AMD users who haven’t been keeping up with red team’s drivers will definitely want to grab today’s Adrenalin Edition 22.3.1 release, as the latest package includes a handful of new features that promise to enhance gaming on Radeon graphics cards with improved performance and more. The most exciting one is probably Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), a new upscaling technology that will live alongside FidelityFX Super Resolution but include the benefit of working with practically all games, having been baked into the Adrenalin driver software. (RSR is exclusive to Radeon RX 5000 Series discrete desktop graphics cards and newer.) AMD’s Adrenalin Edition 22.3.1 also includes updates to AMD Link and Radeon Image Sharpening while offering improvements such as faster downloads and improved toast notifications.

Support For
- Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) Technology – is an in-driver spatial upscaling feature that is built on the same algorithm as AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution technology. It delivers near-native resolution and increased performance across thousands of games that run in exclusive full screen mode on AMD RDNA-based and newer discrete graphics.
