AMD Software Crimson ReLive Redux Released Next Month will get Perf OSD
Each year in December AMD releases their 'big' driver with a thing or two new to offer. Next month it'll be released and called the Software Crimson ReLive Redux driver.
The new driver will among other things, offer an OSD showing registers like FPS game performance. Two screenshots already leaked onto the web, as AMD always hypes up their stuff with small virals, so it is not a surprise to see this 'leaked' a few weeks prior to release.
The two screenshot below has been posted by Blaze #RXVega on twitter, he's part of the red team (fanbase). By adding an OSD overlay, AMD now follows what Nvidia has been offering with their GeForce Experience. Albeit from the looks of things, AMD offers more registers to poll like VRAM, CPU and other stuff. Typically these drivers are posted in week 1 or 2 of December.

Looks good, should be usefull.
I dont care if they copied nvidia on this one or not(seems to be a logic way to improve interface, nvidia or not)
Whatever you changes they do, i hope they dont start off something as awfull as nvidia mandatory login, that thing sucks.

Fingers crossed it's not just a cosmetic update.

Well I have AMD since forever, they always are improved dramatically every last driver of the year, BUT, I am not so happy with relive. It was not a big step IMO. Let's hope it is time to see everything polished.

And I thought only Creative is bad in naming things. This is not too far from "Creative Extreme-Fidelity Extreme Fatality Pro Gamer Series" anymore xD.

Users got banned because they had cheats on the backround running...Cheers.
Next month's headline: "AMD users banned from Destiny 2 for using default driver installation."

Yeah I think AMD defers to the DirectX recommended practices so if a game (EDIT: Or software in general.) allows for adjusting VSync that will override the driver settings, similar to triple buffering.
Enhanced sync, fast-sync and free-sync and other techniques for manipulating VSync and it's traditional downsides could really benefit from the driver taking control over the software though, not every game allows for adjusting some of these settings so the defaults can vary from one title to another and not every game allows other software to interfere with and override these settings either.

From a user on the AMD subreddit, it had me laughing, I just had to repost:
AMD Radeon Crimson ReLive Redux Super Turbo Ultra Arcade HD Remix Revengeance 2: Electric Boogaloo Limited Collector's Edition DX EXTREME
I agree the naming is getting a bit out of control.
