AMD's Frank Azor has promised new drivers for gamers with Radeon RX 6000 series (and older) hardware. The update is slated to arrive in two weeks and might not have anything for the current-gen Radeon RX 7000 SKUs, although AMD promises to return to a unified driver approach soon.

While AMD's Adrenalin 22.12.2 driver (and the ones before it) addressed many issues faced by Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, it had nothing for last-gen GPUs. To make matters worse, there have been no RDNA 2 drivers for the past two months. Thankfully, that will change soon, as promised by none other than AMD's Frank Azor.

Frank says new drivers for the Radeon RX 6000 (and older) graphics cards will arrive in the next two weeks, provided things go smoothly. Whether or not it will include anything for Radeon RX 7000 owners remains to be seen. However, Frank says AMD wants to return to its unified driver strategy and is actively working on it.

Our recent Alienware m17 R5 (Ryzen 9 6900HX plus Radeon RX 6850M XT) review chided AMD for poor drivers, thus resulting in a sub-par experience on an otherwise stellar laptop. It is even less acceptable on a high-end laptop that costs above US$2,000. One can only hope that AMD's new drivers alleviate some of the issues faced by its last-gen parts.
