    Is this any good? Daniel Owen tiptoed around saying it’s basically a useless tech demo and that was with antilag+ which has now been removed after getting people banned. He said the framerates inconsistency and juddering from turning on and off made it pretty useless.

      Spiky frame rate I think it’s actually worse than a consistent low frame rate. I’d rather be stuck at 40fps constantly than go from 35 to 70 back and forth every few seconds.

      Your mind adjusts to 40 and it becomes usable. Constant fluctuations are a mess.

        Yeah that’s what I thought too. There’s a serious core issue with constant massive shifts in framerate. On top of the frame time inconsistency we have artifacting and increased input lag.

        Until AMD gets it to not constantly turn off and on I think it’s largely a tech demo. I’m sure there’s some extreme niche uses but I think the overall value here is pretty low and it’s not really compelling as a consumer.

      Frametime consistency was fixed with the last driver already.

      None of the better YT GPU reviewers seem to have looked at that improved release though, so nobody’s really judged it properly.

        Maybe improved, but is it really fixed? I tried this at A Plague Tale Requiem and it doesn’t feel very fluid with a base frame rate of 70-80.
