Cartes graphiques

Les Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.4.1 débarquent, quoi de neuf ?

AMD emboite le pas de Nvidia avec la publication de nouveaux pilotes graphiques, les Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.4.1. Estampillés WHQL ils s’accompagnent de nouveautés et  plusieurs bugs sont corrigés.

Disponibles en téléchargement ces drivers graphiques Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.4.1 sont certifiés WHQL. AMD décide d’apporter des nouveautés au processus d’installation. De nouvelles options permettent de choisir entre trois installations différentes. Nous avons les modes complet, minimal et uniquement les pilotes graphiques sans aucun logiciel supplémentaire.

En parallèle la fonction Link pour Windows permet de se connecter à son PC gaming depuis n’importe quel terminal Windows afin de jouer n’importe où. Le constructeur explique

« La nouvelle fonction AMD Link Game permet aux utilisateurs d’inviter leurs amis à rejoindre leur PC depuis un autre système Radeon en vue de jouer aux jeux compatibles avec le réseau local ou l’écran scindé ».

Ces drivers s’accompagnent de fonctions de réglage et de visualisation des métriques de performances étendues.  Elles apportent des informations de performance autour de la carte graphique mais pas seulement. Les processeurs Ryzen sont pris en charge. L’ensemble de ces informations est compilé à un même endroit.

A tout ceci s’ajoute des améliorations autour des fonctions d’enregistrement et de diffusion permettant de partager des moments en jeu au travers d’un nouvel assistant de streaming facilitant le streaming pour les nouveaux venus. Nous avons également la prise en charge de Microsoft PlayReady AV1 par la gamme Radeon RX 6000 pour des contenus protégés en haute qualité et l’AMD Crash Defender est censé améliorer la stabilité. Selon AMD cette sécurité devrait permettre de reprendre la main (sans un redémarrage du PC) après un crash du pilote.

Enfin plusieurs défaillances sont normalement corrigées. Elles concernent différentes choses allant du Radeon Chill à des soucis avec des casques VR (Radeon RX 500 serie) en passant par des problèmes avec des télévisions haut définition. Ce point des problèmes sont rencontrés avec l’utilisation de l’HDM, des Radeon RX 6000 series et un haut rafraichissement.

Vous trouverez tous les détails en fin d’article. A noter des bugs sont encore présents et sans solution.

  • SteamVR may experience an application crash when a VR headset is connected on Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.
  • Some high refresh rate, high resolution TV displays may experience corruption when connected via HDMI on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.
  • Applying changes in Radeon Performance Tuning may sometimes fail to take effect for changes made to power tuning.
  • Lower than expected performance may be experienced in some CPU intensive workloads or games.
  • Global performance tuning overclock profiles may sometimes override game specific performance tuning profiles or cause game specific performance tuning profiles to fail to load on a games launch.
  • Radeon Chill may experience lower than expected performance when a game is left idle for an extended period with Radeon Chill enabled.
  • Flickering may be observed in Radeon Software performance overlay while playing Cyberpunk 2077™ on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.

Known Issues

  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
  • Connecting two displays with large differences in resolution/refresh rates may cause flickering on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.

  • Performance metrics may incorrectly report temperatures on Ryzen 5 1600 series processors.
  • The download or launch Ryzen Master buttons in Radeon Software may intermittently disappear or may fail to initialize Ryzen Master.
  • If Ryzen Master is not detected in Adrenalin software after installation, a system restart maybe required.

AMD Link for Windows Known Issues

  • AMD is investigating isolated reports of intermittent loss of signal during Stream Optimization if HEVC is used on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products or later. A workaround is to use the AVC encoding setting instead.
  • Intermittent grey frame corruption might be observed when streaming with HEVC on certain configurations via an Internet connection. A workaround is to use the AVC encoding setting instead.
