**THE OFFICIAL AMD CHIPSET DRIVERS THREAD**

[opethdisciple]

I thought I'd create an OFFICIAL AMD chipset drivers thread as a satire of the AMD and Nvidia GPU driver threads.

You can find the drivers found here.

There was an updated set of drivers pushed yesterday. They seem to be a fairly minor update but you can find a reddit discussion here on what was updated. New power plan apparently.

You guys using Ryzen Balanced or Ryzen High Performance power plan?

 

[opethdisciple]

What power plan are you all using, Ryzen Balanced?

Yes.

Release notes.

 

[opethdisciple]

Well... there is a bug somewhere.

Firstly I couldn't remove the old version. When I ran uninstaller it was just sitting at 0%

I installed new over the top. Then did an uninstall. To find that the driver still showed in add/remove as still installed.

Right click remove and it is gone. Installed the new version which is 100% installed but doesn't show up in add/remove programs....

 

[opethdisciple]

Same issue.

I found an unistaller in the extracted AMD folder which worked in the end.

 

[opethdisciple]

Just read online it was a known issue with the previous installer and one of the things fixed in the new version.

 

[opethdisciple]

Had a BSOD this morning from cold boot.

No memory dmp or mini dump.



Everything seems OK. So will see if it happens tomorrow and hopefully catch what it said on screen.

Anything in event viewer?

What components do you have overclocked is the next obvious question?

 

[opethdisciple]

Known Issues

• Windows Installer pop up message may appear during install
• Moving installer window during install process may cause installer window to flicker/move around the screen
• Cannot open installation log file after completion
• Installer may not update a sub-package to the latest version
  • Workaround: Manually uninstall any prior sub-package, reboot, then re-install the full Chipset package

This is why I never install over the top. It's too messy. Too many things can get left behind. Just remove the lot and do a clean install. Same goes for GPU drivers.

 

[opethdisciple]

Apparently these drivers are bugtastic as well.

 

[opethdisciple]

Looks like we'll be getting a new set of drivers soon (officially), as ASRock got a newer set up on their site (v2.05.04.352).

Thought we might be getting a new set, with 20H1 being released on Thursday, so they could be coming this week.

The excitement is building.

 

[opethdisciple]

I know you are joking but comparatively, this is quite a big one! WDDM 2.7 comes with 20H1 and includes hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling which should result in better minimums and averages/lower latency, Shader model 6.5, D12 Raytracing 1.1, Mesh Shader, Sample feedback and better memory usage in DX12.

Everyone is going to be releasing drivers to open these features up

You don't know me very well. I wasn't joking.

BIOSes, drivers, patches etc rock my boat.

 

[opethdisciple]

Yay I'm not alone! Nerds!

Nerds rule the world. \m/ >_< \m/

 

[opethdisciple]

Where's my new chipset drivers?

 

[opethdisciple]

I wonder if the hardware acceleration is missing from the GPU driver update because it needs some chipset updates as well?

That wouldn't make sense would it, because not all Radeon owners have Ryzen CPU's.
