Every PC gamer who has used a custom-weighted mouse with 20,000 DPI knows that communication is essential in multiplayer games. To achieve this, AMD is aiming to make you easier to understand while using a mic in-game. The new AMD Noise Suppression feature will use your graphics card to intelligently block background noise from your surroundings, like an air conditioner or the sound coming from your personal speakers. This new power can be used to say “gee gee GTFO” or other similar phrases. xrplay.org

The new system is a competitor to Nvidia’s RTX Voice feature, now part of the Nvidia Broadcast suite. It accomplishes more or less exactly the same thing. Despite the association with gaming and the use of either a Ryzen 5000+ CPU or Radeon RX 6000+ GPU, the AMD Noise Suppression feature isn’t limited to in-game communications. Once the driver is set up to work, it can be used with any app that uses voice input. This includes Zoom, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Discord and other applications that make use of voice input.

Also included in the Adrenalin 22.7.1 driver update are a number of notable OpenGL improvements that AMD claims will boost performance in games like Minecraft by as much as 90 percent on certain RX 6000 cards. Radeon Super Resolution (the older standard, not the more impressive FSR2) now works on notebooks equipped with discrete RX5000 and RX6000 cards in hybrid graphics setups. It also supports borderless fullscreen mode. Download the latest Adrenalin driver package here.
