AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.7.1 is now available for Radeon PCs, adding day-one support for the new Radeon RX 9050 and game profiles for Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta Early Access and Out of Control Evolution. AMD’s release notes, also highlighted by Overclock3D, confirm the package supports both Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit version 21H2 or later—not Windows 11 alone. For existing Radeon owners, the more practical reason to update is a concentrated set of fixes for Radeon RX 7000-series and newer hardware. AMD says the release resolves model-flickering and rendering failures in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender, as well as intermittent Blender crashes on some systems. It also fixes a missing directional-indicator icon in Fortnite.

The driver addresses intermittent crashes in games using AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 on Windows 10 with Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs. AMD also says it corrected an issue where Adrenalin could report FSR Upscaling and FSR Frame Generation as inactive in Battlefield 6 on Radeon RX 9000-series cards even when those features were enabled.
AMD packages two Windows driver versions under the 26.7.1 release label: version 26.10.35.01, with Windows Driver Store version 32.0.31035.1003, and version 25.10.45.01, with Store version 32.0.21045.1000. That distinction can matter when checking the installed driver in Device Manager rather than relying only on the Adrenalin version number.
The supported desktop lineup covers Radeon RX 5700 series through RX 9050 series, plus several Radeon PRO cards. Older, pre-RDNA Radeon GPUs are not supported by this release.

Known Issues Still Matter Before a Fleet-Wide Rollout​

AMD lists several unresolved problems, including possible crashes or driver timeouts in Battlefield 6 on systems using a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. Texture flickering or corruption can also occur in that game when AMD Record and Stream is active on some Radeon products.
Administrators and power users should also note two installation-related caveats:
  • AMD Smart Access Memory can become disabled after installing the driver on Windows 10 systems, so its status is worth checking after the reboot.
  • AI Bundle component installation can fail in regions where access to Hugging Face or GitHub is limited.
For most RX 7000-series owners affected by Blender, Cinema 4D, Fortnite, or FSR 4.1 instability, 26.7.1 is a targeted update worth testing. For managed PCs and Battlefield 6 players using the affected Ryzen AI platform, the remaining known issues make a staged deployment the safer course.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.7.1 is now available for Windows 10 and Windows 11, adding launch-day optimization for Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta early access and official support for the Radeon RX 9050. The update also fixes several rendering and stability problems affecting Radeon RX 7000-series and newer hardware.
AMD’s July 28 release notes list Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta Early Access and Out of Control Evolution as the driver’s new-game support targets. Xbox has set the E-Day beta’s early-access start for August 6, ahead of the game’s October 6 launch. The PC version supports AMD FSR alongside Unreal Engine TSR and Intel XeSS, so Radeon owners have more than one upscaling path available.

The release is not only a game-profile update. AMD says it fixed model flickering and rendering failures in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender, a Blender crash issue, missing Fortnite directional-indicator icons, and intermittent crashes in some games using FSR Upscaling 4.1 on Windows 10.
There are still reasons to approach the upgrade carefully on production or finely tuned gaming systems:
  • AMD says Smart Access Memory can become disabled after installation on Windows 10 systems.
  • Battlefield 6 may intermittently crash or time out on systems using a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor.
  • Using AMD Record and Stream in Battlefield 6 can cause texture corruption or flickering on some Radeon hardware.
For Windows 10 users relying on Smart Access Memory, the practical step is to verify that it remains enabled in Adrenalin after rebooting. Administrators rolling out the package broadly may also want to stage it first on systems that use the affected Ryzen AI mobile platform.

RX 9050 joins the supported RDNA 4 lineup​

Adrenalin 26.7.1 provides new-product support for the Radeon RX 9050, AMD’s latest entry-level RDNA 4 desktop GPU. As reported by KitGuru, the card is positioned for Asia-Pacific, Japan, and Latin American markets with a suggested e-tail price of $279.
AMD lists support for Radeon RX 9000, RX 7000, RX 6000 and RX 5000 desktop series in the new package, with Windows 11 version 21H2 or later and 64-bit Windows 10 version 21H2 or later supported. The driver package identifies Windows driver store versions 32.0.31035.1003 and 32.0.21045.1000.
For Radeon players planning to enter the E-Day beta next week, 26.7.1 is the sensible baseline. For everyone else, its bug fixes are useful—but Windows 10 systems using Smart Access Memory merit a post-installation check before the old driver is discarded.
