The much-acclaimed Elden Ring is launching today and as with every big release, new drivers are offered for day-0 support.
AMD has just released its Adrenalin 22.2.3 optional driver update, bringing with it support for Elden Ring, up to six per cent performance optimisations for Shadow Warrior 3 and up to 15 per cent for GRID Legends.
Sadly, this time no bug fixes are listed, and the known issues are still the same as the last update (Adrenalin 22.2.2). Not to worry, as these kinds of small updates are mainly for game compatibility and less about bug fixes.
So, if you are not interested in playing Elden Ring, you may skip this one, although in general, it’s good to keep your drivers up to date.
Drivers can be downloaded from AMD’s website or directly from the driver’s control panel.
