RadeonPro is being developed again :)

[Chrisoldinho]

Just incase anyone wasn't aware, japamd has started working on RP again, awesome news for all AMD card users.

What makes it even better is some of the features he's already put in to it like dynamic vsync control which works in the same fashion as Nvidia's Adaptive and loads more, instead of me trying to explain what's now in this app, here is the last changelog I could find:-

- Changed: German translation update (thanks to Lennart Brüggemann)
- Changed: improved OSD rendering performance on DirectX 10/11 games
- New: FXAA support (DirectX 9/10/10.1/11)
- New: FXAA is toggleable during the game (configure the hotkey on RadeonPro's Settings screen)
- New: Dynamic Vsync Control (DVC) support. This feature controls how vertical synchronization is applied at rendering time, automatically turning it off when frame rate is below monitor's refresh rate to reduce stuttering and turning it on when framerate is above or equal to monitor's refresh rate, improving smoothness.
- New: DVC is toggleable during the game with HOME key.
- New: Dynamic Framerate Control (DFC) support. This feature acts like a frame rate limiter with smoothness control, just set a frame rate target and RadeonPro will try to keep it as close as possible while maintaining frame rendering times close to each other to avoid stuttering.
- New: DFC is toggleable during the game with END key.
- New: DFC feature's frame rate target is adjustable in real time, press INSERT to increase the limit and DELETE to decrease it.
- New: On-Screen Display panel, showing current status of some RadeonPro features on top of game screen. Press PAGEDOWN key to toggle panel visiblity.
- New: Better keyboard handling (i.e. fixes some games that don't allow change of FPS corner)
- New: Improved hook handling with better Steam overlay compatibility
- Fixed: screenshots now works in DirectX 10/11 with R10G10B10A2/B8G8R8A8 formats used by some games (Dirt 3/Showdown, F3AR). Performance is not so good as in other games, but it will be optimized soon.
- Removed: skins (all). They will be replaced by new Web skins feature. Anyone with HTML and Javascript skills will be able to create skins for RadeonPro.
- Removed: Aggressive API detection (useless with new hook handler)

There is a forum thread running over at Guru3d where you can track progress or you can download the latest preview directly from the Radeon Pro web site.

One word of warning, the application is under constant development, so changes are daily currently.

This is great news for all AMD card users!!!

Sounds good if it works as advertised. Adaptive V-sync for ATI

Nice spot Chrisoldinho, not used it in a long while as CCC implemented a profile function for CrossFire, shall have a look.

OT-Chrisoldinho, what kind of clocks can you get?

I just received one today so was wondering as to what kind of figures they can achieve.

How you getting on Tommy?

 

[tommybhoy]

Only got it installed, won't get to test it out until later gregster but as far as I can tell, no coil whine, so that's a start.

Cool Tommy. I went on YouTube to listen to the coil whine and if my GPU had it, it would be returned.
