AMD has released Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.12.2. The latest driver adds support for Cooler Master’s RGB LED Utility for AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards, which presumably grants users an additional means of controlling their GPU’s lighting.

The Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.12.2 driver does not address any issues, but it does warn Metro Exodus, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players of potential crashes when DirectX Raytracing is enabled.
