Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.11.3 Highlights

Support For

  • Immortals: Fenyx Rising:tm:
  • Vulkan:registered: Ray Tracing Extensions

Added Vulkan:registered: Support

  • VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate
    • This extension provides the ability to change the shading rate per fragment. This extension allows for multiple pixels to be shaded via a single fragment shader invocation as opposed to the normal rate of one invocation per pixel.
  • VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
    • This extension provides acceleration structures for representing geometry that is spatially sorted. Acceleration structures are the most common way for quickly identifying potential ray intersections by ray tracing techniques.
  • VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
    • This extension introduces ray tracing pipelines along with new shader domains and an indirection table to link shader groups with acceleration structures.
  • VK_KHR_ray_query
    • This extension introduces ray queries, which can be used by any shader type outside of the optional dedicated ray tracing pipeline to return traversal results to the calling shader.
  • VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations
    • This extension defines the infrastructure and usage patterns for deferrable commands, which allows dependent extensions to defer their own operations. The VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations extension itself does not specify any commands as deferrable.
  • VK_KHR_pipeline_library
    • This extension introduces pipeline libraries. A pipeline library is a new special pipeline type that defines a set of pipeline states. It cannot be bound, rather it can be linked into other pipelines.
  • VK_KHR_shader_terminate_invocation
    • This extension indicates support for the SPV_KHR_terminate_invocation SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension introduces a new instruction OpTerminateInvocation that allows a shader invocation to immediately terminate, which provides the behavior required by the GLSL discard statement.

Fixed Issues

  • Lower than expected performance may be experienced on Radeon:tm: RX 6000 series graphics products in Watchdogs::registered: Legion and Dirt:tm: 5.
  • Lower than expected performance may be experienced on Radeon:tm: RX 5000/500/400 series graphics products in Godfall:tm:.
  • Godfall:tm: is not detected or listed in Radeon Software gaming tab.
  • Crysis:tm: Remastered may experience corruption on character models on Radeon:tm: RX 6800 Series graphics products.
  • Fixed some intermittent crashes found in Total War:tm: Saga: Troy and World of Warcraft:registered:: Shadowlands.
  • World of Warcraft:registered:: Shadowlands may fail to launch when DirectX:registered:12 API is selected on Windows:registered:7 system configurations.
  • Fixed some intermittent crashes found in Call of Duty:registered:: Black Ops Cold War with DirectX:registered: Raytracing enabled.
  • HDR on supported Windows 10 desktops might get disabled when DOOM:registered: Eternal:tm: starts rendering in HDR mode.
  • Fixed issues found on Adobe:tm: Illustrator, Adobe:tm: Premier and FinalWire AIDA64.
  • Fixed corruption issues in Red Dead Redemption 2 in 1080p resolution on Radeon:tm: RX 6800 Series graphics products.

Known Issues

  • Brightness flickering may intermittently occur in some games when Radeon:tm: FreeSync is enabled, and the game is set to use borderless fullscreen.
  • Metro Exodus:tm:, Shadow of the Tomb Raider:tm:, Battlefield:tm: V and Call of Duty:registered:: Modern Warfare may experience intermittent application crashes with DirectX:registered: Raytracing enabled.
  • Anisotropic Filtering in Radeon:tm: Software graphics settings is not taking effect in DirectX:registered:9 applications on RDNA graphics products.
  • Some games may experience stuttering when set to borderless fullscreen and an extended display is connected running the Netflix:tm: windows store application on RDNA graphics products.
  • Radeon:tm: recording and streaming features may fail to enable on AMD Radeon:tm: HD 7800 series graphics products.
  • Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider may cause FPS to become locked to 30.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay and the Performance Tuning tab incorrectly report higher than expected idle clock speeds on Radeon:tm: RX 5700 series graphics products. Performance and power consumption are not impacted by this incorrect reporting.
  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
  • Oculus Link users might experience crashes on Polaris and Vega series graphics products.
  • Flickering might be observed if the Radeon Software Overlay is invoked while Immortals: Fenyx Rising:tm: is running on an extended display.
  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six:registered: Siege might experience corruption in Hybrid Graphics scenarios when using the Vulkan API on an extended display.
  • Screen flickering might be observed when using MSI Afterburner.
