As an fiy, use the driver provided in the link above if you have anything but a RDNA3 graphic card. I have a 6900XT and the driver on AMD site is the usual 903 MB and has RDN3 in the file name. I tried that one initially and it kept giving me an error message at the beginning. The one downloaded from the link above has "combined" at the end of the file name and is 1.56 GB. That one worked for my 6900XT.
I'm on latest Win11 25H2 (26200.7019)

I wonder if these will allow me to up the graphics settings in BF6 without it CTD with no message ?

Nope. Still busted.

This driver fixes the performance issues with Titan's Quest 2. Could barely maintain 55-60 fps with the previous driver.

Started folding last night and noticed this.
3:37:35:I1:WU22: -gpu-vendor amd -opencl-platform 0 -opencl-device 0 -hip-platform 0
13:37:35:I1:WU22: -hip-device 0 -gpu 0
F@H also released a new client yesterday 8.5.3 The TPF of the core 27 wu's seem fast one was as low as 30 seconds most seem to be around a minute.
From the numbers I'm guessing HIP has been enabled and working as intended.

I guess I understand now why the drivers were different. I can't say I'm happy at this development :mad:. At least RDNA2 cards should still have better support than what seems to be happening.
 
Not sure it means that much its about new feature support like AI but any bugs would still be addressed for older RDNA cards which means anything game crash or corruption related. API's will probably upgrade soon for all the AI hype and older cards will be left behind for some features but thats up to the game devs to see if they support only the newest API's going forward which is unlikely as even very old cards like the RX480 can still run the latest games. I think the big question is FSR4 /redstone support for RDNA2 but if not theres always optiscaler.

AMD Clarifies "Maintenance Mode" for Radeon RX 5000/6000 Series, First-Day Game Support Remains

AMD surprised its customers yesterday by announcing that its Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series GPUs will be partially retired from the regular monthly game optimization cycle. These RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 GPUs will still receive essential patches for security vulnerabilities and critical issues...

Neither; the HUB video was just clickbait material.
 
Hat's off to AMD:D
Over the past couple days I've had a chance to fold on Win 11 pro 25H2 and Linux. Seems to be parity between the Win driver and Rocm 7,1
Number of work units processed per day is up consistently hitting 20 now. Since my old hardware didn't get faster it speaks to how efficient the new Hip code translates those cuda wu's.

Continued Support for Every Radeon Gamer



We’ve heard your feedback and want to clear up the confusion around the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver release.

This update introduces two optimized driver paths: one for RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 (Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series), and one for RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 (Radeon RX 7000 and RX 9000 series).

Here’s What this Means for You:

This is not the end of support for RDNA 1 and RDNA 2. Your Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series GPUs will continue to receive:

  • Game support for new releases
  • Stability and game optimizations
  • Security and bug fixes
The difference is that these products now benefit from a dedicated, stable driver branch, one built on years of tuning and optimization. This approach helps deliver a smoother, more consistent experience for your games while insulating previous generation GPUs from rapid changes designed for newer architectures.

Why We’re Doing This:

Our goal is simple: to give every Radeon gamer the best experience possible. By separating the code paths, our engineers can move faster with new features for RDNA 3 and RDNA 4, while keeping RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 stable and optimized for current and future games.

Our Commitment:

We’ve supported Radeon gamers for generations and that commitment isn’t changing. Whether you’re gaming on an RX 5000, RX 6000, or the latest RX 9000, you’ll continue to get the reliability, performance, and care you expect from AMD. Because we’re all part of the same gaming community and every Radeon gamer matters.

Man did they ever kick a hornets nets on that one, but at least they have cleared the air.
