AMD gave a boost to the Radeon RX Vega 56 and 64 graphics cards, as well as the beefy Radeon VII, with the release of its latest graphics driver that brings Radeon Image Sharpening support for these GPUs.
Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.9.3 Edition version 2019, version 19.9.3, brings sharpness to these graphics cards, and the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, when playing games with DirectX 12 or Vulkan.
This feature is described as a contrast-based adaptive sharpening algorithm that provides sharper and more detailed images, with a minimal success rate (AMD cites drops of about 1% to 2% only with some popular games using Radeon Image Sharpening with RX 5700 XT).
Image sharpness was introduced on the RX 5700 GPUs in July, and more recently on the Radeon RX 470 and RX 480 graphics cards, as well as the RX 570, RX 580 and RX 590 models.
Driver version 19.9.3 also provides support for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon breakpoint, just in time for its release later this week (October 4).
Note that AMD is offering this game for free, as well as Borderlands 3 and The Outer Worlds, all as part of new bundles with XNUMXrd Gen Ryzen processors or some Radeon graphics cards.
Dark corruption
A few bugs have also been fixed in this version of the controller, including an issue with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which witnessed nasty incidents of texture corruption later in the game.
Also, those who used Radeon RX 5700 Navi GPUs had issues with Discord when hardware acceleration was enabled, but this issue was resolved.
There are still some known issues, including corruption and artifacts on some 75Hz monitors, still with RX 5700 products. For a full list of issues, see AMD's release notes for the new driver here.
