In these titles, AMD lists a 23% average improvement. Initial game support covers several titles including Overwatch, PUBG, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. AMD states there is little to no perceptible change in image quality. This works by lowering the game resolution to allow for increased performance (note this does disable AMD Chill).

Now it is available through AMD software for ease of access.Īnother new feature, AMD Boost, is designed to increase performance when fast motion is detected. This method, AMD says yields better quality over traditional de-noise and upscaling filters. This uses Microsoft Machine Learning to reduce visual noise and upscaling filters to assist in accelerating image quality enhancements. Another new feature is the addition of DirectML Media filters. Unlike bilinear scaling, this comes without a performance hit. In addition to the existing features with updates, the Adrenalin 2020 drivers have implemented Integer Display Scaling, which scales on-screen images from one pixel to four (or more) from a lower resolution on a pixel by pixel basis, improving image quality on older, low-resolution titles. When gaming, the middle section becomes more of a system monitor displaying information about GPU and CPU use, VRAM and fps information and brings some of the media and capturing functionality to the forefront. The Home screen is also contextually aware in that if you are playing a game and switch to it, the display is different than if you are just sitting at the desktop. Even with the smaller size, the text and other information are still easy (for me) to read. Windows scaling is a part of this (set to Windows default 150%), but when setting it to 100%, the window is much smaller. The GUI itself is easy to navigate though it is huge on my 4K monitor, taking up nearly the entire screen. This section also includes an Upgrade Advisor that displays simple red, yellow, and green colors to determine if your hardware meets the minimum game specification defined by the developer. It also tracks game performance and statistics, showing the amount of time played and average fps.Īdditionally, the status of your drivers and software (versions) the upgrade advisor, as well as media and capture for screenshots/recording is new and now part of the Home screen.

This includes the new Game Center giving you quick access to games and the ability to launch each from one location regardless of what store (Steam, Origin, Uplay, etc) it was purchased from. It starts out on the home section that displays status information. Once installed, the new GUI displays a lot of information for the user.
