AMD Software Adrenalin 22.12.2 WHQL Exclusively for RX 7900 Series Released

Controller Master


AMD released the Adrenalin 22.12.2 WHQL drivers exclusively for the recently launched Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards. These drivers do not support any other product series (which is why TechPowerUp isn’t hosting them in our Downloads section). Compared to the previous 22.11.2 WHQL drivers from mid-December (which lack RX 7900 series support), the 22.12.2 WHQL doesn’t pack any game-specific optimizations, but corrects a handful of issues.

To begin with, AMD has improved the power-consumption of the RX 7900 series cards during hardware-accelerated video playback. Display corruption observed for Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) with multi-display configurations, has been fixed. A system crash observed when changing display modes in machines with 4 display, has been fixed. An application crash or driver timeout observed with Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales after enabling ray tracing, has been fixed. Grab the driver from the link below.

Fixed Issues

  • Corruption may be encountered when using Virtual Super Resolution with multi-display configurations.
  • A system crash may be observed when changing display modes with 4 display configurations.
  • While loading Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales an app crash or driver timeout may occur after enabling ray tracing settings.
  • Improvements to power usage during hardware accelerated video playback. Further power efficiency improvements are planned for future releases.

Known Issues

  • High idle power has situationally been observed when using select high resolution and high refresh rate displays.
  • Intermittent app crashes or driver timeout may occur when using Radeon Super Resolution with some extended display configurations.
  • Video stuttering or performance drop may be observed during gameplay plus video playback with some extended display configurations.
  • Stuttering may be observed in UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End during the opening game sequence.
  • While playing Valheim an app crash or driver timeout may occur using Vulkan API. Any users who may be experiencing these issues should select DirectX API as a temporary workaround.
  • Some virtual reality games or apps may experience lower than expected performance.
