Phoronix: Radeon Overlay Is Similar To A Feature Mesa Offered For Years

With yesterday's release of the Radeon Software Adrenalin driver for Windows, it actually picks up a feature that is roughly similar to something the open-source Radeon driver stack - and all of the Mesa's Gallium3D drivers for that matter - have offered for years...

Wasn't this feature available in the last version of Crimson?

One thing that is new about Adrenalin is it the phone app it comes with so you can get your live graph data using that instead. I like that since it offloads all the rendering to another screen and processor, but what I really want is something compatible across multiple OSes.

There was an OSD to control ReLive video recording/streaming, but there were no performance metrics or control over features such as Freesync.

On Windows, MSI Afterburner/RTSS can draw a realtime frametime graph as OSD so you can easily see if there is stuttering going on. You can also record that with capture software which is light on the GPU (ReLive/GeForce Experience), so you can actually show how well (or badly) a game performs on your very own system.

Ah, yeah that might be what I confused.

..they plan to bring Radeon Overlay to their proprietary Linux driver components

Again AMDGPU-PRO ?
Another way you can implement?

it certainly will be interesting to see if all the endpoints that the settings apps (including ryzen master) can be done so we can overclock to our hearts content inside our OS of choice!

Quality of Life features FTW!
