As has become tradition, AMD is yet again on the cusp of launching its next big driver package as a holiday gift to all of its Radeon fans. Adrenalin 2019 Edition is the fifth consecutive installment in AMD's big yearly GPU driver package releases since it all began back in 2014 with the Omega driver package.

The new update is set to launch only two days from now, on the 13th of December according to prolific leaker videocardz.com. Who has also incidentally shared what the new driver is expected to bring to the table in terms of new features, performance enhancements and general improvements in great detail.

These include new features and improvements related to performance, Radeon Wattman functionality, AMD Relive, AMD Link, Radeon Overlay and a new set of "Advisor" features that help gamers tweak and fine-tune graphics settings to improve performance.

Whilst this driver release isn't primarily a performance boosting release as some of the previous ones have been, there's still a minor performance improvement that's expected, especially on the latest set of gaming titles.

According to AMD's own material, the company is claiming an average performance improvement of up to 15% for the Radeon RX 570 in a specific set of games.

Videocardz also mentions that the new release brings improvements to Radeon Chill or ResX, although no specifics were shared.

There are over 25 new features and/or improvements incoming and they're detailed below as per videocardz.
