AMD has implemented a large number of improvements and innovations in these new drivers. It is offered, as an important novelty, improving the support for Vulkan. We are going to detail all the new features implemented.
Support
- Wolfenstein: Youngblood improves performance by 13% over AMD Adrenalin 19.7.2RS-304
- Radeon GPU Profiler on the AMD RX 5700
- Microsoft PIX on the AMD RX 5700
Vulkan support
- VK_EXT_display_surface_counter: This extension defines a vertical blanking period associated with display surfaces. Provides a mechanism to query support for such a counter from a VkSurfaceKHR object
- VK_AMD_pipeline_compiler_control: This extension provides a way to configure compilation options per pipeline, for example to relax rounding rules when working with mixed precision floating point values.
- VK_AMD_shader_core_properties2: This extension exposes additional properties of the AMD specific shader core for a physical device
- VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control: This extension provides additional control over the size of the subgroup, allowing applications, for example, to opt for different subgroup sizes on devices that support more than one.
- VK_KHR_imageless_framebuffer: This extension allows you to create frame buffers without the need to create images first, allowing more flexibility in how they are used and avoiding the need for many of the compatibility rules.
- VK_KHR_variable_pointers: This extension allows implementations to indicate their level of support for it
- SPV_KHR_variable_pointers SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension allows the use of private pointer shader invocation modules in uniform and / or storage buffers, where pointer values can be dynamic and non-uniform. This release adds optional VariablePointers support.
