Radeon’s Ready for Red Dead Redemption 2 with its latest graphics driver

  

Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.11.1 Highlights

Support For

– Red Dead: Redemption II

Added Vulkan Support

– VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
This extension introduces a new semaphore type that uses an integer payload to identify a point in a timeline. The extension supports querying the semaphore, host wait/signal operations, and device wait/signal operations.

– VK_KHR_shader_clock
This extension allows a shader to query a real-time or monotonically incrementing counter at the subgroup level or across the device level.

– VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types
This extension enables the nonuniform group operations in SPIR-V to support 8-bit integer, 16-bit integer, 64-bit integer, 16-bit floating-point, and vectors of these types.

– VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties
This extension allows debugging and performance tools and applications in general to query properties and statistics about the pipeline compilation process.

– VK_KHR_spirv_1_4
This extension allows the use of SPIR-V 1.4 shader modules, which in turn allows easier translation from high level languages into spirv.

– VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control
This extension enables an implementation to control the subgroup size by allowing a varying subgroup size and also specifying a required subgroup size. The optional feature to allow full compute subgroups is enabled.

– Clustered Subgroup Operations
This feature bit allows invocations to perform cluster operations such as add, mul, min, max, and, or, xor among partitions of a subgroup. The operations are only performed within the subgroup invocations within a partition.
