Qualcomm has a new GPU driver with improvements for 12 games.
Qualcomm has released a new Adreno GPU driver for devices powered by Snapdragon X Series processors. The update, version 31.0.121.1, brings multiple game and app fixes, system-level improvements, and support for new OpenCL extensions on Windows.
The driver includes fixes for display output in High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) mode and Digital Flat Panel (DFP) ports, along with a fallback mechanism for reading display information. It also adds support for the OpenCL cl_khr_external_semaphore_dx_fence extension.
Among the most important changes are improved stability and graphics quality in popular games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Final Fantasy XV, as well as better performance in Fortnite and Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition. Professional users can also expect smoother performance in AutoCAD and Adobe Camera Raw (v16.5).

The installer package has 134 MB. Please note this driver is ‘technically’ for developers. Gamers can’t just download them and use, they need to register first. Qualcomm relies on OEMs to supply latest drivers, but it rarely works the intended way. Official ‘generic’ Qualcomm driver updates are quite slow, underwhelming in updates, and still locked behind login. This is not the way, Qualcomm.
