The Red team has released its new AMD Radeon Adrenalin 20.1.4 Driver which is optimized for both Warcraft III Reforged and Journey to the Savage Planet.
According to AMD’s release notes, this new driver can boost performance by up to 11% while playing Warcraft III Reforged on High settings on a Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU. Other graphic cards aren’t mentioned in the release notes.
Aside from offering improved performance in Blizzard’s reimagined Warcraft III title, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.1.4 has also been optimized for today’s Journey to the Savage Planet from developer Typhoon Studios.
In addition, the driver should fix an issue in Red Dead Redemption 2 that caused square or blocky textures on some terrain during gameplay when using the Vulkan API. Other fixed issues include system hangs in GTA V and crashed in some Vulkan API games when performing a task switch while Radeon Image Sharpening is enabled.
We’ve included the full release notes down below:
