Why haven't I been using RadeonPro all along?

post #1 of 83
Thread Starter 
Well, Toms hardware (I know, eww) recently did an article comparing GTX690 to some of these new dual tahiti cards. They tested microstutter and as we all know the 690 came off looking really well. They also tested with Radeonpro's dynamic framerate control and it really smoothed out frametimes.

I decided to try it out. Stalker Clear Sky has some of the most horrendous microstutter that I've ever seen. Its kept me from playing the game its so bad. I set a cap to 59fps with Radeonpro and now its smooth as silk.

I also noticed a couple of other features that I haven't seen anyone mention here surprisingly. First of all is an option called Dynamic Vsync. Does this description sound familiar?
Quote:
Dynamic Vsync Control (DVC) support. This feature controls how vertical synchronization is applied at rendering time, automatically turning it off when frame rate is below monitor's refresh rate to reduce stuttering and turning it on when framerate is above or equal to monitor's refresh rate, improving smoothness.

There is also an option to force SMAA and FXAA. I can't wait to try this in a couple of the games that the SMAA injector wouldn't work in.

There is also a full osd that sounds like it might be on par with Afterburner's.

There is also all of the great profile editing options, of course.

You can pick up the latest build from here. Apparently japamd plans on releasing a new build in a few days.

I can't believe that more people don't talk about this tool. It seems like a must have. AMD really needs to put this guy on staff.

agreed. AMD get this tech in your drivers asap. thumb.gif

Hello, the preview have been updated last night but the link was down, it's fixed by now. To download it, here's the link:
http://www.radeonpro.info/Download/RadeonPro_Preview.exe

The new build features support for FXAA on OpenGL, movie capture and SweetFX integration for D3D games running in both 32 and 64-bit.

Updates
xx/xx/2012 - New build 1.1.1.0

- New: Added support for 64-bit applications
- New: Improved hardware detection
- New: Improved Windows 8 compatibility
- New: Movie capture feature with real-time Motion JPEG compression (DirectX 9/10/10.1/11) and OpenDML (AVI 2.0) support
- New: FXAA support (DirectX 9/10/10.1/11 and OpenGL)
- New: FXAA can be activated/deactivated during the game (configure the hotkey on RadeonPro's Settings screen)
- New: SMAA support (DirectX 9/10/10.1/11)
- New: SMAA can be activated/deactivated during the game (configure the hotkey on RadeonPro's Settings screen)
- New: Dynamic Vsync Control (DVC) support. This feature controls how vertical synchronization is applied at rendering time, automatically turning it off when frame rate is below monitor's refresh rate to reduce stuttering and turning it on when framerate is above or equal to monitor's refresh rate, improving smoothness.
- New: DVC can be activated/deactivated during the game with SHIFT+HOME key
- New: Dynamic Framerate Control (DFC) support. This feature acts like a frame rate limiter with smoothness control, just set a frame rate target and RadeonPro will try to keep it as close as possible while maintaining frame rendering times close to each other to avoid stuttering.
- New: DFC can be activated/deactivated during the game with SHIFT+END key
- New: DFC feature's frame rate target is adjustable in real time, press SHIFT+INSERT to increase the limit and SHIFT+DELETE to decrease it
- New: Lock frame rate up to monitor's refresh rate. This feature limits internal frame rendering times accordingly to refresh rate (i.e. 60 Hz = 16.67 ms) instead of waiting vertical retrace.
- New: On-Screen Display panel, showing current status of some RadeonPro features on top of game screen. Press PAGEDOWN key to toggle between full panel/reduced panel/hidden.
- New: OSD panel can be made visible since game start either globally or at profile level, just configure it on OSD tab
- New: OSD panel versions can be disabled either globally or at profile level, just configure it on OSD tab
- New: Real time GPU monitoring with On-Screen Display support. GPU monitoring displays your video cards temperatures, utilization, FAN speed and VRAM utilization
- New: Current date/time/FPS and actual playing time can be displayed at OSD
- New: Better keyboard handling (i.e. fixes some games that don't allow OSD control or change of FPS corner)
- New: Improved hook handling with better Steam overlay compatibility
- New: OverDrive controls allow basic overclocking, manual cooler fan speed and PowerTune adjustments (available only at profile level)
- New: Added option to display new CrossfireX logo on OSD when a CrossfireX capable system is detected
- New: Added proper support for Direct3D9Ex games (i.e. Blades of Time, Fallout New Vegas, World of Tanks etc.)
- New: Improved OpenGL support and bug fixes
- New: Built-in SweetFX integration, allowing global and per game SweetFX effect shaders configuration. SweetFX can be used on any DirectX 9/10/10.1/11 games running on 32-bit or 64-bit. Configure SweetFX at RadeonPro settings and remove all 3rd party injector's DLLs from game directories if you want to use RadeonPro's SweetFX integration.
- Fixed: Some games that used to hang at startup when API monitoring was active are now playable (i.e. STALKER Call of Pripyat)
- Fixed: screenshots now works in DirectX 10/11 with R10G10B10A2/B8G8R8A8 formats used by some games (Dirt 3/Showdown, F3AR). Performance is not so good as in other games, but it will be optimized soon.
- Changed: German translation update (thanks to Lennart Brüggemann)
- Changed: improved OSD rendering performance on DirectX 10/11 games
- Removed: SVG file creation at benchmark finish
- Removed: CrossfireX bar; to monitor GPU utilization, use OSD options instead
- Removed: alternate AMD Radeon logo
- Removed: skins (all). They will be replaced by new Web skins feature. Anyone with HTML and Javascript skills will be able to create skins for RadeonPro.
- Removed: Aggressive API detection (useless with new hook handler)
- Known issues:
-- Vsync is a bit broken in DirectX 9 for 64-bit apps
-- DFC/DVC may not work as expected in OpenGL apps
-- Movie's audio may go out of sync when target framerate is too high compared to sustained framerate

Great to hear AMD have a red version of Nvidia Inspector, i couldnt do without all them options and settings, most of my games now have profiles and are tweaked to improve visuals.

Wish i knew this back when i had CF5870 redface.gif

Been abusing RadeonPro for ages!
post #8 of 83
ditto, been using it for years....

i would not buy an AMD card if radeon pro stopped working...

We continue to support this dev with hardware, software and code. smile.gif

For myself, I use it all the time, but I can't seem to get DVC working. I hit shift+home to toggle it, and the "DVC" icon on the OSD briefly flips green and nothing happens. At no point during gameplay does the "vsync" indicator go from red to green, either.

The "tpb" indicator is green, though. Is that "triple buffering?"

//EDIT: Noob mistake. Had the game in windowed fullscreen and didn't realize it. DERP.
