AMD released a new version of its Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition graphics driver, namely version 20.1.4 Optional (19.50.17.01), which includes support for Journey to the Savage Planet title and resolves square or blocky textures seen in Red Dead Redemption 2 when using Vulkan API.

If applied, the current update promises to deliver up to 11% more performance when playing Warcraft III: Reforged with high presets on the Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU (compared to the previous Radeon Adrenalin 20.1.3 update).

Moreover, AMD manages to fix Grand Theft Auto 5’s system hangs and black screens at launch experienced when opening Radeon Overlay or performing a task switch (while in-game) and remove a bug that leads to crashes/hangs when performing a task switch while Radeon Image Sharpening is enabled (for some Vulkan API games).

In addition to that, version 20.1.4 also corrects text-overflow observed in toast messages for some languages, make suer Integer Scaling option is showing up on all Windows 7 system configurations, and implements other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to installation, remember that there are two downloadable files compatible with Microsoft’s Windows 7 and 10 64-bit platforms (one for each OS), as well as one “Auto-Detect and Install” utility that detects your GPU and OS and then guides you forward.

Last but not least, take into account that installing the packages on platforms other than the ones mentioned above (shouldn’t work and) might lead to malfunctions and other problems. Also, after proper installation, make sure to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly.

That said, download AMD Radeon Adrenalin Edition Graphics Driver 20.1.4 Optional, take into account all aspects as mentioned above, and check back with our website as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
