AMD 25.3.2 Driver Resolve Critical Issue Preventing Windows Update from Installing Outdated Driver on 9070

AMD Unveils New Beta Display Driver for Windows 11 and 10

Today, AMD has announced the release of a beta display driver for Windows 11 and Windows 10 systems, designated version 25.3.2. As this update is in beta, it has not received Microsoft’s WHQL certification. One of the key improvements in this driver addresses a significant issue associated with Windows Update, which had previously caused older drivers to overwrite newer ones.

Addressing GPU Generational Bugs

This problem affected various generations of AMD GPUs, but the company has confirmed that the bug has been resolved for its latest RX 9000 series graphics cards, indicating progress in their software development. AMD aims to extend this fix to earlier generations of their GPU lineup in future updates.

Support for New Gaming Titles

The new driver also expands support for popular game titles. Notably, it now offers compatibility with:

  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows
  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Additionally, the driver resolves various bugs enhancing overall gaming performance. Key fixes include:

  • Issues with MSAA on Counter-Strike 2
  • Crashes when using Alt-Tab during gameplay
  • Multi-monitor display problems, among others

Highlights

  • Fixed Issues and Improvements
    • Incorrect gamma display while using MSAA x8 on Radeon™ RX 9070 series graphics products.
    • Intermittent application crashes in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with “Very Ultra”quality and enabled Path Tracing. A temporary solution is to revert to default Ray Tracing settings.
    • Detection errors through third-party tools reporting an incorrect ROP count.
    • Subpar performance issues while playing Assetto Corsa Competizione on Radeon™ RX 9000 series cards.
    • Crashes when Alt-Tabbing during play on select Radeon™ graphics products.

Known Issues

  • Users may experience system crashes due to a memory leak while utilizing SteamVR on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, including the RX 9000 series. Turning off Motion Smoothing in settings is recommended as a temporary workaround.

  • Performance logging notifications may appear in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ when the Microsoft® Windows® display language is set to anything other than English.
  • Intermittent crashes of AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ may occur while playing titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart with AMD Image Inspector enabled. Users should disable the inspector as a workaround.
  • Initial performance issues may arise when using YouTube on Microsoft Edge right after installing the driver. A simple restart of Edge often resolves this.
  • The AMD Bug Report Tool may appear occasionally after using the AMD Cleanup Utility for Windows® during new driver installations on AMD Ryzen™ 7000 series processors accompanied by AMD graphics products.
  • Some laptops may face intermittent failures with integrated cameras post-driver upgrades. Users can rectify this by utilizing the AMD Cleanup Utility and reverting to the previously recommended driver, found here.
