AMD Radeon cards now can run Nvidia Flex

[Fala7er]

It used to be something only NVIDIA cards could do but since last year AMD cards can also use this feature, i'm copy-pasting a post found on the steam forums about this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5xfgz3/amd_radeon_cards_now_can_run_nvidia_flex_what_is/

I had a peak at nVidias documentation on this, and in Flex 1.1.0 docs, it says

Requirements
A D3D11 capable graphics card with the following driver versions:
NVIDIA: GeForce Game Ready Driver 372.90 or above
AMD: Radeon Software Version 16.9.1 or above

Now that's the documentation for Flex 1.1.0 KF2 appears to run 1.0.5.0 according to the DLL version info. I don't know if that's referring to development being capable on AMD, so I could be barking up the wrong tree. Does Flex support AMD hardware as (possibly) said here?

From the 1.1.0 changelog

Add support for DirectX, in addition to CUDA there is now a cross platform DirectX 11 and 12 version of the Flex libraries that Windows applications can link against

Is it possible to bring KF2 to a library that supports Flex on AMD?

If i remember correctly, during the early days like launch of early access of kf2, amd could run flex.

I do remember it running on my rad hd 6770 and tanking my fps, but it ran.

​​​​​​​Then later in development for some technical reason the flex was disabled globally, while nvidia was doing bugger all with it and then re-enabled but for you guest it, nvidia only.
