The OpenGL drivers have been garbage since Quake 2. Why has it taken 25 years to fix them.

Likely because OGL has been considered obsolete for a long time, especially after being superseded by Vulkan. I'm surprised AMD could be bothered to spare resources to revisit it.

Plenty good old games around using OpenGL. AMD's drivers were lacking compared to Nvidia in this regard. I'm happy with the fix and will test my Ryzen 5 3350G to see what the difference is.

Too bad it took so long. AMD should have fixed it a long time ago. Their GPU's weren't competitive untill recently and optimizing the drivers should have been a priority.

Between the CPU and GPU improvements since OGL was mostly abandoned, I doubt even the crap drivers at 120+fps were much of an issue.

Only a measly 302 fps? Who could even play with that trash frame rate it would make me nauseous.

Does Minecraft really need so many FPS? It's not like its graphics are sophisticated.

Does this work for RX480 as well? I think they are similar Polaris platform cards.
