Right now, only Steam VR games are compatible with the service (up to resolutions of 1440x1440), but that's still a mighty tempting proposition if you don't have the cash (or the space) for full blown Rift or Vive headset and are sick to death of all the naff mobile experiences on offer with the current crop of standalone ones. Adrenalin 2019 Edition also introduces game streaming to standalone VR headsets as well such as the Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream, Vive Focus and Oculus Go. At the moment, you can only set a fixed options for resolution, frame rate and bit rate, but at least there's a built-in stream test option to help you get the right combination of settings.ĪMD aren't stopping at streaming to just phones and tablets, either. There's currently no dynamic resolution feature to help maintain the stream quality if your connection suddenly goes a bit wobbly, for instance, but it's something AMD told me they're planning on adding in at a later date. Sure, you're probably not going to use it for fast-paced competitive games, but for slower, more considered games like Assassin's Creed (not to mention convenience's sake), there's definitely a lot of potential here.ĪMD are aware there's room for improvement, too. Testing it at home with a preview build of the app, any blips in quality were few and far between, and the stream only took a second or two to recover when they did eventually rear their pixelated heads. Indeed, there were a few moments where the entire experience fell apart, the screen disintegrating into a blocky, juddering mess, but I can probably blame that on the preview venue's dodgy Wi-Fi. I'd be lying if I said it was completely perfect, though.

This was captured on my own phone streaming at 720p at 10Mbps, so click to enlarge to have a look at the finer detail.

Yes, the onscreen controls are heinous, but thankfully you can get rid of them completely and use an external Bluetooth controller instead. You're not limited to streaming games, either, as it essentially streams your entire desktop, letting you watch videos (also up to 4K resolutions) or listen to music while you're in a different room or cosied up under your duvet, for instance. It was a bit of a faff getting the latter connected in all honesty, but after a bit of menu prodding I was able to ditch the onscreen controls altogether and kick back with an Xbox One controller.

You can turn your PC monitor off while you're streaming, too, and you can use either onscreen controls or connect your own Bluetooth controller. That's based on AMD's own median latency testing score of 70ms from click to response, compared to Steam Link's median latency of 125ms. Indeed, AMD claim their streaming tech is 44% faster when it comes to responsiveness than Steam Link. There wasn't even a hint of delay as I sliced up the local wildlife, and everything felt as smooth as playing it on a regular PC. You'll still need one of AMD's best graphics cards tucked away in your PC in order to use the service, but with support for resolutions up to 4K and 60fps, I was pleasantly surprised when I was shown a demo of sprawling stab 'em-up Assassin's Creed Odyssey being streamed to a phone encased in a Bluetooth controller grip from a PC across the room. The basic principle isn't any different from what you can already do via Valve's Steam Link app, but as someone who's always looking for more ways to spend a larger amount of time playing games in my living room with my husband and fellow RPS video bud Matthew as opposed to my cold, cold office where my gaming PC lives, this is welcome news indeed.

Let's face it, news about graphics card software updates is infinitely less sexy than news about proper, new graphics cards, but AMD's latest Adrenalin 2019 Edition package has a string of neat-ish features that current AMD GPU owners may want to take note of, such as free, in-home streaming to your phone or tablet, an easier to parse set of menu options and even more tools to help you get the best out of your RX or Vega GPU.Īvailable today (Adrenalin 18.12.1, if you want the exact version number), arguably the most exciting feature is the addition of in-home streaming to AMD's Radeon ReLive, letting you play your entire library of games on any Android 5.0 / iOS 10+ device via the AMD Link app.
