The AMD Driver Thread

Replay this bit: 6m55s -7m08. Then 7m45-51s. That's the parts I am referencing for the main, its not like AMD have no issues with their GPU's, but factoring in this means its not a mountain merely a mole hill.

So to get them to work one must install, ddu, install, ddu, install, ddu and then install and they will be working :p

Do you think this will be helpful to gaming much like more fps and do you think my vega 56 and others with less than navi cards see a benefit when it comes out, whenever that maybe?

All GCN & RDNA will benefit, even ancient ones like the 7000 series. Including APUs. Also more likely AMD CPUs also.

@LtMatt Are the 27.20.1000.8009 out to use with the windows insider edition?

The windows update alone gives those benefits.

Yes but it still has to implemented to the product stack on a generation by generation basis unless I have it wrong. It may be mandatory which is good.

edit - Not sure where I got the above from but it might be wrong, think I read something aaaaages ago about it.
 
Download the all-new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2 as released by AMD for Radeon graphics cards.

Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, designed to give gamers deeply immersive gameplay and inspired by today’s era of social, connected gaming. Should you like to share or read up on user experiences, we have an open discussion thread open on these drivers right here.

This release adds support for the launch of Zombie Army 4: Dead War and includes stability improvements and fixes for end user issues.

Fixed Issues
  • Performing a task switch with some Radeon Software features enabled or some third-party applications with hardware acceleration running in the background may cause a system hang or black screen.
  • Improvements have been made that allow for more responsive fan ramp up or fan ramp down times on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay and Radeon WattMan incorrectly report lower than expected clock speeds on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products during gaming workloads.
  • When Instant Replay is enabled, a TDR or black screen may occur when launching games or applications.
  • A black screen may occur when toggling HDR on in the game settings of Battlefield™ V.
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt™ may experience an application hang or black screen during certain parts of the game or intermittently during gameplay.
  • Some video content in Chrome™ may appear as a black screen or be unresponsive on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products when hardware acceleration is enabled.
  • Metro Exodus™ may experience an application hang or TDR when choosing some specific dialogue prompts in the Sam’s Story DLC.
  • Grand Theft Auto™ V may experience an application crash when invoking Radeon Software’s overlay with third party OSD applications running.
  • Monster Hunter World™: Iceborne may experience intermittent crashes while idle or on the character creation screen.
  • Some games colors may appear washed out when HDR mode has been enabled in game and Windows® on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products
  • After a Factory Reset installation with the ‘Keep My Settings’ option chosen, Instant Replay could fail to function if it was enabled in the previous Radeon Software installation.
  • When invoking Radeon Software’s overlay while a game is open users may observe flickering in the game or in the Radeon Software interface.
  • Radeon Software may experience a crash and error message when locking Windows® or performing a sleep or hibernate with the Radeon Software Streaming tab open.
  • A loss of display with working audio may be experienced on a limited number of displays when performing a mode change on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
  • Radeon Software may fail to launch if Radeon Software’s overlay is disabled and a game is running in the background.
  • Battlefield™ V may experience an application hang or TDR after extended periods of play.
  • Some Origin™ games may fail to be detected or may detect the incorrect game title in Radeon Software.
  • Some productivity applications are being detected and listed in the Radeon Software games tab.
  • The Radeon Chill hotkey could sometimes continue to remain enabled once the user has removed or disabled the hotkey.
  • Red Dead Redemption™ 2 may exhibit blocky textures on snow covered terrain.
  • After resuming from sleep, Chrome™ may experience an application crash if video content was previously playing on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
  • Radeon FreeSync status in Radeon Software may sometimes fail to update when enabling or disabling the feature through the display itself.
  • Fortnite™ may experience an application crash on Radeon RX 500 series Hybrid Graphics system configurations.
Known Issues
  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Enhanced Sync has been temporarily disabled from the gaming profile and any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay and Radeon WattMan incorrectly report higher than expected idle clock speeds on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Performance and power consumption are not impacted by this incorrect reporting.
  • DOOM™ may experience an intermittent system hang or application crash during gameplay.
  • Desktop cursor may intermittently remain visible after toggling Radeon Software’s overlay in some games. A workaround is to bring up the game menu or task switch to refresh the cursor.
  • A system crash or hang may occur when running the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers™ benchmark.
  • The Gaming tab in Radeon Software may display some folder locations appearing as games.
  • Radeon Software may open with an inconsistent window size or may not keep its previously set size when opened.
  • Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider may cause FPS to become locked to 30.
  • Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
  • Some games may experience stutter while using Instant Replay or third-party applications that stream or perform screen capture. A potential workaround is to disable these features or applications while gaming.
  • Although Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2 resolves many black screen issues, AMD is aware that some users may still experience black screen or system hang issues during extended periods of gameplay. AMD will continue to monitor and investigate reports of these issues closely.

Hope the above helps some folks who were having issues.
 
Installed the new driver ok but straight away it seems to be ignoring my GPU voltage settings.
Mem clock picks up ok, so it at least seems to be trying to use my settings.
GPU clocks I always leave at default, just drop the voltage, so no idea on those.

Will try out stability later. Could always pretty much guarantee a "black screen/TDR/bugcheck 116" with the old drivers, so will see if this one does it under the same conditions.

I also noticed the drivers still don't seem to fully install the audio drivers that come in the package, though it looks like a new MS one updated recently.
Can never work out which one to use as there seem to be two different AMD branches and one from MS.


Win10, Vega 64.
 
Nothing groundbreaking so far. Division 2 benchmark was unchanged from before to after while Borderlands 3 was 0.8 fps lower with the new driver but within the margin of error. The artefacting in BL3 has gone at least. Too early to tell if the exit crash has stopped. Hopefully the 5700 owners are seeing some improvement

Edit: Ha, spoke too soon. Tabbed back into BL3 after writing this and boom, black screen! FFS

You have to use DDU in windows safe mode before installing the drivers. And if you use DDU you have to re-install chipset drivers (if having AMD board) as they are getting wiped also.

Well I tested and still the same stability issue. This time was just a total system hang, no black screen, no TDR driver reset, no bugcheck.

Is pretty much 100% repeatable (though random in how long it takes) by playing Endless Legends and having Twitch playing on the second screen, using Firefox.

Display 1 : 1440p/144Hz/Freesync/DP
Display 2 : 1080p/120Hz/DP
Display 3 : HDMI Connected to Yamaha amp for audio, using 'Dolby Atmos for home theatre'. 1080p/60Hz/HDMI
^ on previous drivers I had tested switching audio to a sound card (STX II) and various different High def audio drivers for the HDMI but all had the same issues.
