AMD has released its latest Radeon Software 23.1.2 drivers, which only support the RX 7000 series and not previous generation cards. According to TechpowerUp, it has now been 48 days since the red team released a driver for its previous generation cards.

The lack of updates for older AMD graphics cards, especially for the Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, is quite confusing. Numerous users who chose not to update their graphics cards last year did not receive support for newer game titles, such as the recently released Forspoken. The main highlights of the new driver version are listed below:
-
AMD Adrenalin 23.1.2 Highlight notes
Support for:
- Forspoken
- IREE compiler using MLIR interface on Vulkan.
- Additional volcano extensions. Click here for more information.
Fixed Issues
- AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition may fail to launch with the error message “Delayed Write Failed” on Microsoft Windows 11 version 22H2.
- Poor performance and load time may be observed while playing SpaceEngine.
- Missing or flickering textures may be observed while playing Emergency 4.
Known Issues
- High idle power is observed when selecting high-resolution and high refresh rate displays.
- Video stuttering or performance drop may be observed during gameplay plus playback with some extended display configuration.
- Stuttering may be observed in UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End during the opening game sequence.
- Stuttering may be observed in Forspoken when dynamic resolution is set to enabled.
- Application crashes may be observed while opening Premium Gold Packs in EA SPORTS FIFA 23.
- Stuttering may be observed while playing Sea of Thieves.
- Corruption may be observed while playing Battlefield 4 with Post Process Quality settings set to high or ultra.
- Some virtual reality games or apps may experience lower-than-expected performance.
- Maximum encode bitrate is limited to 100 Mbps for specific applications.

AMD has not only delivered on the promise of “Day-Zero” support and optimization for “Forspoken”, but also provided support for the additional IREE compiler with MLIR interface for Vulkan and the Vulkan extensions:
- VK_KHR_fragment_shader_barycentric
- VK_EXT_depth_clamp_zero_one
- VK_EXT_attachment_feedback_loop_layout
If you have an AMD Radeon RX 6900 or older graphics card, you should remember that the AMD Adrenalin drivers still do not support it. It’s unclear why the company is denying further support for in-game drivers and graphics optimization for older graphics cards, but it’s likely that the team is currently trying to optimize its new RDNA 3 architecture and fix the bugs that affect it rather than prioritize older cards.
