In this part of the video, the speaker discusses installing drivers for the RX 6950 XT, noting the transition from Adrenaline to 23.q3.1 drivers, which also work with the 7,000 series cards. These drivers may not be readily available on the AMD website for 7,000 series cards but can be located through a Google search. Pro drivers are highlighted for stability and software optimization over gaming. Performance variations are shown in games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, where Adrenaline drivers outperform, and in Robocop Rock City, where Pro drivers excel. Notably, Pro drivers demonstrate better performance in Unreal Engine five titles for the RX 6950 XT.

In this segment of the video, it is observed that the pro drivers show better performance with Unreal Engine games such as RoboCop which uses Unreal Engine 5, while the adrenaline drivers show better performance in games like Resident Evil 4 with the RX 79 and XTX. Results vary with different resolutions, showing that the adrenaline drivers offer smoother gameplay in some instances. The RX 7900 XTX results are comparable with both driver versions, with minimal noticeable differences in real gameplay between the two. The last of us on the RX 6950 XT showed varying results at different resolutions, with the pro drivers consistently delivering higher results. Moving to Cyberpunk 2077, the adrenaline drivers are slightly faster than the pro drivers, especially in the 1% lows at 1080p and 1440p, but slightly lower at 4K.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on discussing the performance differences between the Radeon RX 6950 XT and RX 77900 XTX GPUs with Pro and Adrenaline drivers in games like Ratchet and Clank, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Alan Wake 2, PUBG, and Fortnite. Overall, there are fluctuations in FPS numbers at 1440p and 4K. The Pro drivers show varying performance results compared to Adrenaline drivers, with inconsistencies in 1% lows and overall FPS numbers across different resolutions. The segment suggests that game optimizations, usage of Direct Storage, and engine types like Unreal Engine 4 and 5 may influence the GPU performance. Despite some fluctuations, the RX 6950 XT and RX 77900 XTX generally show better performance with Pro drivers in certain games.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses benchmarking of various games with RX 6950 XT and RX 7900 XTX graphics cards using different drivers. The Adrenaline drivers show significant performance improvements, with notable increases in FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. Games like Starfield and Counter Strike 2 showcase smoother gameplay and higher averages with Adrenaline drivers, especially in 1% lows, highlighting their superiority over pro drivers, particularly at 4K resolution. The conclusion emphasizes the overall better performance and smoother gameplay with Adrenaline drivers.
