AMD Software 22.8.1 has just launched

AMD has just released AMD Software 22.8.1, optimising the company's Radeon graphics cards to play Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Thymesia. Additionally, these driver have also delivered improvements to AMD's Enhanced-Sync technology and have added support for Radeon Boost to Halo Infinite.

For players of Spider-Man Remastered, this new driver is a must-download for owners of AMD graphics cards. These drivers will ensure that AMD GPU users get the best possible experience when playing Spider-Man. Sadly, AMD has not noted any performance gains with these new graphics drivers, though we have confirmed that recent patches for Spider-Man's PC version have dramatically changed the game's performance profile, likely invalidating AMD's pre-launch performance data. This may be why AMD has not included specific performance details for AMD Software 22.8.1.

Full release notes for AMD's 22.8.1 drivers can be seen below.
