Upcoming NimeZ 22.7.1 Driver Brings AMD Noise Suppression to Older Radeon GPUs
Thanks to the aftermarket driver community, a Reddit user reported that AMD’s noise suppression tool has been adopted in an unofficial form for older Radeon GPUs. u/rysresolvext. A group known as NimeZ, famous for creating community drivers to support older Radeon cards, has released AMD’s latest 22.7.1 Adrenalin update to support older cards such as the Radeon 400/500 series, Vega GPUs and Ryzen APUs. was reverse engineered.
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, it is not ready for download on NimeZ’s official Guru3D forum thread. But it should arrive anytime.
In a quick recap, AMD recently made a lot of improvements, including Radeon Super Resolution support for hybrid AMD notebooks and massive OpenGL optimizations that deliver up to 79% better performance in Minecraft on select RX 6000 series GPUs. We have released a new graphics driver with the functionality of
But the biggest update of all is the addition AMD noise suppression, According to AMD, a new tool that allows users to reduce background audio noise using a “real-time deep learning” algorithm. and does the same.
However, the biggest drawback of AMD Noise Suppression is that it is highly GPU limited, requiring at least a Radeon RX 6000 GPU or newer. This is in stark contrast to his Nvidia, which allows users to run noise suppression on his RTX GPUs of previous and current generations.
Now comes the new NimeZ driver to fix this issue. This third-party driver enables AMD Noise Suppression on pre-RDNA2 cards, including GCN, Polaris, and Vega GPU architectures.
The new update may also add OpenGL optimizations and other features found in the 22.7.1 driver to older GPUs, but this has not been confirmed yet.
If you’re not interested in noise suppression but want better support for unsupported Radeon GPUs, NimiZ has provided unofficial drivers for Radeon GPUs for over a year now and looking for drivers and performance fixes. could be a good alternative.
However, these are aftermarket drivers that are not officially endorsed by AMD themselves, so be careful when using them. With unofficial support, there is always the possibility of getting bad drivers, or downloads containing malware.
