Right, I wasn't sure if I wanted to write about it today, as there should be an embargo on this content up-to the 8th of December from what we understand. However over at Wccftech they got their hands on what seems to be a  presention of upcoming Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Drivers, and decided to post it all.



Normally we'll sit things like these out, however the Wccftech post is spreading like wildfire over the web so there hardly is a reason for the embargo anymore with these slides and information available everywhere. From the looks of it, AMD is to release Radeon Software Crimson ReLive drivers on the aforementioned date. The December driver looks to be an incremental driver update just as we have seen on roughly a monthly release schedule with lots of zero-day driver releases when games are released. The driver team has put a lot of focus on consumer feedback and tries to deal and adapt towards the demand from you guys. 

From what is leaked it seems that the past few months the driver team has been working on a series of driver features. Ever since the RTG group was launched the Radeon Software division has released 29 drivers of which 8 were WHQL releases, supporting and optimized for over 28 gaming titles, with a total of 85 million downloads. The driver enhancements, changes and updates can be bulleted up towards these primary features:

  • DisplayPort HBR3 support
  • VP9 decode acceleration at 4K 60 Hz support
  • HDR 10 Support
  • FreeSync mode update
  • Radeon Chill
  • Radeon ReLive DVR integration 
AMD seems to have implemented their own DVR implementation into the Crimson drivers. So yes, the most prominent feature will be the integration of a proper DVR, thus recording say game screenshots and videos even streaming them towards the most popular solutions. The slides also claim performance increases of Radeon cards such as the RX 480 see of up to 8% performance increase with Relive. This however are the incremental performance increases over time, and not specific to the 16.6.2 driver in the slide.

Below you can find some slides that have been leaked at Wccftech, on Thursday the 8th (if nothing changes) we'll have a full article ready with DVR functions tested (if the wccftech leak is for real of course).
