AMD has made available a new version of its Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition graphics driver, namely 20.11.3 Optional (20.45.01.24), which adds compatibility with several new Vulkan Ray Tracing Extensions, and provides an improved gaming experience when playing Immortals: Fenyx Rising.

Specifically speaking, users will now be able to make use of the VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate, VK_KHR_acceleration_structure, VK_KHR_ray_query, VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline, VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations, VK_KHR_pipeline_library, and VK_KHR_shader_terminate_invocation extensions.

In addition to that, the current release also fixes low performance issues for Watchdogs: Legion, Dirt 5, and Godfall titles, resolves corruptions see in Crysis Remastered and Red Dead Redemption 2, and and make sure Total War Saga: Troy, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War do not experience any intermittent crashes.

However, AMD’s update might still experience some problems when playing Metro Exodus, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as well as other issues as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

In terms of compatibility, the two available files are suitable for 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and 10 operating systems. Also, AMD has provided an “Auto-Detect and Install” utility that downloads and applies the correct package for your configuration.

Therefore, if you are considering upgrading to the current version, save the appropriate file for your computer’s operating system, run it, wait for all files required for the installation to be extracted, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade.

Once finished, make sure to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically by the wizard, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually so that any possible problems are avoided.

That said, download AMD Radeon Adrenalin Edition Graphics Driver 20.11.3 Optional, apply it on your device, and constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
