Is this the first ever glorious AMD driver? I had so many bad ones 10 years ago, and the Adrenaline driver, released today, seems to be turning the tides!

yes i'm hyped about a driver, hate me! This have support as long back as the HD 7XXX!

Or my own picked features:
>Game overlay function, EVERY control can becontrolled
>"Chill" as a compliment to Freesync, designate power saving options, and the algorith works it out. Civ6 at 10 FPS in still frame, move one pixel, 70 fps instant. (Vega GPU got as low as 40watt!)
>ReLive - first functioning streaming function in driver?
>AMD Link, everything can be controlled from an app over wifi!

It's fucking genius.

>that accent

Yes, scots should've been gassed back in the 17th century.

yeah, but you get used to it.

His very critical of the companies usually, and more theoretical than practical. But he could propably save Linus from the meme shit channel, even with that accent.

This looks actually fucking useful.
Can nVidia finally copy this mighty please?
I need this for my 980ti.

that accent is fucking godly

I sometimes dream of a having a scottish gf and hearing her god "ohh yis shag me arse"

>GPU Temp 102
Yup, sounds like an AMD GPU alright!

Seriously now, I do like being able to see stats on an external device, that's quite useful. I wrote my own program which runs on an old PDA to do that.

Only one release at the time, like every other big company. Slow and steady, milking the market. titan V, fuck them.

neato
can i see it? what's it run on?

Titan V is actually a half-decent product for personal ML workstation.
I want actually decent consumer fucking software from a company that is famours for decent fucking software.
Why the fuck half the driver suite is still using the control panel out of 2003?

See AMD is till out for blood. Pushing Intel and Nvidia ever harder.
Fucking impressed with the power consumption control. If things keep up Navi might just be next on my list

Guess what driver is officially open source

testing my AMD 7870

fucking disgusting

>I sometimes dream of a having a scottish gf and hearing her god "ohh yis shag me arse"
Great. Now I have to search for Scottish porn. Hope I don't come across too many sheep

Report back with your findings brother

>I had so many bad ones 10 years ago
NAME ONE, MOTHERFUCKER

(and, no, the fanspeed locked on bootup doesn't count, as that was quite recent)

I swear you fucks spread misconceptions around like soft melting butter on a toast.

On an old Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560, unofficially flashed to WM 6.1. I like having the old PDA do something useful again, I loved it back in the day.

>2018
>Drivers are now about the prettiness of user interface then actual performance and stability
Kill me please.

Seconding this.
Does this driver still demand that you remove the old driver and then install the new? Always found that to be an annoying pain in the posterior!

Never done that though, at least for the past 15 years, never had problems.

It would actually be pretty bad if the driver weren't stable that something as basic as stability would be a headline feature for the yearly "big" driver release.

>>GPU Temp 102
>Yup, sounds like an AMD GPU alright!
Where the fuck do these numbers come from, mine never goes over 68C under load.

I used to use my iPaq exactly for that.

>Is this the first ever glorious AMD driver?
Every AMD driver is always the first glorious driver that people pretend to be finally good, but always end up as shit. I'd rather have the old school control panel without any of this obnoxious horseshit,

Any updates? My 8970 has been stuck on 2013 drivers because my APU isn't supported with newer ones.

If you could report back that would be great.

The temperature in the video is 55C

All graphics cards drivers always suck, doesn't matter if it's AMD or Nvidia.
The only ones that weren't total bullcrap where Voodoo driver

Fuck knows, some air-starved Vega maybe, or it's just a mockup from some marketing guy who doesn't know shit. 102C is ridiculously high otherwise.

This is about the only thing I can't think of to do with it that's also useful. Even the web has gotten so bloated that hardly anything is usable. It works perfectly well as a performance stats display though and I like it way more than actual overlays over a game.

It's the same image in the video too.

>All graphics cards drivers always suck, doesn't matter if it's AMD or Nvidia.
I'm okay with nvidia drivers on windows, and linux (to be honest I'm only on my first nvidia card this year though). I'm also happy with the open source amd drivers, so the only drivers that I personally think suck are the ones that AMD releases themselves.

Everything works (beside all new Vega features, like watt usage)

And holy shit my jaw doped, some engineer found time, to make my numlock LED blink when AMD Chill got enabled, it's a old fucking generic HP office keyboard from 2005.

Pic related, ignore the dust, see the LED

>Using bar charts that don't start at zero.

That's a dick nVidia move right there. AMD lost the high ground.

264 watts to 64.

yup, which over priced DDR4 are you gonna buy from this saving?!

It's completely fine, when you show clear numbers on actual performance. I see nothing wrong in AMDs marketing, it's only FOX news and CNN styled charts that make me chringe.

See this:

Still no Vega hardware features enabled. They can suck my dick.

Can anybody get iOS app for AMD link? It's up on Android, but i can't find it for my shitty iOS

This should help sate you

>Ayyymd fanbois and /o/fags are crazy over this botnet shit made by pajeets

Probably not up yet, Apple has a slow verification process.

When is intel gonna catch up

Really wish I could have gotten custom vega/freesync but its so overpriced I got a 1080 instead

How about mining hashrates though?

Literally nothing new for vega. Im getting real tired of amd desu

>nothing about vega

Kek. What a fucking joke

might get an amd gpu if this is real.

it is real

Nice. AMD has done a really good work open sourcing their linux drivers, AMDGPU just werks. What's left to open source? OpenCL components?

