The radeon boost thing seems like a meme, but im happy they brought RIS to DX11 given the way its setup in driver to either be fully on or off rather then per-game, and there is a fair share of modern games on both DX11 or DX12, so bringing it to DX11 simplifies things so if one is hoping to use it easily without researching API of every game they own they can, as its only worth it and looks right (linus is a dumby) if you set resolution 1 step lower ingame (1080p to 900p, 1440 to 1080p, 4k to 1440).

is that radeon boost going to work like the "game booster" that razer made for synapse that just closed one two background applications and pretended it increased your fps because of magic.

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Given its one of a bunch of potential options i don't mind it, but honestly frame-times>spikes in FPS when mouse is moved

it might be a good feature for people running 4k resolution on out-dated CPU with 5700/5700xt etc that frequently stutter when one moves point of view, but i wouldn't recommend it for anybody on a modern CPU, especially if at more reasonable resolution for gaming.

Basically it will reduce internal render resolution when it detect fast movement. Only on supported games.

problem with this driver...4k res at 60htz...no 444 at all, rgb or ycbcr , only ycbcr 422.....no hdr...only choice period no matter 30 htz or 422 no choice for 10 or 12bit color either
tried 59 htz still no go...only at 30htz will 444 show up....it was fine all other earlier drivers
they really borked 4k
 
update yea this driver is broken. cant do full screen in games (something causes it to lock up till you hit windows key then it will unfreeze but lock again in a couple seconds)
also it wont play in 1080 res just 4k that is set in windows settings
its all about a broken 4k res in different scenarios

Is this broken in bf5 for anyone else?  I can play for about a minute and then the game crashes and the monitor just shows black until I power cycle it.

Update, found that running the bf5 in borderless mode keeps it from crashing but my frame rates are 10-15fps lower.
