The new AMD drivers are ready for Diablo 2 Resurrected
AMD claims that Diablo II: Resurrected received a 13% performance increase at 4K resolution at Very High settings using a Radeon RX 6700 XT video card compared to the previous 21.9.1. however, the company did not specify whether the same improvement was found on other Radeon GPUs as well, but we assume that the result of the optimizations will also be visible on other models, as they normally apply to entire architectures.
AMD's new drivers support Windows 11 Insider builds, as full drivers won't arrive until official launch. The latest driver had several known issues, but surely the company will be working hard to offer a suitable driver when the next iteration of Microsoft's popular operating system is launched.
In this release, AMD has fixed the following four bugs:
In Radeon Software, the CPU Additional Metrics section within the Performance tab could be missing for some users. Some users might receive a compatibility error message when trying to load a previously saved optimization profile. When playing Hitman 3 on some AMD Graphics products, such as the Radeon RX 6800 XT, users might encounter an issue where water along the banks was running out. The Auto Overclock for CPU feature in Radeon software may have been absent for some users who own an AMD Ryzen 5000 series processor and AMD Radeon 6000 series graphics card. Here is a list of known issues instead:
Open Broadcaster Software may continue to run in the background after a user ends a recording session and closes the application. Driver timeouts may occur when playing a game and streaming video at the same time on some AMD Graphics products, such as the Radeon RX 500 series. AMD Radeon software may freeze or become unresponsive when playing some DirectX games 11, like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, with multiple displays linked in extended mode. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn for an extended period can lead to a driver timeout or game crash on some AMD Graphics products, such as the Radeon RX 6700 XT. Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to appear when enabled on some games and configurations. Any users experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync should disable it as a workaround. Radeon's performance metrics and logging capabilities can intermittently report extremely high and erroneous memory clock values.
