All available data suggests this capability should be present, yet it remains absent. Checking the registry for activation options revealed the setting was completely missing. Changing it and restarting didn’t make a difference. Avoid any comments like "it shouldn't be enabled because it won't help"—those aren't relevant. There are reports indicating it might boost stability in specific games where I'm experiencing issues, so I'm curious if this could resolve them.

Yes, it is a WDDM 2.7 driver. As I already said, everything everywhere says I should have this option, except Windows. (the driver has supported this feature since the 20.5.1 beta) And now GPU-Z says that the Hardware GPU Scheduling feature is "Off (not supported)" for some reason. I can find no information anywhere as to why that is.

05-24-2016, 08:35 PM #4You discovered some details after reviewing many articles about the feature. It looks like AMD only activated it in the 20.5.1 beta driver, and no other drivers support it yet. It’s frustrating to find the missing information in every guide but not in one. Now you have to tackle this issue.
The AMD driver team seems chaotic and unpredictable, making changes without much planning. We notice this through their driver updates, which are often created by hobbyists chasing trends rather than experts. This lack of expertise means they might miss important details.

05-25-2016, 06:35 PM #6They seem to be focusing on Nvidia and ignore AMD's role in the GPU space. (I've actually heard that from some of the creators of those guides) Their drivers have worked well for me since 20.1.X, so updating to 20.5.1 isn't an issue for testing this feature.

05-26-2016, 12:01 AM #7Seems like beginners to me. Not a big supporter of fanboys, but Nvidia’s driver team stands out. It’s common in mobile, Tegra SOCs have great driver quality, while others in the sector often deliver shaky, incomplete drivers. It’s a pleasure for developers using well-supported devices, as it reduces issues and provides helpful developer tools. In the PC space, AMD’s drivers are fine—just basic enough.

05-26-2016, 07:14 AM #8They're not as good anymore. The 20 series drivers offer a better interface than Nvidia and let you manage everything locally without needing an internet connection. While AMD has had issues with driver quality before, this update marks a positive shift. Most people avoid mentioning this in reviews or guides because it's not the main focus. It was a deliberate change by AMD to improve the experience. Don't let the hype from fans influence your opinion.
I focused on the code quality and functionality, not the user experience. The sign-in process is tied to GeForce Experience, but there’s an alternative to install drivers without it. Since I own both AMD and Nvidia cards, I’d say the AMD approach works better than GeForce Experience.

05-26-2016, 12:16 PM #10The code quality and functionality are best understood after decompiling and examining the implementation. What appears on the user interface and how the driver performs in real use are the only reliable indicators.
