AMD Pushes Excessive SSD Writes Fix Via Latest Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1 Optional Driver - Wccftech
AMD has released an optional driver update version 26.11.1 that fixes the excessive SSD writes issue affecting Radeon RX 7000/9000 series users.
The problem that left many Radeon users frustrated has finally gotten an official fix. Several GPU owners had discovered an issue with the Adrenalin driver that continuously wrote data to storage drives in the background, even when systems remained idle.
Driver Update Details
While some workarounds helped users, AMD didn't release an official fix until now. The optional driver update version 26.11.1 addresses the excessive writes discovered by Radeon RX 7000/9000 users. The release notes confirm the problem existed when users moved or resized application windows, with both issues supposedly fixed in this update.
New Issues Emerge
The "Known Issues" section lists nine new bugs affecting AMD's latest products, particularly the RX 7000/9000 series and Ryzen AI 400 series processors. These include intermittent application crashes and driver timeouts in games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, War Thunder, and Cyberpunk 2077.
Artifacts have been reported in Phantom Blade Zero on RX 9000 series and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. AMD considers these mostly minor issues that should be addressed in upcoming updates.
