AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.1.1 Graphics Drivers Released

2021/01/22 JeGX

AMD has published its first 2021 graphics driver for all Radeon graphics cards for Windows 10 and Windows 7/8. Adrenalin 21.1.1 brings the following changes and fixes:

Support For
– Hitman 3: up to 10% increase in performance in Hitman 3, @4K Ultra settings, with Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.1.1 on the 16GB Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card versus the previous driver edition 20.12.1.RS-349
– Quake II RTX

Fixed Issues
– The recording and streaming overlay indicator may sometimes reset itself to the default position.
– Performance Metrics Overlay size may intermittently reset or may not match values that are set in Radeon Software after performing a task switch.
– The Radeon Software installer screen can sometimes display the incorrect release date of the Radeon Software version you are installing.
– Performance Metrics Overlay may flicker during video playback on displays with HDR enabled.
– Reflections in Grand Theft Auto V may fail to appear when ‘Reflection MSAA’ is enabled in the game settings.
– PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds session timer may continue in Radeon Software even after the game has been exited.
– DOOM Eternal may experience an application crash while gaming and having Steam™ overlay enabled.
– Recorded content from Radeon Software may appear cropped or recorded at an incorrect resolution on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.
– The Samsung Odyssey G9 C49G95T may experience display or corruption issues when set to 5120×1440@240hz.
– Anisotropic Filtering in Radeon Software graphics settings is not taking effect in DirectX®9 applications on RDNA graphics products.
– Some displays such as the Sceptre C series or Samsung Odyssey G9 series may experience an intermittent black screen on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.
– Oculus Link users may experience intermittent crashes on Polaris and Vega series graphics products.
