customisable install options (full, minimal, driver only).

An update finally worth getting. I know what I'm doing on my lunch break!

Indeed, I've tried so hard to keep my machine free of bloat (almost impossible with a million launchers) and then the GPU drivers include stuff I don't need or want. Having features included in every install which are of use to niche audiences (eg streaming) is just frustrating.

Dunno what the hell happened to my computer, but i can not longer output H.264 or 265 files from my powerdirector17 without everything are speed up and laggy.
But if i use software encoding everything works fine.
I can also hardware encode and export in other formats.

Deleting windows updates and trying new drivers for the 5700XT have not worked for me, even tried to reinstall powerdirector 17

O and other software ( pinnacle studio ultimate ) it can hardware encode just fine and export H.264 or 265

Have you tried driver cleaner to remove all traces of the drivers and then reinstall an old driver?

Most important new feature, optional removal of new features.

I'm a little hesitant to post this as i don't want to be responsible for someone hosing their system, but i came across Radeon Software Slimmer yesterday if you wanted to go further than what AMD allow, seems to be developed by someone from Guru3D forums.

I've only had limited time with it and the built in help/linking to the github wiki saved a bit of guesswork, maybe you'll be interested in it but please don't blame me if something breaks.

I've tried it and my PC is broken. I demand a new one. To replace my hardware (as it is all bricked, including the mouse mat) I require at least £3,000,000,001.69.
