AMD Radeon Adrenalin 21.6.2 Arrive to Support RayTracing for DOOM Eternal (Download)

AMD announced the launch of its new graphics drivers Radeon Adrenaline 21.6.2, and among the novelties is RayTracing implementation in DOOM Eternal for AMD Radeon graphics. This will require running the game under the Vulkan API (Vulkan RT), and of course, although it is not mentioned, we assume that for optimal operation an AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series will be needed. Additionally, some extensions were added to the Vulkan API.

Otherwise, few improvements, since it is solved that the MechWarrior 5 : Mercenaries artifacts issues when gaming with DirectX 11 and a Radeon RX 6000 Series GPU; error 184 after the AMD Auto-Detect or Install Updates programs are run under the Windows 7 operating system; and that the Adobe Substance 3D Painter with a Radeon RX 6900.

You can download the AMD Radeon Adrenalin 21.6.2 from the following link, while below we leave you the original list of known issues yet to be resolved.

• Some users may experience elevated memory usage by AMD User Experience Program. A temporary workaround is to opt-out of the AMD User Experience Program. Learn more from AMD here on how to opt out of the program.
• Resident Evil Village may experience an intermittent application hang or TDR on AMD Radeon VII graphics products in the first mission of the game.
• Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
• Connecting two displays with large differences in resolution/refresh rates may cause flickering on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.
• An Oculus service error may be received on Radeon RX 5000 & 6000 series graphics products which prevents the Oculus Link setup software from running.
• Radeon performance metrics and logging features may intermittently report extremely high and incorrect memory clock values.
• If Ryzen Master is not detected in Adrenalin software after installation, a system restart may be required.
• If Blue or Black screen is observed in mobile systems, temporarily disable Enhanced sign-in
• A driver mismatch error may appear when two versions of Radeon software (Windows Store & AMD Support versions) are installed on your system. As a temporary workaround, launch the Windows Store version of Radeon software.
• AMD is investigating an issue that may cause a small impact to battery life on AMD Ryzen 5000 notebooks.
• A Blue or Black screen may be observed after updating to the latest Radeon Software. A workaround is to disable core isolation.
• AMD is investigating a D3 code that may be seen in some motherboard after updating to the latest Radeon Software.
• Lower than expected performance may be observed on select AMD Athlon mobile systems.
