AMD's latest driver fixes a bunch of issues like Anti-Lag stuttering, memory leak problem with ReLive Instant Replay, audio issues with H.264 and H.265, and more. High idle power draw though, remains.
H.265 RSS
AMD has unveiled the Alveo MA35D media accelerator. It's designed to power live interactive streaming services at scale and supports H.264, H.265, and AV1 with significant compression abilities.

Google Chrome is finally adding support for HEVC (H.265) decoding with version 107 today. This is despite Mozilla saying that it plans to add no support for the modern compression format.
Samsung has been sued for infringing HEVC patents as the South Korean giant has been continuing to offer products that come with HEVC or H.266 support, even after its license has long expired.
AMD's new Navi 23-based budget cards, the Radeon RX 6500 XT and the RX 6400 are limited to just four channels of PCIe bandwidth. The cards also lack AV1 decoding and H.265/ HEVC encoding support.
Intel's new graphics driver version 30.0.100.9955 adds support for DX12 video encoding for H.264 and H.265 on Windows 11. Aside from that, it fixes plenty of gaming-related and general bugs too.
The next-generations VVC/H.266 codec has been announced as a follow-up to H.265. Like the previous codecs, H.266 promises a significant reduction in size with no apparent quality loss.
