AMD’s new Software Preview Driver for May 2022, has brought about some astonishing performance gains for several DX11 titles, with some titles gaining a 30% boost in minimum fps. However, such gains may not be very common, based on the results of a 50-game benchmark suite tested by Techspot. AMD’s miracle-working driver helped in a few cases, but the ‘magic’ was clearly lacking elsewhere.
AMD’s claim of 10% higher graphics performance in DX11 titles only applies to a few select games, less than 10 to be more precise. Techspot’s 50-game average revealed that the preview driver provided only minor performance benefits over the current Adrenalin 22.5.1 driver in general.
