AMD hat mit der Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.8.1 Beta eine neue Version seines Grafikkarten-Treibers veröffentlicht. Neue Funktionen kommen nicht hinzu, dafür aber werden einige Optimierungen für bestimmte Spiele eingepflegt. Dazu gehören „Monster Hunter: World", „World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth", „We Happy Few" und „Madden NFL 19".
„Monster Hunter: World" soll je nach Auflösung und verwendeter Hardware (Radeon RX Vega 64 oder Radeon RX 580 ) etwa 5 % schneller als mit dem Vorgänger Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.6.1 sein.
Außerdem führt AMD einige Erweiterungen für die Vulkan-API ein:
- VK_EXT_descriptor_indexingThis extension adds several small features which together enable applications to create large descriptor sets containing substantially all of their resources and selecting amongst those resources with dynamic (non-uniform) indexes in the shader.
- VK_KHR_get_display_properties2This extension provides new entry points to query device display properties and capabilities in a way that can be easily extended by other extensions, without introducing any further entry points.
- VK_KHR_8bit_storageThis extension allows use of 8-bit types in uniform and storage buffers and push constant blocks.
- VK_KHR_draw_indirect_countThis extension allows an application to source the number of draw calls for indirect draw calls from a buffer.
- VK_KHR_create_renderpass2This extension provides a new entry point to create render passes in a way that can be easily extended by other extensions through the substructures of render pass creation.
- EXT_vertex_attribute_divisorThis extension allows instance-rate vertex attributes to be repeated for certain number of instances instead of advancing for every instance when instanced rendering is enabled.
