AMD Reposts Radeon 20.1.3 Beta as WHQL
AMD has just re-released Radeon Software 20.1.3 as WHQL. These drivers are identical to the Adrenalin 20.1.3 Beta drivers posted earlier this month, with the only difference being WHQL certification. It looks like AMD's driver team is hard at work fixing the various issues reported. 20.1.3 WHQL is an important release as it now gives RX 5600 XT owners a WHQL driver — previously they had to resort to beta drivers to power their new purchase.
Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.1.4 Beta was released just days ago and does include additional changes that aren't integrated in 20.1.3 WHQL yet, because Microsoft's WHQL certification process takes some time. A few days ago we reported that AMD silently patched a driver security issue with 20.1.1 Beta, maybe that's a reason, too, why we're seeing a WHQL version today.DOWNLOAD: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.1.3 WHQL

20.1.4 beta is still working well though.
in order to instantly get a driver signed (and not run whql tests), you click a checkbox "attestation sign" and it spits out the signed driver after a few minutes
I saw people on Reddit complaining about new drivers only focusing on software features and not driver crashes, this was only a few days ago, so I am just curious.
Regardless of these minor issues I've been having (which are the first and only ones I've experienced), I'm still very happy with my 5700 XT. I'll happily deal with a few driver issues in (hopefully) the short term for what is essentially 2070 Super performance for less $.
