The AMD Driver Thread

Does anyone know which is the latest Crimson driver with the UI below without Raedon Anti-Lag, Chill etc as I have tried Adrenalin 20.4.2 and it is causing lags/stutters in game even with them turned off.

19.12.1 has anti-lag but doesn't seem to suffer the same issues as the later drivers.

It's getting really annoying with GPU drivers. Nvidia's ones are also poop (and appear to be frozen in 1998).
 
Installed 20.8.1 yesterday and had 2 driver crashes in 6 hours of play in Borderlands 3, 1 with the OC profile loaded and 1 on stock, and both times it corrupted the shader cache which is a pita as takes ages to refresh each time. Before this driver this has happened circa twice in the whole time I've been playing the game. Anyone else seeing this? Still on Vega 56 with no driver features enabled.

20.8.1 gave me stutters on my vega 64.. 20.7.2 is what i reverted to and has been fine with no issues.
 
Sad to see some many people still suffering BSOD and display driver related crashes.

I'm still running the 19.12.1 as its the only driver my 5700XT doesn't have issues with. Come on AMD, sort it out!

I went from 19.12.1 to 20.8.1 this weekend and played games no problem, just downloading 20.8.2 now.

Not saying people dont have issues but so far I've been okay.
 
From when I purchased my 5700XT in Jan nothing but issues, however all optional drivers have worked flawlessly, I'm on 20.8.2 from 20.8.1 and I've played a few games since downloading and installing them, I'm surprised it's so uneven for results across the board literally.

I`m surprised that no one has tried to collate some results to try and find a common demoninator. I take it analysing the minidump showed an AMD driver issue ?
Click to expand...

problem is, even checking a mini dump isn't going to tell why which part of the driver is causing the crash, only that the driver is crashing. i/e enabling enhanced sync. the only way to truly know is keep a record of changes made and which cause the crash. which for the most part of why people dont give any details, as they dont really know or analyse what they have changed in detail. or debug the driver with the dev tools used to make it :)
