AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 24.6.1 has been launched, bringing with it new game support, extended HYPR-Tune support, and Windows 11 24h2 operating system support. It also adds AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 compatibility to Counter-Strike 2, which reduces latency in titles such as Baldur's Gate 3, F1, 23, and Resident Evil 4. AI on Radeon further enhances speed and memory footprint for Large Language Models (LLMs) by enabling 4-bit quantization acceleration. AMD ROCm software is now available for PyTorch users with compatible hardware, eliminating the need for multiple boot configurations.

The package also includes support for Agility SDK 1.613 and Microsoft's Agility SDK 1.614.0 features, as well as AMD DirectX 12 Work Graphs 1.0 API and D3D12 Work Graphs compatibility for AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series. AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 is enabled by default in the Counter-Strike 2 "ADVANCED VIDEO" settings menu, resulting in increased responsiveness through in-game CPU-GPU pacing.
