The new driver update is essential for Radeon GPU owners as it stops the excessive writes.
Following Nvidia's GeForce 621.24 Game Ready driver, AMD has also announced a new display driver update, though this one is not WHQL certified, as it is an optional release meant to patch a very concerning issue wherein SSD drive health could quietly degrade over time. This has been happening due to the AMD External Events Utility service (atieclxx.exe) which was consuming loads of data in the background.
Upon release of the driver, AMD mailed us today to inform us about the new 26.11.1 optional driver, as it is a very important release every Radeon GPU owner must install if you have anything from the Radeon 9000 or 7000 series lineup. Those with previous gen cards were not affected, it seems.
As such, the driver has no optimization for any upcoming games. The full changelog is given below:
Fixed Issues
Excessive writes to the system drive may be observed while the system is idle on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products and above.
Excessive writes to the system drive may be observed while moving or resizing application windows.
