Why are people hung up on the fact we've not had a driver release for anything other than RDNA3? Looking at the 22.11.2 release notes these are the known outstanding issues. For me personally absoultely none of those impact me. I mean two of the issues are for a web browser and one is for a laptop. We have literally one specific game issue noted.
Now lets compare that miniscule list above, to the RDNA3 issues.
Can you imagine if you look at that list and AMD decided to prioritise the 6000 series and not 7000 series. People would certainly be complaining about that! I've not had any issues to complain about on my 6700XT or now 6900XT so why do I all of a sudden need a new driver? Focus on getting RDNA3 up to scratch.
Known Issues
- Intermittent system stuttering or UI flickering may occur when two videos are simultaneously playing using chromium-based browsers.
- During video playback and gameplay, frame drop may occur in chromium-based browsers with variable refresh rate enabled extended displays.
- Brief display corruption may occur when switching between video and game windows on some AMD Graphics Products such as the Radeon™ RX 6700 XT.
- Texture flickering or artifacts may occur during Warhammer 40,000: Darktide™ gameplay.
- Some laptops using hybrid graphics and AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series Processors with Radeon™ Graphics may have no sound output using certain Realtek Audio versions.
Now lets compare that miniscule list above, to the RDNA3 issues.
Known Issues
- Corruption may be encountered when using Virtual Super Resolution with multi-display configurations [Resolution targeted for 22.12.2].
- A system crash may be observed when changing display modes with 4 display configurations [Resolution targeted for 22.12.2].
- While loading Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales™ an app crash or driver timeout may occur after enabling ray tracing settings [Resolution targeted for 22.12.2].
- High idle power has situationally been observed when using select high resolution and high refresh rate displays.
- Intermittent app crashes or driver timeout may occur when using Radeon Super Resolution with some extended display configurations.
- Video stuttering or performance drop may be observed during gameplay plus video playback with some extended display configurations.
- Stuttering may be observed in UNCHARTED™ 4: A Thief’s End during the opening game sequence.
- While playing Valheim™ an app crash or driver timeout may occur using Vulkan® API. Any users who may be experiencing these issues should select DirectX® API as a temporary workaround.
- Some virtual reality games or apps may experience lower than expected performance.

It could be they have simply forked off to nail the main issues and then they might merge again into one release for all. It could be that we'll see (for an example) a re-merged package inclusive of all at the next big point release, perhaps a 22.13.1. Just wait and see. I'm guessing again here, but they most likely could have released the last two updates for all series cards but it would have been a fruitless task and literally just been a driver number change with no fixes for any other cards. So it would be pointless.
