Info AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 [21.09.12.01] - 23/06/22 - GCN Legacy WHQL (7000-300 series)

[DeathReborn]

There's been a new release for HD 7000 through R# 300 series GCN cards, might have slipped under the radar for most.

There are no release notes for this release. Installed with no issues on a HD7870 & R9 290.

Nice, pity there are no notes. I went to the AMD site, and it looks like there is also Fiji support, which is good.

There are now release notes but for some reason I cannot edit the op so here they are.

I did a quick run with this driver on my granny 7950 with Far Cry 6 and it runs better than I could hope.

Here's the video if anyone's interested (not clickbaiting-non monetized, just for fun channel).

The important thing to note, is that it was running at 15fps previously at the same settings, so that's a big win for the 7950. Keeping in mind of course, that the 7950, takes a 1/3 performance hit in anything DX12 and also that it existed two years in the life of PS3. The 2500k being even older did OK, but at low settings, the cpu load is less.

If you excuse the O/T, I do have another test of the 2500k with the 3060ti and settings at Ultra and it did quite well for its age (the following recording is done with shadowplay and I have seen that these recordings have some problems-stuttering with msi afterburner).
