other week. With the release of the latest drivers though, AMD Radeon Adrenalin 19.1.1 looks to provide some additional performance boosts to a number of their highly popular graphics cards.
Patch Notes!
The patch notes including a general performance boost specifically for the 580 and Vega 64 graphics cards. As you might imagine though, a number of other fixes and improvements have also been brought. I could find a nice narrative style for the notes, but rather than boring you I’ll copy them below. Aren’t I nice?
