Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3 Highlights


Support For
  • AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Vega Graphics
    • Up to 10% average performance gains with AMD Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3 vs. 17.40 launch drivers for AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Vega Graphics. RS-285
    • Up to 17% average performance gains in eSports™ titles with AMD Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3 vs. 17.40 launch drivers for AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Vega Graphics. RS-286
  • Dirt Rally® 2
    • Up to 3% performance gains with AMD Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3, on a Radeon™ RX Vega 64 in Dirt Rally 2. RS-287
Fixed Issues
  • Battlefield™ V players may experience character outlines stuck on screen after being revived.
  • Fan speeds may remain elevated for longer periods than expected when using Tuning Control Auto Overclock or manual fan curve in Radeon WattMan on AMD Radeon VII.
  • ReLive wireless VR may experience an application crash or hang during extended periods of play.
  • Zero RPM will correctly disable in Radeon WattMan on available system configurations when manual fan curve is enabled.
  • A loss of video may be intermittently experienced when launching a fullscreen player application with Radeon FreeSync enabled.
Known Issues
  • Mouse lag or system slowdown is observed for extended periods of time with two or more displays connected and one display switched off.
  • Changes made in Radeon WattMan settings via Radeon Overlay may sometimes not save or take effect once Radeon Overlay is closed.
  • Some Mobile or Hybrid Graphics system configurations may intermittently experience green flicker when moving the mouse over YouTube™ videos in Chrome web browser. A work around if this occurs is to disable hardware acceleration.
  • Radeon WattMan settings changes may intermittently not apply on AMD Radeon VII.
  • Performance metrics overlay and Radeon WattMan gauges may experience inaccurate fluctuating readings on AMD Radeon VII.

I'm unable to install 18.4.1,
I get the following error:

Error 182

The installer is unable to recognise the AMD graphics hardware.

The PC consists of a Ryzen 2700x & an 8gb RX 480.

Has anyone else had this problem
.

EDIT: My fault I somehow managed to download the Win 7 driver instead of Win 10, Duh!


EDIT 2: Dead Islands still broken though, Anyone wanting to play that needs to use 18.3.3
lmao i just did the same thing bujt had windows 10 driver instead of the windows 7 i need lol

Thanks. Let's hope this one doesn't drop my core,memory and power like the last 2 drivers.
 
@LtMatt Nope, still getting same issue, WTF. Ticket in shortly.


Hopefully a driver fix will be on the cards soon mate.
Just a couple things I would check, I know it's definitely a driver issue has it doesn't do it on older versions.

Power options is Pcie link speed enabled by any chance.
Am looking it this thinking some sort power saving issue but at the same time it's doing it on power saving GPU mode?

This is a strange one, it's very similar to what I was getting that time I spoke with you and I needed to higher fan speed to keep GPU core temp in check.

The LEDs tell you everything that is happening with Vega core speed. For me to keep my GPU at P7 I needed to reduce the load to keep the GPU cool, undervolt and under clock did the trick.

Also worth checking is the GPU hot spot
Again it doesn't explain why its only happening on recent drivers :(

Yes it's doing it on power save mode also.

Hotspot on 73c at absolute highest.

And regarding the Leds, so they aren't linked to GPU load/activity? So does the LED on the card reflect the 8 power states In Wattman?

Yeah mate

If more people realised how good these LEDs are they would want them on all GPUs. Am disappointed it's not on Vega 7

Each state = the LED on the GPU.
 
Yes @LtMatt, also does this when Relive not enabled. I might uninstall the driver and chose to not install Relive when prompted, you never know.

Also, I've tried to set p6 as minimum but it still drops way lower than that.

Lol never knew they reflected the P States....all the messing around I've done with this card since launch day and completely overlooked how obvious it was lol. Every day a school day.
Such a noob

:D
I figured it out quite early on, I do think Amd should have demoed this more though. Tech Led you think it is GPU load, it looks like GPU load etc
They missed an opportunity here man I love this feature and am sure you not alone on this one Tony.
