This week AMD has released the first quarterly Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Edition driver drop of the year, aptly numbered 18.Q1 WHQL. Coming on the heels of December's major driver update on the consumer side, this is the first enterprise package based on Adrenalin Edition Pro drivers. As such, 18.Q1 incorporates new Adrenalin Pro ReLive enhancements, Pro Overlay, Pro-oriented Connect Tab, and ProRender plugin updates. Likewise, as the first post-Windows 10 Fall Creators Update enterprise driver, 18.Q1 is intended for Fall Creators Update and formally supports Mixed Reality. Rounding out this quarterly release are performance optimizations for professional applications, VDI & graphics virtualization updates, and a number of bug fixes.

 

With this new Edition comes some cool new features exclusive to Radeon Pro users such as Radeon(TM) Pro ReLive,

Touching on the highlights of Adrenalin Pro features, AMD referred to new Pro ReLive features like borderless region capture, microphone track separation, and chroma key background transparency, as well as Radeon Pro Overlay for Pro ReLive.

 

And that's not all that's changed. AMD are citing Up To 47% faster performance year over year compared to Radeon Pro Software Enterprise 17.Q1

So yeah, cool. I have to wonder if Radeon Pro based Macs will get something like this in the future. It would be cool to see borderless capture region added to Radeon ReLive (non pro).

 

1 Software update per Quarter actually doesn't sound like much at all. Well, if it helps AMD's bottom line then I can't fault them . Cos Professionals and Enterprise make a lot more profit per GPU than Consumers.

I think most enterprise customers would be annoyed by frequent updates. I also think that many probably don't update quarterly anyway.

As a CAD guy this......

 

Doesnt really affect me because Inventor doesn't utilize GPU power a whole lot BUT STILL. Cool for anyone running 3DS MAX
