The latest major revision of AMD‘s graphics drivers has been released, offering improvements with performance and fixes for various bugs. Let’s dig into what Radeon drivers 19.7.2 have to offer.
This latest batch of driver updates continues the trend of focusing performance and asset delivery to ensure solid performance for the latest AAA games and other important releases. In this case, the Gears 5 beta is an area of focus. Other games are also getting some fixes and optimization though, like Star Wars Battlefront II, which got a fix for flickering and texture bugs.
Some bugs with various Radeon graphics utilities also got axed. For example, an issue with Radeon Wattman not properly applying adjustments with individual games has been deal with.
There are of course, as is common with driver updates, a handful of use cases that may have issues with this release. Some incompatibility with the aging Windows 7 has been cited. AMD’s other software utilities like ReLive could also run into problems. Although it’s important to note that these issues only apply in very specific cases. But those concerned may want to wait a few days for a hotfix to be pushed, if there is one. There may also be workarounds for the issues you encounter discovered.
