AMD Radeon Adrenalin Edition 20.2.2 driver download & Discussion

you can also set the desktop to 120hz it should work as 60

 

AFAIK they have disabled it in this release

 

When it was on i always had some micro stuttering, its just not smooth. It does not go well with a freesync too.

 

Chrome/twitch just gives me a black screen with this driver, meh...
There was a horizontal black stripe on the screen for a millisecond and then picture goes black and coolers goes full speed.

I wanna ask you what types of errors windows event viewer shows you in this case, do you getting kernel power 41 like in my case?

 

The (global) option is set to 'disabled' by default, but you can still enable it 'at your own risk'.

It should work hand-in-hand with freesync, by removing tearing if the fps goes over the Freesync range/monitor's refresh rate.
It also means you can basically limit the frame rate to the monitor's refresh rate, instead of limiting to two or three frames below that.

I don't experience a lot of microstuttering this way, and games feel smooth (or it doesn't bother me enough to notice).

 

is your card on a riser?

 

So the driver did not fix my black screen issue... My second Monitor is black on startup... And i still have the FPS issue. Maybe next time

 

Ehm.. no
An interesting thing that i can play 24/7 without any issue
That happens only when i browsing/watching some streams on youtube/twitch entirely or , for example, some content plays in the background (in another tab)- here's a chance to get black screen

 

You seem to be only one.

 

Billions of people on this planet, i'm never the only one.

 

Hardware acceleration is still seeing reports about driver crashes or black screens, curious that it happens far back as the 390 series though but I suppose it is a good indicative for how the driver side of this fix is not yet entirely resolved so it's probably best to test by disabling hardware acceleration and seeing how it goes until AMD and other users confirm it as fixed.


EDIT: And..

Pretty certain the various multi-display issues remain mostly unaddressed, unsure if they're resolved on Linux but I suppose the later kernels have the newest AMD code in them and maybe that's resolved it by now just to compare on the Windows situation and yes it is an issue and also affecting a number of users so not just a few though as with pretty much anything Navi it's kinda random in how it behaves or in this case misbehaves or breaks.

(Some of it might have been fixed silently but reports still show up and I have no idea if it's the GPU, software mainly the display drivers or the display hardware for how this happens.)

 

For now, I recommend for Navi users if playing Division 2 switch to DX11, until we investigate DX12 issues where the game randomly crashes or hangs.

 

I think it's an issue of a game... some of my friends with nV cards are experiencing the same behavior running it on DX12

 

I did a performance log via the driver, and uploaded the result. Logged the performance during a one hour race in iRacing. Go to line 136, thats where the race starts (where we join up with the others after qualifying, and therefore more cars are rendered, thats why the FPS is going below 100 there) The FPS usually stay between 70-100, but sometimes for like 5-40 seconds i have stutters and slight FPS drops. It only happens once or twice in an hour.

To me it looks like the GPU is at fault.

 

thats why i asked if it was on riser, theres been browser/decoding specific issues in the past where cards could run games just fine but lockup or tdr the system when watching a video / scrolling a browser.

 

maybe @ManuelG can get some DevRel going and see about getting Ubisoft to do some Aftermath/DRED/PIX tracing.

 

Rage 1 (OGL) crashes to desktop with this driver when starting a new game or loading a saved game.
Single Monitor 1920x1200 60Hz non freesync display.
Vega 64 reference at stock

 

Thanks for the update on this. Bought the game last week and since then I had tons of crashes throughout my time in the game with DX12 renderer but DX11 seems to work just fine.

 

I've been playin in DX12 all this time and haven't had that issue.

 

The Division 2 won't even star for me now after update 8. Crashes after the ryzen/radeon logo. WTF.

Solved the crashing problem by verifying game files. This game is murderous on gpu. I think AMD should maybe release a new driver for it? High settings, some medium at 75% of 4K and the rad 7 is barely coping. Big Navi save me from this acoustical nightmare.