Sure, on GeForce experience just for 19.99$ a month

And don't forget to log in with your Facebook account!

What, is that a new driver for tablets? I didnt know there were any mobile devices running amd hardware

Is there a reason for this shit besides also giving them a pipe to upload telemetry to their cloud? Wtf would I want a phone app for my graphics card? Where the fuck is DSBR and fp16 support?

Well if you set up amd link manually you set the server as your pc. But of course this does not prevent them from sending this data anyway if they wanted to, but that was always possible so don't be a fag.

You still can't explain to me why the fuck you need a phone app for a goddamn video card and since AMD still hasn't managed to put streaming hardware enc/dec/frame buffer capture into their GPU and either
> Have an app that utilizes it
> Open up API access
They are still behind the curb.
I was expecting features to be enabled finally and all you get instead is some worthless phone app and pretty GUIs.

Overlay means they're doing frame capture, overlay, and then reserving it out of the GPU.. So, where is the API access? Both ngreedia and AMD enjoy hiding these features behind telemetry apps and no your server is not your pc w/ amd link dipshit. Its being processed through their cloud... Just like ngreedia's telemetry app : Geforce experience.

>have RX 480 8GB from some leftover pre-built I got from a MicroCenter really cheap when I worked there as it was a shitty HP build
>no warranty on the card
>not sure if I should sell it and play with the 1050ti I got for $115 before the mining craze, while hoping to get a new cheaper 580 with warranty, or just keep it
Do 8GB RX 480s sell even for anything?

>nvidia has done this for a while
>literally no one cares
>amd does it
>GUYS ISNT THIS AMAZING MINDBLOWING WOW THEY JUST KEEP RELAUNCHING THE SAME OLD SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN TRULY REVOLUTIONARY - I LOVE APPLE I-I MEAN AMD

How can you have a job and be so poor?

>Do 8GB RX 480s sell even for anything?
No, I'll give you $50 for it though because I am feeling generous.

What does this do? I haven't kept up with tech news in a while.

I own both Nvidia and AMD vidya cards and this is my sentiment. I don't see what the fanfare is about. This is exactly what telemetry Geforce Experience does that has gotten a lot of hate here. Drivers are drivers. Shit tier overlay/add on software is just that. Drivers are invisible and function near the hardware level. I'm still waiting for FP16 and various other features they marketed to be enabled in drivers. I could give a shit less about relive or whatever they decide to call it next month. I dont install telemetry bullshit on my computer. Open source Vulkan looks good which has nothing to do w/ this release. Open source OpenCL support is even better. Do these things and resolve the features that aren't enabled that that would be mindblowing. Goys love GUIs though.. so here you have it.

It's not exactly a career job as I'm still in College, just something extra that I do in my free time for extra $$$ in paying off college overall.
However it was not really a question of whether I can afford it or not, but instead on if it's possible to save a bit more in selling an 8GB RX 480 for money towards a new GPU.
Also I haven't checked the new 580 prices so I think they are still in the 300s I believe, which honestly is not worth that much in investing as I already have a GPU (1050ti).
It's a cherry on top sort of thing, don't need it (since I have a GPU already) but would like, and since my monitor has freesync as well.

What?
>what is relive
>what is gpuopen
You can even use the hardware encoder with OBS if you don't like AMD's program.

> Drivers
----
> Relive
> Obs
----
> GPU OPEN = Open source drivers and API access

3 different categories. AMD has decoder hardware for h.264/h.265. To my knowledge they dont have encoder hardware nor do they have frame buffer capture hardware.
So, they're still behind nvidia and they're engaging in Ngreedia's same dick tactic via their own telemetry software suit that is akin to geforce experience.

What I am most interested in is :
> Performance improvements via drivers
> Feature enablement from the featureset they marketed vega on
> Open source stacks : GPU OPEN

Performance improvements came w/ adrenaline
Feature enablement did not occur
Open source stack is coming.
So, meh...
My vega is literally sitting on a shelf.

would be so much better if they would work on a standardized interface for this shit but ultimately it's entirely disappointing something like this is getting hyped when both have so many problems

They do have a hardware encoder, it's called VCE and it has been there since GCN1.0, that's what Relive and OBS use. They offer a framework for using it, AMF, which is part of GPUOpen.

>Is this the first ever glorious AMD driver?
Meanwhile even the MAD pajeets at /r/amd are talking about class action suit because primitive shaders are still not working.

Ok, so .. they have an :
> Encoder
> Decoder
for h.264 and h.265 (HEVC). I was aware of the decoder and figured they had an encoder.

However, do they have frame buffer capture hardware and is it made availability via an API? This is the crucial feature that's missing which is of value to all streams. Ngreedia for instance has this and the hardware is present on their consumer cards but they only allow access via Telemetry Geforce Experience. So, what does AMD do in this regard, if they even have the hardware, that isn't equivalent to Nvidia?

I have an RX vega that's sitting on a shelf.
If they don't deliver soon, it's going up on ebay or I myself will be joining in with such legal proceedings. I bought the card based on features that were advertised over and over that they have not delivered on or even provided a timeline. It's a fucking paper weight until they do.

cheapest card out of these that does hevc/vp9 decode?
