Why doesn't Johny delete the old installation packages?

According to them the increase in 1% lows is more significant than the average fps, which is imo more important for smoothness.

Any owners of Radeon 6000 series here? Is it true that even on latest cards AMD drivers still do not allow to force anisotropic filtering in DX12 games?

I have a 6900XT and always use the latest drivers. Never heard of such a bug. Do you gave a specific example?

Apparently it is not a bug but rather a missing feature. Here are some mentions of it:

https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/amd-has-limited-driver-functionality-and-customization-compared/m-p/529121
and a lot of others.

After using nVidia cards for many years it was to my huge surprise to find out that such a simple and absolutely must have feature is missing in AMD drivers! So I wanted to double check if it is still the case from the real owners of the latest Radeon cards on latest drivers. Because if so then any new Radeon card is dead on arrival for me. Sad

Ok, this is news to me. Guess I never had to force AF on anything ever before. Better get an nvidia card then, if this is important to you.

Same as @couleur here.
I never force it in AMD drivers. I let the game or ini edit of games do it.
Other than freesync I leave anything in the AMD panel to "game settings", and since nearly every game I play I'd care about anisotropic filtering in has the options ingame to 16x.
Everything in mine for Graphics tab/screen is disabled for the drivers universally deciding/overriding what it should do.
