AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.4.2 adds better support for World War Z and Anno 1800

AMD Radeon GPUs

AMD has dropped the latest version of it’s generic display driver for it’s various GPU SKUs. the new 19.4.2 version of the Adrenalin software line focuses on improving performance for a handful of newer games, as is the tradition with these minor versions of GPU drivers.

In terms of new features, there’s not much to sink your teeth into. The only thing that’s really changed is the introduction of performance optimizations for two newly launched titles, Anno 1800 and World War Z. It’s been reported by various sources that DirectX12 performs a lot better than DX 11 in both titles, although the latter of these two is currently suffering from some weird stuttering issues, so keep that in mind.

There are still some minor issues, mostly flickering related, with this iteration of the drivers though. Thankfully this is related to very specific instances of software and hardware conflicts or bugs. These flicker issues and HDR problems probably won’t be fixed for a couple of version updates, if at all, which kind of sucks.

If you want to grab these new drivers, head over to the AMD site and grab them. Although it’s always recommended to grab the latest drivers from the manufacturer website if you’re using a third-party model. It’s also a great practice to wipe the old display driver using DDU and do a clean install when updating drivers.
