Con Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.11.1 AMD aggiorna i driver per Red Dead Redempion II

AMD ha rilasciato un aggiornamento, il primo del mese di novembre 2019, per le proprie schede video della famiglia Radeon: parliamo del driver Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.11.1, con il quale accanto agli abituali fix per bug presenti nelle precedenti versioni è stato implementato il supporto al nuovo gioco Red Dead: Redempion II.

Da segnalare anche l'integrazione di correzioni per il frame rate limit a 60 fps che si verificava con precedenti versioni di driver utilizzando le API Vulkan, API per le quali è stato implementato il supporto a nuove estensioni. Il download è disponibile a questo indirizzo, nelle versioni a 64bit per sistemi operativi Windows 10 e Windows 7; di seguito le principali note che accompagnano i driver.

Support For

• Red Dead: Redemption II

Added Vulkan Support

• VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
  • This extension introduces a new semaphore type that uses an integer payload to identify a point in a timeline. The extension supports querying the semaphore, host wait/signal operations, and device wait/signal operations.
• VK_KHR_shader_clock
  • This extension allows a shader to query a real-time or monotonically incrementing counter at the subgroup level or across the device level.
• VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types
  • This extension enables the nonuniform group operations in SPIR-V to support 8-bit integer, 16-bit integer, 64-bit integer, 16-bit floating-point, and vectors of these types.
• VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties
  • This extension allows debugging and performance tools and applications in general to query properties and statistics about the pipeline compilation process.
• VK_KHR_spirv_1_4
  • This extension allows the use of SPIR-V 1.4 shader modules, which in turn allows easier translation from high level languages into spirv.
• VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control
  • This extension enables an implementation to control the subgroup size by allowing a varying subgroup size and also specifying a required subgroup size. The optional feature to allow full compute subgroups is enabled.
• Clustered Subgroup Operations
  • This feature bit allows invocations to perform cluster operations such as add, mul, min, max, and, or, xor among partitions of a subgroup. The operations are only performed within the subgroup invocations within a partition.

Fixed Issues

• Some users may be unable to connect their Twitch account through the Connect page in Radeon Settings for live streaming.
• The Outer Worlds may sometimes experience an application crash when opening the characters inventory screen.
• The Outer Worlds may experience character models being rendered incorrectly on the inventory screen.
• Frame Rate may cap or remain limited to 60 fps in some Vulkan API games.
• OBS streaming may experience heavy frame drops when using AMF encoding..

Known Issues

• Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products may experience stutter in some games at 1080p and low game settings.
• Performance Metrics Overlay may cause stutter or screen flashing on some applications.
• Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products may experience display loss when resuming from sleep or hibernate when multiple displays are connected.
• Toggling HDR may cause system instability during gaming when Radeon ReLive is enabled.
• Stutter may be experienced when Radeon FreeSync is enabled on 240hz refresh displays with Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
• AMD Radeon VII may experience elevated memory clocks at idle or on desktop.
• Performance Metrics Overlay may report incorrect VRAM utilization.
• Invoking Radeon Overlay may cause games to lose focus or become minimized when HDR is enabled within Windows .
