AMD is quick off the mark by releasing Adrenalin 22.5.2 drivers supporting upcoming Sniper Elite 5 and Hitman 3 ray tracing and FSR.
Sniper Elite 5 will be available May 26 on multiple platforms, including Microsoft Windows, and while no reviews are out at the time of writing, predecessor Sniper Elite 4 scored well when released in 2017.
In an equally interesting move, Hitman 3 is getting a long-awaited ray tracing, DLSS and FSR patch update (3.110), which is just as well as the game can be a performance hog when set to maximum quality.
Two big announcements are enough to warrant a monthly driver update, but ongoing Smart Access Memory optimisations unlock more performance in Death Stranding and Watch Dogs: Legion.
The Windows 10/11 driver can be downloaded from this page.
