In the release notes, AMD states that the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT GPUs get up to a 16% performance boost versus the previous Radeon Software Adrenalin drivers at 4K resolution. That's a big boost and appreciated for users who are planning to play the game either in early or launch-day releases. The release note also mentions fixes for Baldur's Gate 3 but some users may face driver timeout issues within Starfield running Dynamic Resolution.
