AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition: Streaming for Videos, Games, & VR
by Nate Oh on December 13, 2018 9:01 AM ESTMore Streaming: ReLive in Adrenalin 2019
Like the previous Adrenalin and Crimson ReLive overhauls, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 maintains the focus on streaming and capturing on ReLive, adding several useful improvements.
For one, ReLive now features an in-game instant replay functionality, where a 5-to-30 second clip is shown picture-in-picture upon pressing the requisite hotkey. While Instant Replay already exists, the in-game replay provides an easy method for streamers to showcase it for live viewers, or alternatively act as an impromptu deathcam without disrupting the flow of gameplay.
Alongside that feature is a new Instant GIF functionality, saving Instant Replays as GIFs, lining up with the new support for Gfycat and uploading instant GIFs to a connected Gfycat account. Otherwise, Adrenalin 2019 also brings account support for Streamable, Restream, and QuanminTV.
The other major addition to ReLive is a Scene Editor, enabled via ‘Advanced Mode’ in ReLive’s Scene tab. Multiple custom scenes and dynamic overlays can be created, with customization available for both in-stream and on-screen elements. These scenes can be subsequently activated/deactivated or hot-swapped via hotkeys or Radeon Overlay.
Elsewhere, ReLive now has multi-channel audio support, as well as support for recording/streaming at 16:9 900p, which is often utilized as a performance/bitrate/quality balance between 720p and 1080p.

I'd be really interested to see if AMDs game stream app can be sideloaded to an Nvidia Shield TV. If it works, I would absolutely be in the market for an AMD card.Pablok - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link
Exactly my thoughts.PhilipJ - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link
I have to admit that the auto-overclocking & auto-undervolting features being exclusive to the RX Vega lineup of cards is a bit disappointingThough now I can at least stream video games to my phone lol

You're not missing anything. You can only use undervolt OR overclock GPU OR overclock RAM, no combination of the three. They seem to be present profiles, not doing any real testing except to see if the profile works or crashes.Using undervolt, I had no change in voltage.
Using GPU overclock I got 1%.
Using RAM I got 890.
Manually I'm able to far outdo any of those, and wonder of wonders, do all three at the same time.
It's at best a placebo to make some people think they have driver parity with Nvidia. I am sorely disappointed, though I'll admit my expectations were colored by the lack of them saying anything and seeing what Nvidia is capable of doing automatically.

AMD's previously said that they won't support DirectX Raytracing until they can offer it "in all product ranges." That means I wouldn't expect it in any cards that are on sale today, and possibly not with the first-gen Navi-based cards (the low end of which is rumored to be like a Vega 56). Of course, if the market changes - if RTX becomes essential to a lot of games in the next 2 years, or if Nvidia pulls a rabbit out of its hat and releases a RTX-capable GPU with say, Vega 56-like performance for $200 next year, then I'd bet AMD will do an about face very fast.https://wccftech.com/amds-david-wang-we-wont-imple...

They actually did say that DirectX raytracing does not become mainstream until all product rages support it. There has been many not so well translated versions of that interview...But the head of AMD says the obvious that also low end products have to support raytracing until it will be popular...

Really disappointed that we're still not getting a solution for Ryzen Mobile.I bought a laptop with a 2500U in it and to say the driver situation is a mess would be the understatement of the century.
If really hoping they deliver on the promise of delivering more (or even manage a single) update through the OEMs or just deliver it themselves, because if not, they'll have lost a lot of fans on this.

I have a Ryzen 2700U notebook and I have to agree.Thankfully Lenovo is a little bit ahead of other OEM's though in releasing updates...

AMD can't force the OEM to update and the same goes for Nvidia. This is always a problem for laptops and completely depends on the vendor you buy from.Nothing AMD can do for each and every custom solution and it doesn't make sense for them to be doing other company's work.

Nvidia and Intel both provide reference drivers on their website. As far as I know those will work without relying on OEM specific drivers.AMD does the same as well for mobility Radeon products as well as pre-Ryzen APUs mobile or desktop. Only mobile Ryzen APUs starting with Raven Ridge do not have drivers.
I wonder if there is some intrinsic hardware difference/issue that prevents this for mobile Ryzen APUs?
