Nice amount of fixes.

 

[Kippa]

Are fixes still going to be made for the Radeon VII?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Not trying to thread crap, I have a legitimate question.
Does the amd driver suite still include a bunch of crapware if you don’t pay attention to what you are installing?

in the past I remember getting:
Google tool bar
I *think* ask Jeeves once (this was a decade or so ago)
Some dumb game optimization thing that slowed my startup to a crawl
Some game recording software that sounded pretty cool but it made a game I liked at the time un-playable even when I wasn’t recording

All clean on the install front for AMD. I could do without ReLive but it's unobtrusive & built in unlike Raptr etc.

Ehh, I don't recall ever getting anything like that. Where were you getting your AMD/ATI drivers from, download.com ? LOL.

Edit: For some time, a few years back, they included "Fast Stream" drivers that would hook into your network stack, and cause your downloads to go like 10x slower than they should, in their AMD APU drivers. Those should be removed, if installed. Dell has something similar currently, as I understand it. (Search "SmartBytes".)

But those were part of the actual driver package that got installed, and not some bundled crapware that dragged along in the installer.

 

[Shamrock]

I am getting stuttering and desyncing audio/video with these. Only on Twitch, Youtube or any video. Had to roll back all the way to 19.12.1. Gaming was flawless, though.

 

[Despoiler]

I think these drivers are crashing to reboot randomly when my computer is sleeping. Happens about once a day. I've rolled back to 19.12.1 to confirm. No problems gaming or with anything else outside of that.

 

[Micrornd]

Running DDU and reinstalling appears to solve all issues with 19.12.3 drivers on most other forums.

 

[VirtualLarry]

I had a display-loss event, when I hit Winkey+L to lock my workstation. Couldn't get it back, had to hit master RESET button on ATX case.

Friend is having BSODs on his rig, with an Asus ROG STRIX RX 570 4GB card. (I have an XFX RX 5700 Reference, which doesn't like running without Power Limit set to -10% or -20%, while mining.)

 

[Despoiler]

False alarm on the drivers. The issue happened after I rolled back. I had done DDU and the new factory reset a couple of times each at various points. The issue is just coincidence. I've already reinstalled Windows. Let's hope this isn't a hardware issue.

 

[EXCellR8]

Still a so-so experience on startup for me. Sometimes my OC profile for Vega 64 loads fine; other times I need to manually set it back.
