AMD Readies Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition, You Can Talk to Your Graphics Card
AMD is preparing Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition, keeping up with the tradition of big year-end software launched that are high on new features. VideoCardz got a whiff of three if its key features. One of them is Voice Control. You will soon be able to talk to your graphics card through voice-commands picked up from your microphone. Rolling out initially in English and Chinese, you will soon be able to control a lot of things while still in game and not having to take your hands off your keyboard/mouse. These include taking screenshots, telling the driver to record or stream your gameplay using ReLive, adjust display settings such as brightness, contrast, and gamma; etc. It should also take commands to change resolution, rotate displays, move workspaces between multiple displays, etc.
Enthusiasts can rejoice as WattMan could get an expanded feature-set, including one-click overclocking, similar to NVIDIA's "Turing" OC Scanner. This one-click OC feature cranks up not just your GPU's clock speeds, but also video memory. The drivers also support fully automated undervolting, which should make several current-generation Radeon graphics cards more energy-efficient. Lastly, AMD seems to be compensating for NVIDIA's VirtualLink implementation by introducing a more advanced interface - direct streaming to VR headsets. Think Steam Link for VR headsets.

Im sure with the amount of voice clips stored, they can run it though some sort of wave/vocal analyzer and have it mimic or reproduce your voice patterns perfectly. I mean, Alexa is always listening right?
Hopefully this isn't all, some performance uplift would be nice.
I also have 0 interest in talking to my GPU. It is a GPU, it draws graphics, that is all it does or should do. All the voice commands listed can be done with a simple button press, it is LESS work then talking to the damned thing.
Wattman: "I don't recognize AIB R9 390 designs (anymore)"
Me: "Bad excuse, Crimson use to auto control the fans ?"
Wattman: "I hate Hawaii and you are just not worth it - buy a Vega and I'll see what I can do"
Me: "Screw you, I'm using Afterburner, or better yet, I'm going to flash my own custom fan profile"
Better yet, I hope this "feature" is completely optional and not required to be installed. After all, Relive used to be optional
...keep dreaming.
edit: Automated undervolting? YAY! (if it works)
Msi afterburner however doesn't support my vega at all, no fan control, no voltage, only power, temp, clocks and that's it and I have a msi oc boost v64.
and at the end of installation pre reboot pick no.
And wattmans memory is fine now, has been a while.
It wasn't a clean install, though, so maybe that's why it didn't ask.
The best I can do is slide the control to manual and set the speed of the fans manually. That is not convenient for gaming/productivity to constantly tweaking the fans manual control.
I think Wattman is reading the fan RPM sensor as too high a value and so cannot adjust the fan speed. I wish I could provide a 'scaling' factor so that Wattman could properly control the fans.
my Wattman issue is voltage, HBM, and Core frequency on vega in wattman which have been issues on fury's and vega's since forever!
so not everything is perfect but hoping this dec. update works properly but I do not expect it :P
- "No, I'm fine, this is the best part of the game, keep going!"
Always wanted this kind of conversation with my hardware, what about CPU, we get that soon too?
No software company can make tuning software that works on every card since some AIB's, create/ add a feature, like 0rpm fans or on start fan reverse cleaning that uses different control hardware, be realistic ,its mostly supporting reference designs as others do, or their own designs in the case of asus gpu tool, msi Ab and the many others.
When Win10 is loaded and Adrenalin starts up, Wattman TAKES control of the video card fans in auto mode (by default). No other fan control software is installed at this point during this test.
Because Wattman does not understand the rpm sense from the video card it sets the fan speed to 0 (off).
I was lucky to discover this happening when my case door was open and the fans were NOT spinning. The card had gotten to 65 C and would have burned up.
If Wattman could not understand how to control an AIB video card fan, there should at least be a disable Wattman fan profile somewhere.
Now... "undervolt on".
Put as many gimmicks as you want in the bloated version.
Streaming to VR HMD? What the hell does it even mean? How about proper SteamVR feature support instead? Like Async Reprojection or Smooth Motion VR?
1 click OC sounds nice, I hope it supports more than just their latest GPUs.
Not impressed with the driver. I had loads of driver problems after 18.5.1 when i still had the FuryXor better yet, ditch the crappy GPU and go green!If the telemetry is bad I surely hope some backlash will follow. For some reason RTG is getting easy-pass way too often for some of the shit they pull. (Remember at the start of 2018 their first aderaline driver stopped supporting directX9 titles briefly and one of their tech support on the AMD forum as like: "so what? bite us")Yeah that is just RTG's way to help you upgrade to Vega.

If I only had a FuryX for AMD GPU then yeah I would be biased. However this is not just 1 GPU gen, but 15years of ATi/AMD GPU experience talking.
Back to topic.
GCN must die. David Wang and his team better work their ass off to get the new GPU design ready.
Oh and i respect your opinion but pushing your point so hard with proof you complained on here about your issues ,in this thread, i was here i don't recall doubting you then but the nature of your fury after many good years and a few bad is excessive imho.
