Today, AMD released a new version of its graphics driver and Radeon Software with support for Windows 11. The latest update, version 21.9.1, also adds support for a new auto overclocking feature on the latest AMD hardware.

Support for Windows 11 means you can access all of the features included in AMD's Radeon Software if you're running a preview build. It's also important as we approach the official release of Windows 11 on October 5th. Features like Radeon Boost, Radeon Anti-Lag, and Radeon Image Sharpening are all supported now, along with all the other tools the company offers. If anything wasn't working correctly for you before, this update may help.

The other big addition, Auto Overclock, is also noteworthy. While overclocking hardware is common in the enthusiast community, not everything is willing to dive into the steps required to enable it, especially when it can be risky to do so. With Auto Overblock, AMD will automatically boost both the GPU and CPU as appropriate, giving you some extra performance for gaming and other tasks. However, you do need to have both an AMD CPU and GPU for this to work.

If you're more into manual tuning, the latest release also includes a new section for CPU tuning, so you can overclock just the CPU and not the GPU.

Other highlights in this release include initial support for Deathloop, the Arkane-developed title launching this week, as well as the Call of Duty Vanguard open beta. It also enables support for AMD Smart Access Memory if you have Radeon RX 5000-series GPUs. This was previously only available for the latest Radeon RX 6000 series.
