Radeon launches their AMD Software 23.7.1 Driver for Windows

AMD adds support for new Vulkan extensions and addresses high idle power issues with their latest Radeon drivers for Windows

AMD Software Adrenalin Edition version 23.7.2 has been released, adding support for a variety of new Vulkan API extensions, and a variety of driver bug fixes that have affected Davinci Resolve, VR games, and other applications. 

On Twitter, AMD has also stated that this driver features support for F1 23, though the driver’s release notes make no mention of the game. Another major change with this driver is AMD’s optimised idle power characteristics when using specific display configurations.
