AMD Adrenalin Edition 23.3.2 drivers add support for Resident Evil 4 Remake and The Last of Us Part 1

High idle power still not fixed.

The Last of Us Part 1 - AMD Software Adrenalin 23.3.2 Drivers

AMD has released Software Adrenalin 23.3.2 WHQL drivers for Radeon graphics cards with a bunch of bug fixes, new Vulkan extensions and game support.

Version 23.3.2 sees the addition of nine Vulkan extensions alongside day-one readiness for two much-awaited games: Resident Evil 4 Remake and The Last of Us Part 1 – both requiring around Radeon RX 6650 XT’s performance for optimal experience.

As usual, a handful of issues got ironed out, notably some app crashes in Legacy of Thieves and Genshin Impact, corruptions in It Takes Two, and black screens in Parsec. The latter can be very annoying for those working or playing games remotely using Parsec – which is much better than TeamViewer, according to my limited experience, since the host machine may not be accessible at all times.

Finally, some bugs are still persistent, such as high idle power, video playback stuttering, and low virtual reality games’ performance.

Software Adrenalin 23.3.2 WHQL can be downloaded (598MB) from AMD’s website here.
