    • This extension allows more states to be set dynamically to reduce the number of unique pipeline state objects used by an application
Fixed Issues
  • Game Compatibility advisor in AMD Radeon™ Software may incorrectly advise some users their CPU and/or GPU do not meet the minimum requirements to play some games. If some users are still experiencing this issue, reinstall or upgrade your driver and perform a factory reset. Learn more from AMD here on performing a factory reset.
  • If a Blue or Black screen is observed in mobile systems, temporarily disable Enhanced sign-in.
  • Resident Evil Village™ may experience an intermittent application hang or TDR on AMD Radeon™ VII graphics products in the first mission of the game.
  • A Blue or Black screen may be observed after updating to the latest Radeon™ Software when core isolation is enabled.
Known Issues
  • Driver timeouts may be experienced while playing a game & streaming a video simultaneously on some AMD Graphics products such as Radeon™ RX 500 Series Graphics.
  • Users may experience difficulties ending a recording session on Open Broadcaster Software™ when recording in H265/HEVC codec on some AMD Graphics products such as Radeon™ RX 6800XT.
  • AMD Radeon™ Software may crash or become unresponsive while playing some DirectX® 11 games such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds™ with multiple displays connected in extended mode.
  • Playing Horizon Zero Dawn™ for an extended period may lead to a driver timeout or game crash on some AMD Graphics products such as Radeon™ RX 6700 XT.
  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.

  • Radeon performance metrics and logging features may intermittently report extremely high and incorrect memory clock values.
AMD Link for Windows Known Issues
  • Intermittent grey frame corruption might be observed when streaming with HEVC on certain configurations via an Internet connection. A workaround is to use the AVC encoding setting instead.

The Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.7.2 installation package contains the following:

  • Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.7.2 Driver Version 21.20.21.01 for Windows® 10 (Windows Driver Store Version 27.20.22021.1002).

FINALLY !

I've sent so many reports on these issues running multiple monitors on Vega, has been going on for months/years(?), pretty much since the drivers moved to Adrenalin.
It's got a bit better recently, in that at least the drivers will time out/crash and the reporting s/w catches it but at it's worst it did - and still can at times - cause the PC to freeze, or black/green screen, or BSOD, or straight up hard power reset.
It, for me at least, can be so easy to trigger. Watch twitch/youtube on 2nd screen, do literally anything else on the main screen. Browse web, use discord, steam, epic launcher, game (windowed or full screen).
It's not 100% but do it enough and it becomes often enough to be annoying.

Is it worth me updating my bios for the extra SMA performance? I'm on a b550, r7 3700x, 32gb RAM with vega 64. I never seem.to be getting 60 fps in any games, I am usually between 50 and 60 fps, mostly 58 fps. Would this SMA give me that little boost I need?

Games I'm playing atm are horizon zero dawn, aliens fireteam (once released) and new world (again once released).

21.7.2 brought more performance from what people commented, and 21.8.1 seems to be a slight step back, at least in benchmarks.

After the latest update to 21.8.1 my 3D Mark score dropped by nearly 200 points.

However 3D Mark also had an update too.

Not sure what has caused the reduction in the score?
