AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 Driver Released for Doom: The Dark Ages

2 Comments

AMD has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver adds official support for Doom: The Dark Ages and F1 25.

Since I have a review code of Doom: The Dark Ages, I can tell you that this driver is a must. Without it, the game was constantly crashing on pretty much all of our AMD GPUs. Those crashes were occurring immediately. With this driver, the game was stable. So, if you are planning to play this new Doom game, you will need this driver.

The AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver also extends the FSR 4.0 support. With this driver, you can use FSR 4.0 in Ghost of Tsushima, Frostpunk 2, Everspace 2, Fort Solis, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and The Finals.

Moreover, this new driver expands HYPR-RX support for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marvel Rivals, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, Kingdom Come Deliverance II and Path of Exile 2.

It’s also worth noting that the AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver will fix some crashes that could occur in Metro: Exodus and Civilization VII. Plus, it fixes some crashes when using SteamVR on some AMD GPUs.

Those interested can download this new driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog. So, check it out.
