AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.12.1 is out for Cyberpunk 2077

A fresh driver update from AMD! Besides adding support for the new $999 Radeon RX 6900 XT video card, the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.12.1 has optimizations for Cyberpunk 2077. The Radeon RX 6900 XT got launched about an hour ago and is almost as fast as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, but definitely not as good for ray tracing. The biggest issue with the card is definitely availability and that's a problem that's expected to persist for several more months. There are also some early reviews of Cyberpunk 2077, the game still appears to be quite buggy but CD Projekt RED promises the launch-day patch will solve a lot of issues seen by those who already got the game.

Anyway, here are the release notes of the new Adrenalin driver:
