AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.11.1 Beta
AMD has released today the Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.11.1 beta drivers. These drivers bring a host of fixes and performance improvements to a number of titles including, Hitman 2, Battlefield V and Fallout 76. In the case of Hitman 2 the Radeon RX 580 sees a performance uplift of 3% at 1920x1080 compared to the Adrenalin 18.10.2 drivers. Meanwhile, Battlefield V sees performance improvements of 9% and 8% respectively on the Radeon RX 580 and RX Vega 64. It is likely other GPUs based on the Vega and Polaris architectures will benefit from these drivers as well. Fallout 76 gets official support with this release, however, no other information was made available as to what AMD has done for testing with Bethesda's latest offering other than to confirm that it works.

Update after an hour and some minutes: Had a hard freeze with these new drivers. Was browsing some websites on Firefox when the entire system froze. I did not lose signal to monitor, but nothing responded. I was forced to power down system, and bring it back up. Already reported the issue to AMD, and am now back on 18.10.1.
I may just shy away from these since my system is stable currently...
If I have any issues with these betas, I know which driver to go back to atleast lol. 18.10.2 I really couldn't even use. My display would lose signal and my Rx vega would just spin at 100% fan speed. I was afraid these might do the same but hasn't happened so far lol. 18.10.2 were certainly the worst beta drivers for me. May be there is a reason they released another beta quickly.
EDIT: it reset my monitor back to 60hz is why the game looked stuttery...I have it back to 72hz and all is well so far with these beta drivers.
