AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition: Overlay, App & More for 2017

The last piece of Adrenalin is bringing some of these features into your smartphone or tablet. Available for Android 5.0 or later and iOS 10 or later, the new AMD Link App launches today, offering ReLive, performance monitoring, software update notifications, and an AMD news feed.
Adrenalin Edition features a new AMD Link button on the bottom bar. After the AMD Link Server is enabled, Radeon Settings displays a QR code that can be scanned by AMD Link to form the connection. There is also a manual input option with a server PIN, but with either method the authentication code or PIN will update every 15 seconds or so. Multiple devices can connect and control the Radeon Software, and can be managed on this AMD Link Configuration menu.
With the performance monitoring feature, the monitor can track average, minimum, and maximum FPS for exclusive fullscreen games, with the screen background colored red below 30 FPS, orange between 31-60 FPS, and green above 60 FPS.
Once again, ReLive integration shows up with one-touch capture, streaming, and instant replay functionality. The ReLive gallery shows all gameplay videos and images, where long pressing a file will bring up share options to social media.
AMD Link ReLive can also function as a remote control, in the sense that users can control recording, streaming, screenshots, and instant replay from the app.
As for the more minor functions, the notifications keep track of driver and AMD Link updates. The newsfeed brings up AMD news from their social media and RSS.

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
If you look at the URL string it reports back to AMD with your system specs.Flunk - 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
