The latest graphics drivers from AMD improve game performance in Guardians of the Galaxy by as much as 21% at 4K Ultra. These figures were obtained using the flagship Navi 2x graphics cards, namely the Radeon RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT on Adrenalin 21. (Ambien) 10.3 (compared to 21.10.2). An even larger performance boost can be seen in Age of Empires IV where the Radeon RX 6800 XT is faster by 45% with the same driver.
