AMD ,today we were surprised!

For those who missed it last month, version 20.Q3 of the Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise is also out, which is basically the above without the Adrenalin stuff. Stability over gaming optimizations (which I've seen to be around a 5% to 10% performance loss based on my experience with PUBG and Warzone).

Also I haven't experience these issues on the Pro drivers:

• Brightness flickering may be experienced on some VP9 video content playback through applications or web browsers on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics product system configurations.
• Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.

Let's see if they fixed extended_dynamic_state.

GoldenXLet's see if they fixed extended_dynamic_state.

Shouldn't you use extendedDynamicState if this is being called in Vulkan? Or is this the VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state bug that crashes DMC5 and Shadows of the Tomb Raider?

Look at these:
raw.githubusercontent.com/goldenx86/yuzu-emu.github.io/aug20/site/content/entry/yuzu-progress-report-aug-2020/smobug.png this is with VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state enabled and in use on 20.8.3.
raw.githubusercontent.com/goldenx86/yuzu-emu.github.io/aug20/site/content/entry/yuzu-progress-report-aug-2020/smofix.png this is with VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state disabled.

Nvidia had a similar issue when they released the vulkan beta driver some time ago, it is fixed by now. Intel still shines for its lack of support. mesa's RADV ACO got it sooner than the rest, but I haven't tested it yet.

Ah yeah so its in the Vulkan driver. Just report it to @INSTG8R or any of the other Vanguard peeps (and on the AMD Bug Report tool) and they'll take a look at it.

My experience with the Bug report tool is pretty bad, seems like AMD just collects those and never looks at them.
Guess I'll try again. I'll also try again to inform them of the broken 3D textures in Vega.

Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU offers an average 12% better FPS performance in Fortnite (DX12) on the Epic setting, vs. the previous driver iteration

Thats actually a lot, considering the game is not that new at all.

Actually, they make significant changes each season, so it's at least partially a new game. The graphics look quite different than last season, so they must have updated their graphics engine to support RT, etc.

I knew they updated the game fairly regularly but didn't expect engine upgrades (it makes sense tho, considering UE gets updated quite often) in such scape to warrant a 12% performance uplift.
Considering AMD was behind Nvidia in this particular title, will be interesting to see what's the gap now.

I've installed the new driver yesterday. Must say it works pretty darn good. (Actually never had any crazy problems with the driver nor the card anyway). You dont even have to turn off the ULPM in the registery any longer. Actually, You won't be able to switch ULPM off now. Either way I haven't seen any slow downs (clock drops) during gaming so far. To my surprise, haven't tested it properly yet but I think some games faster a bit faster now. Need to check the strange brigade since DX12 was faster for me than Vulcan.

Stability over gaming optimizations (which I've seen to be around a 5% to 10% performance loss based on my experience with PUBG and Warzone).

Also I haven't experience these issues on the Pro drivers:

the pro drivers are absolutely not the same as above & do not contain the same listed fixes or vulkan additions, they are on a different older branch, simply compare the package version numbers (i havent looked at Q3's yet, but Q2 was a november branch that also had the old settings screen since the new one was introduced in december)

but i dont think all game optimizations are removed, that might have been a side effect of the branch difference depending on which versions you were testing, i should hex edit (inspect) the dlls again like i used to...

ShurikNThats actually a lot, considering the game is not that new at all.

dx12 update is less than half a year old, rtx update is last week, the entire island changed last year, all this in addition to testing out new engine features every few months before making them available to developers

even if the engine stayed the same, there would be different particle effects, different objects, & a lot more water than ever simply with the map (chapter) & item shop changes, 'requiring' gpu makers to do another round of optimizations

i'm trying to think of another game that had driver updates a long time after release... maybe destiny 2's expansions? world of warcraft for sure, codwarzone vs cod 2019
