Just a silly question: what features is available on which card ?
I mean, VSR was announced on a driver as a new feature, but not all the cards supported can use it.
So what about the GCN 1.0 card (such as 7700~7990) ? Do they support "DisplayPort HBR3", "VP9 decode acceleration at 4K 60 Hz" and "HDR 10 Support" or those are only for r400 card ?
The only information I found is about wattman (which exclude gcn 1.0)...
Edit:
Disclamer use number which are not present in the text above.
Answer is available on amd latest driver page.

"AMD often mimics a lot of what NVIDIA does. So in this case NV has FCAT, and AMD now all of the sudden is introducing something called OCAT, short for Open Capture and Analytics Tool. This open source benchmarking tool."
This is not true at all, PC Perspective is the one who developed the FCAT tool, not Nvidia.
