What's Up Everybody Chris AKA Hellen Here with a Little News Blip

I recently came across an article going over the new Radeon Crimson Relive drivers, and I have to say that I'm really excited about it. The "Relive" feature is what caught my attention, as I know that Raptor support ended in the Crimson drivers a little while ago. Some people use Raptor to record gaming and stuff like that, but it still didn't quite measure up to Nvidia Shadow Play or GeForce Share. Well, now with the Radeon Relive, we'll be able to get that.

The new feature will have an overlay, instant replay options, can have a stream option, screenshot option - basically, it's got everything. It's AMD's response to Nvidia Shar or GeForce Share, which is really interesting and quite a welcome addition to the Crimson software suite. I think it's great that AMD is innovating with some of these features, especially when it comes to gaming performance.

Another feature that caught my attention is the "Crimson Chill" feature. It works in a similar way to the Crimson driver's frame rate targeting control, which helps control where the frame rate is at. The way chill works is automatic and seamless, making sure there's no wasted power with your graphics card. This results in better performance and less input lag because it takes care of queed up frames. Essentially, the graphics card doesn't have to wait at certain steps like it normally would, like if you had Vsync on for example.

The Crimson Chill feature also makes sure that there's no wasted power with your graphics card, which results in reduced temperatures. This is especially because the card is not working as hard, rather not wasting any unnecessary cycles. It gets a bit more complicated than that, but I'll link some new sites that go into it a little bit more for those who are interested.

What I find really interesting about the Crimson Relive feature is that it's at such a deep level of the driver and how the graphics card works. Essentially, it only works right now with DirectX 9, 10, and 11, but DirectX 12 and Vulcan support is not available yet. However, it's cool to see AMD innovating with some of these features.

The driver is going to have performance increases for all GCN-based cards, probably up to a max of about 8%. The RX 80 will see the biggest improvement in some games, while older cards like the 7950 might not see as much. A bit of research online shows that certain games, such as Ash's Singularity, have ACN compute disabled in GCN 1.0 cards, which is kind of a big deal. They are still working well, so it's worth considering moving away from those at this point.

I find it interesting that AMD would do that anyway. It's just another example of how they're trying to improve and innovate with their features. This looks like their moment in the sunlight, and I think they're going to knock it out of the park with Zen.

whatever you want to call it but that relive feature is going to be really nice because it's um I know that Raptor support ended in the Crimson drivers a little while ago and some people use Raptor to record gaming and stuff like that but it still didn't quite measure up to like Nvidia Shadow play or or uh share whatever you want to call that one and uh now with the Radeon relive we'll be able to get that it's going to have an overlay it's going to have an instant replay options can have a stream option screenshot option basically it's a amd's response to Nvidia Shar or GeForce share which is really interesting and uh quite a welcome uh addition to the Crimson software suite something else that's very interesting is the Crimson chill uh feature which is uh it works ilarly to the Crimson driver's frame rate targeting control um which just kind of helps control where the frame rate at you said it in in in that setting but the way chill works is it's automatic it's seamless and the way that it controls frame rates it makes sure that there's no wasted power with your graphics card so in essence it can result in little bit better performance little less input lag because it's not it's it takes care of queed up frames and so the B basically the graphs card doesn't have to wait at certain steps like it normally would uh like if you had vsync on for example and it can also uh result in reduced temperatures uh especially because the card is not working as hard rather it's not wasting any any unnecessary cycles and uh it gets a little more complicated than that in my opinion it's kind of similar to uh fast sync and how it tries to control things but uh fast sync is more vsync oriented as far as um uh where the frames go and in this case it's just specifically keeping them in a certain range but all being seamless so when it wants more power it'll pump up the frames but if you can get away with doing a little less work to have less heat and um uh less issues it will T tune itself down dynamically and dynamically back up but um it's a little bit more complicated a little bit hard to explain uh I'll link some new sites that go into that a little bit more but I do think it's going to be very interesting what I find a little more interesting on that though right now is that it's at such a deep level of the the driver and how the graphics card works that essentially it only works right now with DirectX 9 10 and 11 uh DirectX 12 and Vulcan support is not available yet but it is coming so it's cool to see AMD innovating with some of these features the driver is going to have performance increases for all gcn based cards um probably to a Max of about 8% probably the RX for 80 will see the biggest Improvement in some games and the older guys like the 7950 um not too much however uh a little bit of research online shows that certain games uh like Ash's Singularity for example um gcn like ACN compute has been disabled in gcn 1.0 cards that's kind of a big deal they are a little bit old so it's worth considering moving away from those at this point but there's they still work good so it's I find it interesting that AMD would do that anyways that's just a little news blip uh Crimson radon drivers the relive relive whatever you want to call it looking forward to that I'm not an AMD guy myself I used to be I used to be all AMD and I've just been waiting for them to shine again and it looks like their moment in the sunlight is almost back they started with Polaris and they're going to knock it out of the park with Zen in my opinion so can't wait to see where all this goes and uh you know what yeah just really looking forward to that if you guys like this video make sure to click that like button subscribe if if you uh didn't like it hit that dislike
