AMD Shares Adrenalin 2020 Edition Details By Accident?

AMD is working on a new driver update that will be bringing a new feature called BOOST. How do we know this? Well, AMD accidentally posted details in their current drivers, you know the rotating content in its drivers. It is listing Adrenalin 2020 and something called Radeon Boost.

The driver content quickly moved to Reddit where it is detailed that something new is brewing, a feature that offers dynamic resolution based on game speed it seems, BOOST. Wherever possible, the driver can adjust the resolution to provide gamers with the best consistent experience. As part of the details within the driver update, the description would be similar to the Hialgo Boost algorithm:

“BOOST intercepts and on the fly modifies commands sent from the game to the graphics card, optimizing performance frame by frame. When you are in action and the camera moves, BOOST decreases the resolution to boost the framerate. When camera stops, it restores full resolution. This provides optimal responsiveness and smoothness for the game, even with weak graphics card.

It's all a little fuzzy in detail really, but hey more soon we guess. Check the thumbnails.

I don't know, this looks like a useless feature to me. I like my games looking good.
This might be a good thing for TN panel evangelists who can clearly see difference between 218 and 240FPS though.

I think this can be a very handy and innovative feature if implemented correctly.

Sounds like a good idea for lower performing graphic cards. I guess I'll never use it though.

I would totally love that feature because my 5700Xt cant quite run everything at 4k but with dynamic scaling it could work for the most part.

Isn't that what consoles have been doing for a while, dynamically altering the resolution to maintain fps?
