"AMD Introduces ROI Video Encoder Support for Linux GPU Drivers"

AMD has added region of interest (ROI) encoding functionality to their open-source Mesa code for Linux, specifically for Video Core Next (VCN) enabled Radeon graphics hardware. This feature allows users to specify areas of the video frame that are higher or lower priority, enabling the video encoder hardware to focus its bit usage for optimal results. The ROI video encode feature is useful for applications like AR/VR and mapping persistent text to specific regions of the frame. The code is available in Mesa Git for the upcoming Mesa 24.0 feature release in Q1, along with improvements to the RadeonSI Gallium3D and RADV Vulkan drivers.

"AMD's beta GPU driver enables HAGS support for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on Radeon RX 7000 series"

AMD has released a beta graphics driver optimized for the upcoming game "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora," enabling Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) support on Radeon 5000/6000/7000 GPUs. HAGS is a feature that improves GPU responsiveness and workload management. While synthetic tests show no significant performance improvements, this driver marks the first consumer release with HAGS support for Radeon RX gaming series. However, HAGS is not supported on Radeon RX 6000 series, as AMD confirmed it does not provide expected performance gains for RDNA2 GPUs. Users now have multiple driver versions to choose from, and AMD is yet to re-enable Anti-Lag+ support.
