AMD has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.9.1 driver offers optimal performance in Gears 5.
Going into more details, this new driver increases performance by up to 8% under the DirectX 12 API. Moreover, it brings additional support to the Vulkan API by supporting some new extensions.
Lastly, this driver fixes the system hang issues on the Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products system configurations that were due to RGB Fusion 2.0.
You can download this new driver from here, and you can find its complete changelog below.
AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.9.1 Driver Release Notes
Support For
- Gears 5™
- Up to 8% performance improvement in Gears of War 5 running DirectX® 12 on Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition version 19.9.1 vs. 19.8.2.RS-310
Added Vulkan™ Support
- VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory
- This extension adds device coherent and device uncached memory types. Device coherent and uncached memory are expected to have lower performance for general access than non-device coherent memory but can be useful in certain scenarios particularly so for debugging.
- VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps
- This extension provides an interface to query calibrated timestamps obtained quasi simultaneously from two time domains such as host and device time domains.
- VK_EXT_line_rasterization
- This extension adds some line rasterization features that are commonly used in CAD applications and that are supported in other APIs like OpenGL. These features include Bresenham-style line rasterization, smooth rectangular lines (coverage to alpha) and stippled lines for all three line rasterization modes.
- VK_EXT_shader_demote_to_helper_invocation
- This extension adds Vulkan support for the SPV_EXT_demote_to_helper_invocation SPIR-V extension. The SPIR-V extension provides a new instruction that allows shaders to “demote” a fragment shader invocation to behave like a helper invocation for its duration. The demoted invocation will have no further side effects and will not output to the framebuffer but remains active and can participate in computing derivatives and in subgroup operations. This is a better match for the “discard” instruction in HLSL.
Fixed Issues
- Launching RGB Fusion 2.0 may cause a system hang on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products system configurations.
Known Issues
- Gears 5 may experience an application hang on loading screen with APU only (Ryzen) based desktop system configurations.
- HDMI® overscan and underscan options may be missing from Radeon Settings on AMD Radeon VII system configurations when the primary display is set to 60hz.
- Stutter may be experienced when Radeon FreeSync is enabled on 240hz refresh displays with Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
- Radeon Performance Metrics may report incorrect VRAM utilization.
- AMD Radeon VII may experience elevated memory clocks at idle or on desktop.
- Radeon Overlay may intermittently fail to appear when toggled in game.
- Audio for clips captured by Radeon ReLive may be corrupted or garbled when desktop recording is enabled.
- Enabling Enhanced Sync may cause game, application or system crashes on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
Footnotes
- RS-310 – Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of August 30th, 2019 on Gears of War 5 (DirectX® 12 at Ultra Presets) at 4K resolution, measured on the Radeon™ RX 5700 XT running Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.8.2 and 19.9.1 drivers. Results on 19.9.1 showed up to 8% performance gain over the previous driver. Performance may vary based on resolution and settings.

Surprised Nvidia hasn’t released theirs yet.

This game has trans flags in it.
yeah dude, I just saw the news and i was actually gonna eventually get the steam version cause i hear it has cross-play with xbox; so i could ressurect the good ole Gears Trilogy days with my xbox buddy. But FUQ THAT SCHITT BRO. I just saw the news and I pass.
Imagine being such a transphobic loser. Don’t worry I’m gonna buy a second copy for your lost sale. I’ll gift it to one of my trans friends.
Yeah, please do. Fall for their pandering by filling their pockets and seperating yourself from your hard earned cash. Go ahead have fun being manipulated.
Transphobia is a made up word with no empirical proof. It’s to bully people with something they BELIEVE is clinical and backed by hard science. You are the bullies and xx and xy will always be different. Suicide rates of trans people will always be high because anyone who wants to change their “gender” simply hates themselves and mutilating their body won’t fix that. Helping them believe the lie just encourages harmful behavior and is the opposite of “love”. There is a reason transgender brainwashing organizations are backed by people like George Soros. This is to create easily controlled people that people like him can exploit. Same reason men are being replaced by women in games and movies to destroy the family unit and to remove the fathers influence. Women are easily controlled through what they believe to be social norms (see talk shows). We are now being fed pseudoscience about “toxic masculinity” because men actually stand up for themselves. The trans movement is all about control and it was never about tolerance. It’s about exploiting the mentally ill and not caring how many off themselves.
Antisemite BS. Another copy bought for a jewish friend.
Funny you should say that when ALL of Don’s kids are married to Jews. Just like Bill’s. Both had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Imagine thinking that a puppet whose disgusting vices are exploited to control him, is against AIPAC when old Don puts Israel above the US on every decision. Let me know when a presidential candidate stops giving billions to “our allies and closes friends ” who attack our own ships (USS Liberty) and starts giving money to help out our inner cities.
Dude it’s not our fault that we aren’t a natural Cuck like you. Some of us have to learn how to be one, please give us time.
“so i could ressurect the good ole Gears Trilogy ”
You need to see some cut scenes and gameplay this aint like the old games.
Oh i know it’s nothing like the trilogy, but was just gonna get it to hang with my old xbox buddy cause he ain’t on PC and probably will never be. But screw that man, i’m not into any of this Rubbish they are pushing. I played gears 4 and it’s so empty, these games ain’t the same anymore. They are an empty husk. It seems Remnant From The Ashes would be a better gears of war game than gears 5. Think i’m gonna put my money towards there. Because I have no idea what someone sexuality have to do with a video game. The sad part is, the people they are pandering to, are too dumb to realize that they are being used.
hey at least you can teabag 72 gender nutjobs in mp.
Thanks for the heads up, I just bought a copy.
Dude you are a straight faced idiot. All you do is spend YOUR time commenting on how accepting YOU Are and that the world is gonna be mixed someday. You’re a traitor/disgrace to the white race. I wonder if you’ll let me fuq your wife RAW Cause I’m Black. You’re just begging for someone to fulfill your Super Cuck Lord Fantasy.
Pretty sad, you’re black and fueling these Nazí losers that would kill u without hesitating if they could.
You’ve been brainwashed, they’re not ur friends.
press x to doubt
