Best Driver Version for RX 7000 Series Right Now?

Hi everyone,

 

I just got an RX 7900 XTX, and I’ve heard that certain AMD Adrenalin drivers perform better than others. Some people say newer drivers improve performance, while others report stability issues. Which driver version are you using for the best mix of performance and stability?

 

Thanks!

Congrats on the XTX card! There's really only two reasons to update drivers, either to address a specific issue or to support a new game release.

I have been running 24.12.1 for two months now and no problems to report.

As of February 2025, the latest AMD driver for the Radeon RX 7000 series is the Adrenalin Edition 24.10.1, released in December 2024. This driver introduced several enhancements, including support for new games and performance optimizations. Notably, it also integrated the second generation of AMD's Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF 2) technology, which boosts frame rates across a wide range of games by operating at the driver level.

For users seeking stability, some community members have reported that the Adrenalin Edition 24.5.1 drivers offer a more stable experience, particularly for models like the RX 7900 GRE XT/X. Additionally, AMD's Adrenalin Pro drivers are noted for providing stable performance with minimal stuttering, though they may result in slightly higher temperatures. AMD Community

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, it's recommended to download the latest drivers directly from AMD's official support page. AMD

Please note that driver performance can vary based on specific system configurations and usage scenarios. It's advisable to review the release notes and, if possible, test different driver versions to determine which works best for your particular setup.
