AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition: Overlay, App & More for 2017
by Nate Oh on December 12, 2017 9:00 AM ESTAdrenalin Enhancements Part 2: New Toggles, Linux & More
The next set of Adrenalin updates has even shorter descriptions. Among them, FreeSync can be toggled per game, while the Radeon Settings UI has three new themes, though not user customizable. The release notes specified support for HDR10 titles with Radeon FreeSync 2 displays as well.
AMD also mentioned their “GPU Workload” Radeon Settings toggle between graphics and compute, intended for improved cryptocurrency mining performance, which was introduced in October’s 17.10.2. In this case, AMD explicitly stated that the ‘compute workload’ mode was designed for Ethereum.
Borderless windowed mode is now supported on Multi-GPU configurations. And like 17.7.2, AMD has worked on reducing latency in DX11 games.
AMD gave a Linux update as well, mentioning the Radeon Software for Linux mixed-open/closed-source stack. As for the AMD Vulkan Open-Source Driver, the slide footnote simply says "Coming Soon: Full Source code access". No other information was provided.

If memory prices are going to kill the PC gaming market, they're going to kill the console market too. They don't work without memory.mkruzel - Thursday, December 14, 2017 - link
Worry not. Higher prices = more incentive -> more competition. As long as we have free market higher prices will lead to more competition.baka_toroi - Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - link
Have they finally got rid of that browser popup that opens when you finish installing drivers and reads in a single line of plain text "Congratulations, you have installed drivers!" ? I could get better UX design guidelines from Zimbabwean software in the Windows 98 era.kronkers - Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - link

I hope they let you not install all the extra software. All I want is drivers, the control panel and NOTHING ELSE.FATCamaro - Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - link

iPhone X review...when?lmcd - Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - link
While I appreciate that the wider community desires an iPhone X review, the core Anandtech community has traditionally enjoyed PC component news, reviews, and updates. They're not even the same reviewers, so it's really a nonfactor in the timing, but I'm glad to see more content like this appearing in a timely manner.lucam - Wednesday, December 13, 2017 - link
..which means it's not gonna happen. Thanks for the update
