Release of AMD Software Adrenalin 23.8.1 WHQL

The newest AMD Adrenalin driver, version 23.8.1 WHQL, adds support for the game Immortals of Aveum and fixes a number of issues, including high idle power when using multi-display configurations with mixed high-resolution and high refresh rate on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs when variable refresh rate is enabled, performance drops on DirectX 11 games on Radeon RX 5600 XT when AMD SmartAccess Memory is enabled, and issues in Ratchet & clank

Sadly, AMD still hasn’t addressed the Baldur’s Gate 3 DirectX 11 API compatibility problems with Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards. The factory reset is still temporarily blocked as a safety precaution due to isolated installation troubles during PC upgrades, according to AMD’s critical notes section, and AMD Cleanup Utility can be used as a temporary alternative.
