AMD Releases Software Adrenalin 24.4.1 WHQL GPU Drivers

Are you ready for Manor Lords? It seems many are, with the game blasting past three million wishlists on Steam already, and that number continues to rise! Now AMD has released the latest version of Adrenalin Edition graphics drivers, taking them up to version 24.4.1 WHQL, and guess what? It gets your game ready for Manor Lords!

With support for Manor Lords being a key feature here, it also adds performance improvements for HELLDIVERS 2, which I must admit I’m still thoroughly enjoying, while also adding AMD HYPR-Tune support to Nightingale and Skull and Bones (lol, nobody cares about S&B).

Furthermore, the new 24.4.1 WHQL drivers come with several fixes and performance improvements in games like Lords of the Fallen, SnowRunner and Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on AMD 6000 series cards. There’s also a bunch of issues resolved with Overwatch 2, Steam VR and Quest Link.

Overall, this is a pretty broad update and addresses quite a lot of issues for a lot of people, so I strongly suggest all AMD gamers to download this on as soon as possible.
