AMD has announced that the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.30.13.01 driver for Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems is now available for download.
This new driver from AMD not only adds game support for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the new game from Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment that comes out this Thursday, but also a new Software UI Redesign for what AMD has described as a more “vibrant” experience, including easier access to HYPR-RX profiles:
…we’ve put HYPR-RX right into the Home Tab, so it’s even easier to find. All you need to do is click “Enable” and for HYPR-Tuned games you’re ready to go; for games that aren’t HYPR-Tuned, after you click “Enable”, you can simply open your game and either choose the FSR preset desired or lower your in-game resolution for RSR to automatically kick in. You’ll also notice that there are profiles to cycle through on the top left in the Global Experience block – HYPR-RX, Quality Mode, and our newest profile: HYPR-RX Eco.
Additionally, users will find AMD HYPR-RX Eco, a new feature that is supposed to offer power savings when enabled. (This feature appears to be exclusive to the Radeon RX 7000 Series and other RDNA 3 products for now.):
HYPR-RX Eco has been designed specifically for gamers who want to reduce power consumption and/or extend their play time on battery. Like HYPR-RX, this HYPR-RX Eco profile will enable a various suite of features within AMD Software and in this case, deliver power savings across your system when you’re gaming, in some instances up to 68% in power consumption reduction. Currently, AMD HYPR-RX Eco product support is limited to RDNA3 architecture-based products, including the Radeon RX 7000 Series GPU or newer, and will run best for applications in Exclusive Fullscreen mode.
It also looks like HAGS (Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling) is back, albeit for select Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs only.
