AMD has just launched another Radeon Adrenalin Edition driver set, after the launch of the latest AMD Adrenalin Edition driver just last week. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 includes some F1 2022 performance optimizations.
The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 also includes some performance and stuttering fixes to both Fortnite, and my personal favorite: Overwatch. Using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 and AMD's flagship Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card, you're going to get up to 5% more performance in F1 2022 at 4K on Ultra High settings versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2.
There's up to a 4% increase in performance in F1 2022 at 4K on Ultra High settings using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6800 XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2. Finally, there's up to 6% more performance in F1 2022 at 4K and Ultra High settings using the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.6.1 on the Radeon RX 6750 XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.5.2.
