Radeon Image Sharpening on Vega graphics cards

RIS is a sharpening algorithm that enhances the details in games without affecting the performance. Visuals should appear crisper while delivering better contrast when it is switched on. It’s enabled by the Radeon Adrenalin desktop software (version 19.9.3), so game developers don’t really have to put in extra effort to support it in its games. All that's required is turning it on in the Adrenalin software. RIS is available on DirectX 12 and Vulkan game titles. While AMD had already announced support on the Radeon RX 470, RX 480, RX 570, RX 580, RX 590, and RX 5700 GPUs, it has now arrived on the Radeon VII, RX Vega 56, RX Vega 64, and Vega Frontier Edition graphics cards.

Ryzen and Radeon game bundles

If you’re looking to buy new graphics cards, AMD is offering two game bundles with its product lineups. Gamers buying the Ryzen 9 3000 series or Ryzen 7 3800X processors will receive Borderlands 3 and The Outer Worlds. Whereas if they buy the Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 2700X or Ryzen 7 2700, they can claim any one of the two titles.Anyone buying the Radeon RX 570, RX 580, RX 590 or the latest RX 5700 series graphics card will be eligible to receive a free copy of either Borderlands 3 or Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
