AMD launches their 20.11.3 driver for Immortals: Fenyx Rising and Vulkan Ray Tracing

  

Support For

– Immortals: Fenyx Rising
– Vulkan Ray Tracing Extensions

Added Vulkan Support

– VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate
– This extension provides the ability to change the shading rate per fragment. This extension allows for multiple pixels to be shaded via a single fragment shader invocation as opposed to the normal rate of one invocation per pixel.
– VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
– This extension provides acceleration structures for representing geometry that is spatially sorted. Acceleration structures are the most common way for quickly identifying potential ray intersections by ray tracing techniques.
– VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
– This extension introduces ray tracing pipelines along with new shader domains and an indirection table to link shader groups with acceleration structures.
– VK_KHR_ray_query
– This extension introduces ray queries, which can be used by any shader type outside of the optional dedicated ray tracing pipeline to return traversal results to the calling shader.
– VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations
– This extension defines the infrastructure and usage patterns for deferrable commands, which allows dependent extensions to defer their own operations. The VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations extension itself does not specify any commands as deferrable.
– VK_KHR_pipeline_library
– This extension introduces pipeline libraries. A pipeline library is a new special pipeline type that defines a set of pipeline states. It cannot be bound, rather it can be linked into other pipelines.
– VK_KHR_shader_terminate_invocation
– This extension indicates support for the SPV_KHR_terminate_invocation SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension introduces a new instruction OpTerminateInvocation that allows a shader invocation to immediately terminate, which provides the behavior required by the GLSL discard statement.

Fixed Issues

– Lower than expected performance may be experienced on Radeonâ„¢ RX 6000 series graphics products in Watchdogs:® Legion and Dirtâ„¢ 5.
– Lower than expected performance may be experienced on Radeonâ„¢ RX 5000/500/400 series graphics products in Godfallâ„¢.
– Godfallâ„¢ is not detected or listed in Radeon Software gaming tab.
– Crysisâ„¢ Remastered may experience corruption on character models on Radeonâ„¢ RX 6800 Series graphics products.
– Fixed some intermittent crashes found in Total Warâ„¢ Saga: Troy and World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands.
– World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands may fail to launch when DirectX®12 API is selected on Windows®7 system configurations.
– Fixed some intermittent crashes found in Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War with DirectX® Raytracing enabled.
– HDR on supported Windows 10 desktops might get disabled when DOOM® Eternalâ„¢ starts rendering in HDR mode.
– Fixed issues found on Adobeâ„¢ Illustrator, Adobeâ„¢ Premier and FinalWire AIDA64.
– Fixed corruption issues in Red Dead Redemption 2 in 1080p resolution on Radeonâ„¢ RX 6800 Series graphics products.

Known Issues

– Brightness flickering may intermittently occur in some games when Radeonâ„¢ FreeSync is enabled, and the game is set to use borderless fullscreen.
– Metro Exodusâ„¢, Shadow of the Tomb Raiderâ„¢, Battlefieldâ„¢ V and Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare may experience intermittent application crashes with DirectX® Raytracing enabled.
– Anisotropic Filtering in Radeonâ„¢ Software graphics settings is not taking effect in DirectX®9 applications on RDNA graphics products.
– Some games may experience stuttering when set to borderless fullscreen and an extended display is connected running the Netflixâ„¢ windows store application on RDNA graphics products.
– Radeonâ„¢ recording and streaming features may fail to enable on AMD Radeonâ„¢ HD 7800 series graphics products.
– Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider may cause FPS to become locked to 30.
– Performance Metrics Overlay and the Performance Tuning tab incorrectly report higher than expected idle clock speeds on Radeonâ„¢ RX 5700 series graphics products. Performance and power consumption are not impacted by this incorrect reporting.
– Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
– Oculus Link users might experience crashes on Polaris and Vega series graphics products.
– Flickering might be observed if the Radeon Software Overlay is invoked while Immortals: Fenyx Risingâ„¢ is running on an extended display.
– Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege might experience corruption in Hybrid Graphics scenarios when using the Vulkan API on an extended display.
– Screen flickering might be observed when using MSI Afterburner.
