30 PCWorld JANUARY 2020NEWS AMD’S ADRENALIN 2020 EDITION UPDATE
Radeon Image Scaling works wonders,
but was limited to the subset of games
running on DirectX 9, DX12, and Vulkan APIs.
Adrenalin 2020 Edition folds in support for
the ultra-popular DX11, a.k.a. the API that
most games ship with. AMD’s also adding
per-game controls for RIS, moving away from
the global approach. You can toggle or
adjust it as wanted in-game as long as the
feature was enabled before you booted up
the game.
Radeon Anti-Lag, on the other hand, adds
DX9 support for pre-Radeon RX 5000-series
GPUs, as well as a new
global activation setting.The rest
