AMD Catalyst 14.2 beta

· Krešimir Matanović

Catalyst 14.2AMD danas predstavlja Catalyst 14.2 Beta upravljačke programe sa sljedećim značajkama:

  • Launch driver za igru THIEF

Thief 1 Thief 2

Thief 3 Thief 4

o   Igra THIEF danas (25.2) izlazi na tržište, a riječ je u eksluzivnom partneru u AMD Gaming Evolved programu. Naslov je posebno optimiziran za AMD proizvode (i desktop i mobilne i konzole), a odmah po izlasku igrači će imati podršku za 4K gaming, AMD Eyefinity i CrossFire tehnologije te dobre DirectX 11 performanse. Uz to gameri će uživati u:

§  Compute shader-accelerated depth of field for realistic focal lengths

§  Silhouette-enhancing tessellation to improve character geometry

§  Complex shadowing systems to support THIEF’s dependence on shadows as a core gameplay mechanic. This is a great example of rendering technology supporting an integral element of the game! A notable percentage of the game’s rendering budget has been spent on the novel shadowing algorithms.

§  SSAA for buttery smooth edges.

  •  THIEF će naknadno (početkom ožujka) biti “zakrpan” i donijeti podršku za Mantle i TrueAudio.
  • Poboljšanja za Mantle sa Catalyst 14.2 Beta su:

o   Hangs and stuttering resolved for the Mantle codepath in Battlefield 4™; users are now encouraged to try mGPU

o   Multi-GPU frame pacing in Battlefield 3™ and Battlefield 4™ is now enabled for non-XDMA configurations running resolutions >1600p.

o   We fixed Minecraft! Sorry about that, builders.

·       Intermittent hangs and crashes should be resolved in 3D applications
