New Radeon Drivers and Project ReSX

AMD is kicking out a new driver as of late yesterday, you can grab those here. AMD is noting PUBG increases at 1080p with Ultra IQ settings up to 11% on RX580, so these are likely worth checking out if you have a Radeon card in your system. Every frame counts when it comes to PUBG.



AMD is also kicking off Project ReSX, this is what AMD has to say about that (full PDF shared out here):

Introducing Project ReSX – In recent months, we kicked off a special project inside of the Radeon Software group known as Project ReSX (Radeon eSports Experience). The goal of this project was to optimize the performance of some of the most popular PC games in the world on Radeon GPUs, to ensure the best possible eSports experience for Radeon owners.
We approached this problem from multiple angles. We worked with game developers to suggest internal optimizations for their games, including sending engineers to work on site with the game development houses. Meanwhile, we built optimizations into our drivers to improve performance, as well.
Radeon Software 18.3.1 incorporates a host of changes made possible by Project ReSX. All told, it delivers some notable performance improvements over Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, released late last year. Although we encourage you to test for yourself, here’s a quick look at the improvements in our upcoming software release made possible by Project ReSX.

AMD does go on to say that overall frames per second are not what Project ReSX is all about, but that AMD is also very much attentive to the 99th percentile frame time….which is that quick moment when your frames fall to zip and screw you out of that headshot when you likely most need it.

Project ReSX isn’t just about higher benchmark scores, though. Our aim is to improve the experience for Radeon GPU owners by ensuring smooth, consistent gameplay. To see how we’re doing there, we looked at the 99th-percentile frame time-sometimes known as the 1% low FPS-to get a sense of how we handle the most difficult frames to render quickly.
