Amd released a new graphics card driver today, but it is very special. It is not a beta version or an official version, but preview driver may 2022 , performance and functions have changed dramatically.
First, the upgrade supports RSR 1.1
Although amd RSR is also a super-resolution technology, it is different from FSR and FSR 2.0. It does not rely on specific graphics card hardware and games. It is directly integrated into the driver and can support almost any game with one click, but it is only limited to RX 5000 / 6000 Series graphics cards.
In addition to supporting the new version of RSR 1.1, the new driver also adds a sharpen effect adjustment option, which can finely adjust the sharpening degree of RSR by sliding left and right, so as to better adapt to different games and balance image quality and performance.
Second, Dx11 game performance improvement
Of course, although the mainstream is dx12 and Vulkan, it is touching that AMD has not forgotten Dx11 games, and they are all familiar games.
In particular, general performance improvements can be obtained on RX 6000 series, including:
World of Warcraft: Shadow Kingdom - 30%
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - 28%
Total war legend: Troy - 17%
《GTA5》——11％
Watchdog: Legion - 10%
Fearless Pact - 7%
Apex heroes - 5%
Total War: Warhammer 3 - 5%
Lonely island 5 - 4%
Farm simulation 22 - 3%
Samurai 3 - 3%
Watch the vanguard - 3%
《PUBG》——3％
In addition, tests show that "island crisis remake" can also increase by up to 24%.
3、 Sam technology optimization
Amd Sam technology allows the processor to access all the video memory capacity of the graphics card, so as to improve the performance for free. After continuous optimization, the effect is more and more obvious. The effect of AMD processor with AMD graphics card is especially good.
The new driver optimizes Sam for two games. Death stranded RX 6950 XT 2K can be improved by up to 12% under the highest image quality, and watchdog Corps RX 6950 XT can be improved by up to 24%
It should be noted that this preview driver only supports RX 5000, RX 6000 series desktop graphics cards and Rx 6000m series notebook graphics cards**
