To launch new major gaming projects, video card manufacturers are trying to prepare fresh graphics drivers as well. AMD recently unveiled Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.3.2, which brings support for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 co-op action RPG, as well as the Gathering Storm add-on to Sid Meier's Civilization VI strategy game. In addition, AMD is promising an overall performance boost of up to 4% over the latest February Radeon Software 19.2.3 graphics driver.
AMD also mentioned DirectX 12 support Windows 7 in some games. As a reminder, Microsoft recently announced, quite unexpectedly, that some games, including World of Warcraft, will benefit from the low-level and multithreaded API even on PCs running Windows 7.
Radeon Software 19.3.2 also adds support for a number of Vulkan open low-level API extensions: VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable, VK_EXT_memory_priority, VK_EXT_memory_budget, VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model, VK_EXT_debug_utils, VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve, VK_KHR_shader_float16_ int8, VK_EXT_transform_feedback.
As always, AMD engineers have made several ongoing fixes:
- Radeon ReLive for VR was not installed;
- the fan schedule did not switch to manual mode;
- Changes to Radeon WattMan settings through Radeon Overlay were not saved or took effect after closing Radeon Overlay.
Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.3.2 can be downloaded in 64-bit versions Windows 7 or Windows 10 Both from the official AMD website and from the Radeon settings menu. It's dated March 14th and is intended for Radeon HD 7000 series graphics cards and above.
