- Introduction to Radeon Developer Tool Suite and Driver Experiments for debugging AMD-specific issues.
- Driver Experiments tool provides low-level driver behavior toggles, useful in development/testing environments.
- Two highlighted experiments: 'Force NonUniformResourceIndex' and 'Disable color texture compression'.
- NonUniformResourceIndex issue in shaders can cause visual glitches on AMD GPUs if not properly annotated.
- Internal texture compression in GPUs can lead to bugs if barriers or clears are missing or incorrect.
- Driver Experiments can help identify missing NonUniformResourceIndex annotations or texture compression issues.
- Examples of issues resolved by Driver Experiments include visual artifacts from incorrect shader indexing or texture compression.
