AMD's latest GPU drivers are now available with RX 5600 XT support and several bug fixes

It's been a long time since AMD and Nvidia released new graphics cards without updating their GPU drivers. Today is certainly not one of those times, as the Radeon RX 5600 XT joins AMD's Navi cards with the release of new Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.1.3 drivers.

This essentially means that we should see the best performance on that particular card with this particular driver as opposed to sticking with the old driver. No further game-related optimizations are mentioned. This driver is a relatively minor driver update in the grand scheme of things, although it does come with a number of bug fixes.

AMD has been fixing issues at a furious pace since releasing the Adrenalin 2020 Edition driver platform overhaul earlier in the year. Given the number of improvements and new features, this is to some extent to be expected. Ideally, bug fixes should taper off over time.

That said, there are several known issues that AMD is working to resolve. They include:

You can update to the latest Adrenalin driver release using the Radeon Software Utility, or you can follow this link to manually obtain the latest release. Also, see our guide on how to update your drivers for best practice tips.
