No, they follow the same format as Nvidia with usually 2-3 per month.

They used to not. Just a year or two ago it was different.

Only amd gpu I have is an APU now. Didn't think this changed.

Very interesting.

The narrative online doesn't seem to match, per PCPer. It's something they always talk about.

But believe you, thanks.

Almost exactly one year ago, AMD released its Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 2019 driver update, and today the 2020 version has landed. This now-annual update comes with notable performance increases as well as new features. Since 2015, AMD says the company has averaged 16 new or enhanced features, a 12% average performance improvement, as well as an increase in stability year over year. This year we’ll see 20 new or enhanced features as well as a 12% average performance increase across a baker’s dozen worth of games.




Integer Scaling and Radeon Boost available all the way back to Tahiti/Pitcairn 2013 cards.

nVidia doesn't do 2-3 times a month.

It all depends. Games, tech, windows updates, etc

Most driver updates aren't much more than bringing in a line of gpus and don't affect all lines or even games.

Yeah, most of those monthly types are for new games releasing so they're often times just GameReady drivers.

Yeah the Nvidia GameReady drivers as they call it. Don't think AMD calls it anything specific. Both are the same though.

That's what Intel said too while keeping their head in the sand.

We can't have pools.

Water table is too high. Tons of issues. It sucks.



Where I grew up the water table was 6-8". It was literally the swamp.

Now it's around 1'.

The thing is I grew up with AMD CPUs dominating.

Intel really only came back with Sandy.

They also held back the industry a few years. I'm just as pissed at them as I am with AMD's bulldozer failure.

Edt: nVidia isn't stopping forward progression, as much.

Edt2: Well Intel kind had something with Core2Duos. Just AMD multicores usually outperformed.

Correct, it's moreso the pricing structure that will need adjustments similar to Intel as AMD begins to pump its profits into other areas of the company.

2020 should be another massive year for AMD, Intel has nothing and the GPU division has big Navi + the 2 new consoles.

Debatable. The Supers were overpriced all the way through the lineup.

Although I will say that was just a great job by AMD leaking their pricing and letting Nvidia set theirs then undercutting the next day. Well executed.

I never talk price.

Always just performance.

Price/performance is a separate debate.

AMD usually kills it there, as we all know. But not always.

Edt: they really need to challenge the top end. Bring that pricing down. idk if it happens anytime soon.

That's true, you've always been the spend whatever amount on the highest end.
