AMD has launched a new graphics driver. The AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 update officially add s support for Doom: The Dark Ages and F1 25, according to the release notes.

Having tested Doom: The Dark Ages with a review code, I can confirm that the AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver is essential. Without it, the game was crashing instantly on nearly all of our AMD GPUs. These crashes happened right at launch. With the new driver, however, the game ran smoothly and remained stable. So if you're planning to play the latest Doom, make sure to install this driver first.

The AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver also expands support for FSR 4.0. With this update, you can now enable FSR 4.0 in titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Frostpunk 2, Everspace 2, Fort Solis, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and The Finals. Figure 1 shows AMD Adrenalin 25.5.1 Driver.

Additionally, the new driver expands HYPR-RX support to include Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marvel Rivals, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Path of Exile 2.
