The AMD Driver Thread

DragonQ said:
RIS is basically a way to reduce your rendering resolution whilst keeping visual quality high. For example, instead of rendering at 2560x1440, you could render at 1920x1080 and enable RIS. It won't look as good, but it'll look better than just rendering at 1920x1080. Of course you'd then get the benefit of a higher frame rate because rendering at a lower resolution is easier for the card, and RIS has minimal impact on performance.

Chill is particularly useful for laptops or louder cards. It lets the frame rate drop when there isn't much movement on screen. Instead of rendering everything as fast as possible, it instead might see that you're not moving your character and drop the FPS from 100 to 40 FPS (random example). Your card will obviously run cooler when not working as hard.

I personally don't use either feature. I am very sensitive to image quality, particularly frame rates, so I prefer native rendering and high frame & refresh rates at all times, but they are certainly useful features for some.

Afterburner is a third-party app that allows you to change your card's voltages, clock speeds, and fan profiles. I personally only use it for a nice custom fan "curve" (really a stair step) because AMD's fan control is *****. I use AMD's own WattMann for my undervolt and overclock though since it works fine. Maybe one day I'll be able to ditch Afterburner.

Thanks for the info, none of it appears to apply to me which is what I wanted to confirm.
Sorry I didn't mean Afterburner, there is a new driver feature and I can't remember what it's called
 
Ryzen 5 2500U with Vega 8 notebook.
The issue is that in Radeon Settings it doesn't allow to change the colours to YCbCr.
RGB looks quite dark and with missing colours.

Any ideas how to enable YCbCr?

Its right there usually. Its probably some limutation of the laptop.

I doubt there is a technical issue, like limited capacity of a given component.

Look, it doesn't make any sense:

Hardware and Software Requirements
The Pixel Format option is only available on systems that uses a direct HDMI-HDMI connection from the AMD graphics card to the display. NOTE! DVI-HDMI and DisplayPort-HDMI adapters/cables are not supported.

To access Pixel Format option using the latest compatible AMD graphics drivers is recommended. For instructions on installing graphics drivers please refer to KB: How-to Install Radeon Software on a Windows® Based System
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-007

Really? Available to HDMI-HDMI only?

I can see it using displayport.

It's a mess, really. They knew that about HDMI and put eDP anyways. But isn't DisplayPort the better interface?
And also, if it's set to RGB, which RGB is it - full or limited, and what's the problem not to be able to switch between them, at the very least?
 
@LtMatt Is the following a bug that I need to report to AMD or Paradox?
Custom game profiles for Paradox Interactive games do not work any more, after PDX added a launcher "layer" on top of the games.

So regardless if run the game normally or through Wattman, the fps cap applies only for the launcher not the game.
Also Imperator cannot make the overlay work at all (Alt+R) to set ichill in game, regardless the display settings (fullscreen/windows/borderless)

there will be 2 exes, 1 for the launcher and 1 for the game, just add the other exe to wattman manually and it should resolve the issue. atleast is does in my case with games where launchers are involved.
