AMD Catalyst 15.7 driver offers VSR, FRTC, FreeSync support

[HEXUS]

Windows 10 support with DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 are other important additions.

FRTC up to 95fps, seems a bit stingy. Also DX10+ only?

FRTC up to 95fps

Excessive for a 60Hz monitor, too low for a 120/144Hz monitor- pretty odd number

Kam VedBrat, principal group program manager, Microsoft Corp enthusiastically welcomed the new driver release: "With full support for DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 in this latest AMD Catalyst driver for AMD APU and Radeon Graphics processors, customers can benefit from improved multithreaded scaling and CPU utilization; reduced GPU overhead; and ultimately richer, smoother, more compelling games," said VedBrat.

Microsoft really are in the mood for marketing lately......their statement makes it sound like there are things available that would benefit from DX12......

What are these quaint fixed-rate monitors you are referencing. It's all about FreeSync now

VSR ftw and FRTC Also

So my next question is how do I enable VSR? Can't see anything about it in CCC. FRTC is there and working.

I had a look on AMD's VSR page, nothing.

I'm guessing you have to override a game's AA setting in CCC and set it to Super Sampling, rather than Multi Sampling That said, I don't see anywhere that you can chose the virtual resolution, so it's probably not that.

No it's missing. There should be a button in the Digital Flat Panel properties, next to the 'Enable GPU up-scaling' button, called 'Enable virtual super resolution'. I don't have it despite my card being on the supported VSR list in the release notes

Virtual Super Resolution (VSR)

VSR provides image quality enhancements to games and Windows® desktop users by rendering images at a higher resolution and then down-scaling the same. VSR support has now been extended to the following products:
AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury Series AMD Radeon™ R9 280 Series
​AMD Radeon™ R9 390 Series AMD Radeon™ R9 270 Series
AMD Radeon™ R9 380 Series ​AMD Radeon™ R7 260 Series
AMD Radeon™ R7 370 Series ​AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 Series
​AMD Radeon™ R7 360 Series ​AMD Radeon™ HD 7800 Series
AMD Radeon™ R9 295X2 ​AMD Radeon™ HD 7790 Series
​​​AMD Radeon™ R9 290 Series Desktop A-Series 7400K APUs and above
