AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.11.2 WHQL
Hot on the heels of its massive Radeon RX 6800 series graphics card launch, AMD released the Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.11.2 WHQL drivers. These drivers add support for the newly launched Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 graphics cards. It also adds optimization of "World of Warcraft: Shadowlands." The Vulkan ICD is expanded with a new extension, "VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate."
AMD also fixed a handful new bugs. To begin, hitching or stuttering caused by Radeon Instant Replay during fullscreen video playback has been fixed. Certain RX 500 series graphics cards not remembering fan settings after sleep has been fixed. With multiple multiple high refresh rate Radeon FreeSync displays connected to certain RX 500 series graphics cards, glitching was being noticed, which has been fixed. A case of stuttering when disabling performance metrics overlay in-game has also been fixed. Performance issues RX 5700 series cards were noticing with "Xuan-Yuan Sword VII" have been fixed. Mouse corruption in "Serious Sam 4," when changing graphics options in Vulkan API mode, has been fixed. Grab the drivers from the link below.

- Enabling Record Desktop and Instant Replay may cause hitching or stutter during fullscreen video playback on some system configurations.
- Custom fan settings may not retain after waking from sleep on Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.
- Graphical glitching may occur on Radeon RX 500 series graphics products when at idle or at desktop with multiple high refresh rate Radeon FreeSync displays connected.
- Disabling performance metrics overlay while in game can sometimes cause frame freeze or stuttering.
- Lower than expected performance may be experienced on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products in Xuan-Yuan Sword VII.
- Mouse corruption may be experienced when changing graphics options to Vulkan API in Serious Sam 4.

Haha driver problems strike again. Will it be RX 5700 series all over again?Also are these drivers WHQL?
they only show up for me when I select Recommended+Optional in the AMD control panel
AMD's DX11 driver is so bad in this regard that you can literally use DXVK to translate the DirectX11 to Vulkan and it performs better in some cpu-bound instances, despite the emulation. This is how I used to play KSP because it just worked better.
OpenGL is even worse. But DX12 and Vulkan work pretty well.
AMD seems to be focusing on all future games being dx12 or vulkan so my system is pretty future proof really in that regard
No, really, I think they will do the usual cadence of releasing it somewhere in December, I think?
