Changelog

New features

  • Performance improvements and optimizations for Arma 3 on 6th Generation Intel® Core processors or higher.
  • Power and performance benefits for DX12 games and applications using placed resources.

New changes

  • DirectML Metacommands – this driver release contains functional fixes and performance improvements while adding support for few features:
    • Improved GPU frequency ramp speed giving performance boost to Metacommand enabled workloads
    • Support for Softplus activation
    • Support for fused operations to improve performance.
    • Support for Pooling Metacommand – this operation now uses metacommands for both FP32 and FP16 datatypes and is common in many topologies like Squeezenet, Resnet, Inception etc.
  • Enables Indigo benchmark application to run.
  • Adds compiler API for DX11 and DX12 shaders to allow compiling shaders offline to analyze the ISA (native code) generated. This can run independently of the runtime driver and is expected to understand shader performance

Fix

  • Intermittent crashes or hangs may occur in Cinema4D, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm, vkQuake2
  • Minor graphics anomalies may be observed in Final Fantasy XV and Microsoft Edge browser.
