AMD Releases New Radeon Driver: Adrenalin Edition 25.9.1
AMD has just released the Adrenalin Edition 25.9.1 driver, a significant update for users of its Radeon graphics cards. This WHQL-certified driver not only enhances compatibility with a variety of new games but also introduces important improvements for owners of RX 9000 series cards.
New Game Support
This update brings official support for the much-anticipated titles Borderlands 4 and Hell Is Us. Gamers eager to experience these new releases should promptly update their drivers to ensure optimal performance and graphical fidelity.
Enhancements to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4)
In a stride towards improved gaming performance, AMD has upgraded its AI-based upscaling technology, FSR 4, specifically for the RX 9000 series.
