AMD has released a new driver, and if you’re eager to play or are already playing Manor Lords of Helldivers 2, this one is worth grabbing for a few welcome performance improvements in both titles. The latest update brings their drivers up to Adrenalin Edition 24.4.1.
HYPR-Tune support has now been expanded for both Nightingale and Skull and Bones, albeit I think the best way to improve Skull and Bones is to uninstall the game and play Sea of Thieves, but that’s just me!
There are now optimisations for 7.1.0 & 7.1.1 versions of the Topaz Gigapixel AI application, which now also features a new recovery and low-resolution upscaling AI feature.
Finally, there are some bug fixes too, such as rainbow certificating in Horizon: Forbidden West, Overwatch 2 stability, and as usual, the full change log is listed below.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
