AMD Adrenalin 21.10.3 – Game Ready For Guardians of the Galaxy!

Calling all AMD graphics card owners! Yes, I’m afraid it’s that time again as a brand new GPU driver update has been released and is likely set to start bothering you to install it in the very near future! – Is it worth doing though? Well, with it offering a surprisingly large amount of game-ready optimisations, if you’re planning on pumping some time into Guardians of the Galaxy, Age of Empires IV, Riders Republic, or the latest Doom Eternal 6.66 patch (I see what you did there Bethesda!), then it would certainly seem to be the case!

Where Can I Get My Update?

As always, if you already have the AMD Adrenalin Edition app installed on your PC (and we certainly hope you do if you have one of their graphics cards), then a quick check of it should (all going well) prompt you to download and update to this latest driver release. However, if that doesn’t work, you can learn more (and/or manually download it) via the link here!
