Let us know how it goes
Epic fail... I was downloading AMD cleanup utility it asked for my pc to be restarted which I did, for some reason my password was wrong, the pc had no internet after the restart so i had to do a reformat. I installed 19.12.1 after the reformat and had black screen no signal again, i opened my pc reset the ram and GPU everything seems ok atm...

I'm the same my self, was getting black screen issues, high quality dp cable, newest drivers, not 1 black screen!
Don't cheap out on your dp cable folks.

Im using the one that came with the monitor. Hoping that this means its not some cheap chinese knock-off.
Is the general consensus here to avoid the 2020 Edition drivers?
I have noticed that nearly all games microstutter on the 2020 drivers. I have learnt in this thread that Chill or Anti Lag seems to be a culprit for many, but i need to use Chill on many games to lock the FPS on my monitor (i hate both tearing and V-Sync!).
At least the 19.12.1 had a simple FPS limier - no idea why they binned that off!

DDU in windows safe move. The best way to do the job.

I use 20.1.2 atm, neither had issues with 19.12.2/3. Just had to use DDU between 19.11.1 and 19.12.2 because the changes are many.

Worth downloading the new drivers for Vega?
I'm still rocking 19.10.2, which were released around the time of Call of Duty. That's the only game I really play and haven't experienced any major issues, so adopted the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought.

AMD not sorted their drivers out yet?
For me after 4 years with Nvidia i want to go back to AMD, they have until May to sort it out, if not i'm going Nvidia again.

What do you mean? If you have a particular complaint, send a ticket and try to follow, maybe a response will be sent to you.
I haven't got any issues with my drivers, so that to force me to completely throw my Radeon out if the window.
Given that nvidia is stuck at ancient 90s type of GUI, I think the only way forward is strictly AMD..

It's always like that - nvidia actually has a lot of more work to be done on their drivers. I think it's not the drivers that make you prefer a GeForce card.

They're on fixing them now.

AMD beats Nvidia in the battle for the most stable drivers

This is July 2018, way later than 2016 when probably was the beginning of the 4-year-period for @humbug.
Soldato
Precisely. Although what to compare it to if you never buy an AMD card to see what both vendors offer?
Caporegime
Its quite refreshing to be called an Nvidia fanboy, can't really win either way.
I would stay with the last adrenelin 2019 driver 19.12.1 or whatever its called. I had small but annoying issues with my vega 64 with every 2020 driver
