Toward the launch of the latest consumer graphics cards AMD also introduced the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.7.1 driver, which includes, first of all, support for new GPUs. However, in addition to this, the first July driver brings a lot of other innovations.
For example, the driver adds a new intelligent image sharpening feature called Radeon Image Sharpening. It combines sharpness correction with adaptive contrast adjustment and GPU-assisted scaling to deliver the sharpest possible image with virtually no performance degradation. The technology can be activated in DirectX 9, DirectX 12 and Vulkan games on AMD Radeon RX 5700 series graphics.
The second new feature, AMD Radeon Anti-Lag, improves I/O response times. According to the manufacturer, the technology is available in the Radeon settings and allows you to reduce delays in DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 by up to 31%. In active games, increasing the speed of response to button presses can sometimes be decisive for victory. In addition, AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards now have the ability to automatically set the display to low latency (gaming) mode when TVs are connected via HDMI 2.1.
In addition, the AMD Link app now supports auto-discovery and one-click connection, as well as connecting to Apple TV and Android TV through a new simplified TV interface. AMD Radeon Chill now has the ability to set framerate caps based on the refresh rate of a particular monitor, sometimes delivering up to 2,5x more power savings than before. The AMD Radeon WattMan utility also received several innovations and improvements. But in general, the Radeon Settings interface has the ability to save and load multiple settings profiles for different needs.
AMD engineers have also fixed a number of issues:
- on some systems with Ryzen APUs, the driver was not completely removed when using the quick uninstall option.
- The Performance Metrics Overlay intermittently displayed incorrect colors in games.
- Radeon Overlay did not work in Doom (2016).
- Radeon Overlay would not display or run in full screen mode under Windows 7.
