Fallout 4 gets performance boost on AMD cards thanks to new drivers

Those of your running AMD cards in your PC rigs may see a huge improvement to the way one of the year’s biggest releases performs on your machine.

AMD released a new driver for its graphics chips today that the company specifically optimized for Fallout 4 along with Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and Star Wars: Battlefront. This is a crucial update considering that Fallout 4 was having some issues — especially in terms of framerate — on AMD hardware. It’s not that Bethesda’s open-world role-playing game didn’t hit 60 frames per second on an R9 390X, for example. The problem was primarily that AMD cards had more instances where the framerate would experience drastic drops compared to equivalent hardware from Nvidia, according to tests by benchmarking site GamersNexus.
