AMD’s latest drivers (22.7.1) deserve your full attention: not only do they drastically improve performance under OpenGL, but they will also improve the quality of your voice exchanges thanks to a new active noise reduction system.
You are surely already familiar with the RTX Voice feature, introduced by NVIDIA in 2020. Well, with a little delay, AMD now has the same thing in its pocket. With its new drivers (22.7.1), the brand is indeed deploying its own active noise reduction solution… in addition to a big boost in OpenGL performance.
AMD takes over the RTX Voice concept
By relying on an AI for recognizing background noise and identifying voices, active noise cancellation aims, like RTX Voice, to significantly improve the quality of your voice exchanges on PC.
” AMD’s noise canceling feature reduces background noise from your surroundings, providing greater clarity and focus whether you’re focused on an important meeting or a competitive game “Explains AMD in a press release.
” Using a real-time deep learning algorithm to reduce audio noise floor, this novelty works for both your input and output devices, on any AMD-powered system. It removes unwanted background noise picked up on your microphone or someone else’s device “.
Note, however, that if AMD plans to make its noise cancellation work on a wide variety of software and games, it reserves (and this is quite logical) the group’s recent graphics cards. In this case, only the Radeon RX 5000, and more recent versions are therefore concerned.
And gives a big boost to OpenGL
In addition to active noise reduction, the latest AMD drivers also bring a significant performance improvement to games using OpenGL, such as Minecraft. It is on this title that AMD focuses its communication, because the performance gain is in some cases major. Coupled with a Radeon RX 6800 XT, the latest AMD drivers can indeed offer up to 92% more images per second, promises the brand. Of course, this increase in performance can be observed, to a lesser extent, on other games.
We also learn that AMD has given a new polish to its Radeon Super Resolution technology, which now operates on the mobile Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000, intended for portable PCs. The firm has also extended support for its Radeon Boost VRS to new titles, including VALORANT, Elden Ring and Resident Evil Village.
