The new driver update adds new AI optimizations for developers, which improve training time for AI networks and improve deployment times on Windows 11 systems with RTX GPUs. The new update also includes two bug fixes, including stability improvements in wonderland 4and a solution of NVIDIA Ansel & Freestyle functionality for bus simulator 21.
AMD’s driver update, Adrenalin Edition 23.5.1, is Team Red’s counterpart and offers support for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum with up to 16% performance boost on RX 7900 series GPUs and up to 12% performance boost on RX 6000 series GPUs. AMD also listed several bug fixes in this new patch, including a driver timeout and application crash fix for DaVinci Resolve Studio, a screen corruption fix when “alt tabbing” on some AMD GPUs like the RX 6700 XT, a memory usage fix on the last of us part 1 during shader compilation and a fix for intermittent crashes when playing games Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on some AMD GPUs like the RX 580.
