From PC Mag: AMD says it didn't actually kill off power delivery support for RX 7900 GPUs with USB-C ports. Apparently, the note that said it did was released in error, adding more fuel to the garbage fire of a driver release. What AMD didn't rescind, though, is the segmented drivers, so it looks like older GPUs are going to miss out on game optimizations moving forward.
"We'd like to inform you that the release notes for AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10 2 posted today included misinformation that has since been corrected," AMD said in a statement to TechPowerUp. "There is no change to USB-C functionality on the RX 7900 series GPUs in the 25.10.2 driver. There was an incorrect line in the originally posted release notes that has been removed, and the release notes have been updated. We apologize for any inconvenience."
This is good news for those affected, as previously, AMD seemed to have a dismissive attitude toward any potential impact from the change. In the original driver release, it stated: "USB-C power charging has been disabled for Radeon RX 7900 series graphics products. Users requiring this feature are recommended to use AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition version 25.3.1."
