These latest ones are the first in about 3 releases that are, for me, good in all aspects. Perfect in VR, perfect in game, perfect in teams etc. The last 3 releases would black screen my 7 randomly in teams video calls. First time I have experienced that but these new ones are all good. Happy with that as was still using a november release driver up until about a week ago.

Cheers lads.
Right... So I'm on 2.2 at the moment, had the same black screen at boot. Unplugged the HDMI cable and popped it back in, immediate signal.
Something to do with a HDMI handshake or something?
Guess it's a good excuse to order a 27" 1440 144hz monitor with DP then

That could be it, my TV is HDMI and I'm getting nothing but black screens on the TV with the last few sets of drivers. Monitors work ok and they are dp.

Wrong thread... But how do I get the "FREE ITEMS WITH THIS PRODUCT WORTH £122.95!"

In a email usually, check spam folder if it doesnt show.
20.3 were fine, then I installed 20.4 and got black screens so I uninstalled, went back to 20.3 and now I'm getting black screen with them when they were previously fine!?
Does the AMD uninstall not actually uninstall everything? Years ago you had to use some program to fully uninstall all the drivers, is that still the case?

DDU not amd uninstall. Should fix it.
If your using amd chipsets tho becareful as it might uninstall them drivers, unless theres a option in ddu to avoid that and just uninstalls only the gpu stuff. Which im sure it has by now.

Also remember to install ur monitors driver if there is one available on their website instead of using generic windows ones.

Doea AMD have something similar to the Nvidia Geforce experience?
I'm looking at these cards
1660 Super @ £230
5600xt @ £260
2060/5700 @ £300
Apart from the 1660 Super being the cheapest and therefore suiting my budget, I've had an Nvidia card for so long I've come To like the force experience thing where I can press a button and it saves the last 5 mins of game play. (Without any FPS drop from using)
With AMD looking to be the better value in terms of price/performance I'm seriously considering team red.

Amd has replays, live streaming, streaming to hdd, and a few other things. It doesnt have the auto suggest settings per game based on fps or quality or in-between tho.
Cool. What about setting up to record the last say 5 mins at the touch of a button?
Edit: just found it on the AMD website. Hmm. Team red might be the way to go then.

Yes you can do that AMD call it the relive feature. Here's a video on how to enable instant replays (record) and adjust the settings :-

These screenshot are from a different time of day, i'm not waiting for the planet to spin back round again.....
The first screenshot if from an older video recorded on my GTX 1070 at 50 Mb/s 1440P, its actually a screenshot from the Youtube playback.
The second is from the video file the 5700XT recording produced, also at 50Mb/s 1440P. the GTX 1070 recording was crystal clear, the original recoding was almost like playing the game, only a slight fuzziness about it.
Aside from the dark graininess of the video also Look at the fine detail, its broken up with horrible colour banding in it.
The Youtube video from the GTX 1070 recording actually looks much better than the raw file the 5700XT produced....

I have noticed on my ultrawide with the latest driver that when I exit a game the screen refresh goes to around 48Hz and won't go back for a fair few minutes to its 100Hz setting, If I disable Freesync in the driver this doesn't happen.
I've noticed that Shadowplay definitely gives a better picture too compared to AMD's offering but as I don't have an Nvidia card I use Action by Mirillis, Although it costs £29.99 on Steam, It definitely gives REALLY crystal clear recordings even when compared to Shadowplay.

Have you tried other software options
Forgot to add in my last response, you can get a trial version of Bandicam, but this feels like AMD in build offerings seems to a very basic at how it handles the capture.
If you use OBS for example, you can see the options you can tweak the encoder ( you don't have to but it shows that AMD really operates its game capture in a really basic manner).

I will look into other software guys thanks, i just think its a shame i should have to....
I don't disagree with you, seems like AMD only have included the feature and provided basic bit rates as opposed to how the encoder is used and also if any additional processing is to take place.
I believe the AMF codec used in OBS is actually based on AMDs gpu open so actually is more advanced then AMDs own codec.

OBS will be the first one i try....
