AMD has launched its latest Adrenalin Edition 25.9.1 WHQL drivers, bringing significant enhancements for Radeon GPU users. This update introduces day-one support for the highly anticipated “Borderlands 4” and the new title “Hell Is Us.” A major highlight is the expanded support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), making the upscaling technology accessible in a much broader range of games.
Key Takeaways
- Day-one support for “Borderlands 4” and “Hell Is Us.”
- Wider FSR 4 compatibility for games supporting FSR 3.1 with DirectX 12.
- Numerous bug fixes, including stability improvements and resolution for graphical corruption.
- Known issues persist in select titles, with AMD actively working on fixes.
Enhanced FSR 4 Accessibility
The Adrenalin 25.9.1 drivers significantly improve FSR 4 integration. Previously, enabling FSR 4 in games often required specific whitelisting or third-party tools. Now, AMD states that FSR 4 can be enabled in “most games that support FSR 3.1 with DirectX 12.” This broadens the reach of FSR 4 to potentially hundreds of titles, offering a performance boost to a wider audience of Radeon users, particularly those with RDNA 4 GPUs.
New Game Support and Optimizations
This driver release ensures that Radeon users can jump into “Borderlands 4” and “Hell Is Us” with optimized performance from the get-go. The inclusion of day-one support for these titles demonstrates AMD’s commitment to providing a seamless gaming experience for new releases.
Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements
AMD has addressed several persistent issues with this driver update. Users experiencing graphical corruption in “Mafia: The Old Country” on Radeon RX 6600 series cards should see this resolved. Stability issues and crashes in “WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers” when using FSR 4 on Radeon RX 9000 series cards have also been fixed. Furthermore, improvements have been made for “Monster Hunter Wilds” with ray tracing enabled on RX 7600, 7700, and 7800 series cards, addressing intermittent crashes and driver timeouts. The long-standing issue of PlayStation VR controllers not being detected in SteamVR has also been resolved.
Known Issues
Despite the improvements, some issues remain. Players may still encounter intermittent crashes in titles such as “The Last of Us Part II” on RX 7900 series, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” on RX 9000 series, and “NBA 2K25” in MyCareer mode on RX 9070 series. AMD has noted that they are actively working on resolutions for some of these, particularly for “NBA 2K25.” VR users on RX 7000 series cards might experience stuttering at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rates, with a temporary workaround suggesting a change in refresh rate. Other graphical glitches and crashes in games like “GTFO” and “Cyberpunk 2077” are also listed as known issues.
