AMD Announces Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition

btarunr · Nov 30, 2017

AMD today announced the brand title of its 2017-yearender driver release, Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, which is named after the Adrenalin Rose. Scheduled to release some time in mid-December, under version number 17.12 WHQL, the drivers are expected to introduce performance enhancements across the board for GPUs based on the "Polaris" and "Vega" graphics architectures (Radeon RX 400 series, RX 500 series, and RX Vega series), while introducing new features.

AMD today posted a video presentation announcing the new drivers.

Wow, wasted 90 seconds of my life watching the video... seriously ..

natr0n · Nov 30, 2017

Like one of those excessively long bad youtube intro videos.

VSG · Nov 30, 2017

I recall making similar videos in middle school to accompany PowerPoint presentations when I had to kill time. Lots of hype here, and now we wait for the actual content to see if it's justified.

The video highlights the performance improvements, and new features.

I didn’t see anything of the sort...I’m with W1z that was a complete waste of time. Sadly my Fury will be left out of any improvements anyway as always...

Instead of paying some agency for that video they could have hired a student for a year to give some love to Fury owners...

I really don't give bananas if they don't support Fury X when is not too far away behind Vega 56.

Yeah it’s pretty sad, the fact is Fury is still the Flagship before Vega yet it’s been the most neglected flagship I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of ATI/AMD flagship cards in the last 20 years. I mean I’m still happy with it but it’s sad it’s been so forgotten. I mean we could have at least gotten a full featured Wattman like Polaris got....

Coming from W1zzard, the confirmation of Fury/X's death felt even worse.

@fullinfusion See? No more Fury/X support.

At least you didn't pay for some jacked up launch proce for a FuryX. I feel like the ultimate sucker for buying into their BS FuryX

I only waited as long as it took for custom cards and jumped right on. The bonus is I also have a Fury X on air and I didn’t even do that trick until maybe last year.

ironwolf · Nov 30, 2017

Does AMD know that Adrenalin is a trademarked name, according to Wikipedia? (yeah it's also the alternative spelling of adrenaline)

Also, yeah it's early, anyone possibly with more info know what the lowest GPU this will support?

RejZoR · Nov 30, 2017

Polaris and Vega. So, everything from RX4xx upwards.

Readlight · Nov 30, 2017

Whit fresh custom windows 7 + Linux Zorin OS it would be awesome. I can spend 10 euros for good operating system.

T4C Fantasy · Nov 30, 2017

i have a 1070 and 1080 ti, why am i in love with the idea of Vega getting full potential unlocked

Fluffmeister · Nov 30, 2017

PowerPoint slide overload incoming!

dozenfury · Nov 30, 2017

AMD learned long ago that marketing is a lot cheaper than R&D...

dj-electric · Nov 30, 2017

Negative PR is negative, and the shitshow at RTG continues onwards

Wonder if they finally fixed the Overwatch bug that hasn't been fixed since 17.7.

Never had that bug myself and I've been playing on and off since Overwatch release with monthly driver updates. Moira David Bowe skin still eludes me

Dude, sell the card already, buy a 920 for the time being, complaining and not providing a solution gets you nowhere.

Because it's FUN! Just like when Phenom 2 X2 555BE would unlock fully into 965/B55s with multiplier/fsb unlocked!

Dude I am broke. New GPU is my last priority as of now. Still owe weekly payments to my daughter's day care.
