AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.1.1

[btarunr]

AMD today released the latest version of Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition. Version 20.1.1 Beta comes with follows up on the previous 19.12.3 release with an equally long list of fixes and stability improvements in the wake of AMD radically updating its driver software, particularly the Radeon Software application. Before that, 20.1.1 includes performance optimization for "Monster Hunter World: Iceborne." The company has also fixed SETI@Home result errors when using RX 5700 series GPUs. To begin with, AMD removed audible beeps for toggling of Radeon Chill, Boost, and Anti-Lag features (the beep is now optional). Radeon ReLive indication on screen timer during recordings has been disabled by default. V-sync settings now hide or disappear when Enhanced Sync is enabled, so as to not conflict with it and destabilize your gaming session. ReLive experiencing performance issues with high-resolution cameras has also been addressed. Radeon Game Advisor causing in-game CPU usage spikes has also been resolved. Issues with software updates through Radeon Software have been fixed. Also fixed is abnormal CPU usage with DuplicateDesktop process when gaming. A Radeon Software (application) crash when resuming from machine sleep has been fixed.

Radeon Software Overlay toast message persisting even when disabled, has been fixed. Stuttering issues with "Lost Ark" have been fixed. Custom stream hotkey failing to stream with Radeon ReLive has been fixed. Radeon R9 200, R9 300, and R9 Fury series GPUs experience instability in a number of games with over 120 Hz refresh-rates. This has been fixed. MJPEG video payback on RX 5700 series experiencing a green tint when viewed with WMP or Movies & TV application has been fixed. "MechWarrior 5" crashing with DXGI dialog error when using FreeSync displays over HDMI, has been fixed. DouYu live streaming with hardware-acceleration on RX 5700 series was experiencing display corruption, which has been fixed. Excessive fog/smoke effects in "Trials Rising" has been fixed. Right-eye display corruption with "Boneworks" VR has been fixed. "Resident Evil 2" flashing screen at start up in DirectX 12 mode has also been fixed. Grab the drivers from the link below.

thank god for that

if nothing else, this is a very impressive list of fixes

gamersnexus talked with some top people at CES who work for AMD gpu driver team, he said the future for AMD gpu drivers should improve. i really think its just a matter of time now.

AMD says this everytime someone asks them about it. Now, they have a better team, more competent, than ages past.

as with any software that is constantly updated and changed, the more they fix something, the more they break stuff.

I'm hopeful 6 months from now AMD gpu drivers are going to be impressive.

this is just PR talk, what else would they say?
"oh yeah, we've heard all the complaints but we're just gonna keep fixing them at our usual pace because drivers are not that big of a priority"?

didn´t fix some weird, "first flicker/stutter --> than blackscreen" errors
back on non-2020 version

Has anyone tested Unreal Engine 4 games with this driver yet, wondering if they still have the fatal error crash that began with 19.12.2.

EDIT: issue is still present. oh well.

• The audible beeps at game startup from Radeon Chill, Radeon Boost, and Radeon Anti-Lag have been removed. These features now offer audible indicators only when activated or deactivated via hotkey

This was annoying when testing those features. I have since disabled all three for maximum FPS and minimal drops. Anti-Lag doesn't really do much for me in PUBG and R6: Siege. Great to hear that they made the beeps optional now, although they should just make this a menu toggle instead of a hotkey.

• Radeon Software may close or may experience a crash upon resuming from sleep.

This was highly annoying. It was similar to TDR while gaming, however forcing Windows to reset the display driver (which kills the Radeon Software) within a few seconds of the blank out prevents it from freezing up the system and continues normally. It's good they addressed it here.

Maybe a great workaround will be having an Nvidia card next time instead of AMD
pathetic...

And you think in the green camp the drivers are flawless? LoL. Ok then.

You need glasses before Nvidia card, cause that thing is listed under fixed issue.

Until AMD fixes their multi-monitor power consumption - an issue that has been around for LITERALLY YEARS - I suggest you STFU.

Do this for both monitors. It may allow the card to downclock.

I'm not experiencing this anymore because I switched to a LG 27" monitor, but I can confirm the fix does work on a single monitor, not sure on dual-monitors as I gave my Dell to a relative.

No kidding man!!!

Of course, they feel threatened and I would too if I owned a green card lol

I Have both, and my nividia PC can play all the games...the AMD HTPC can't since the 2020 drivers launched...

I switched just yesterday to a Navi 5700 XT I got cheaply expecting the worst...

It's not been very bad at all.

Are you looking at the same list I am? This is a pretty clean release.

i'm wanting to wash my hands clean of intel and nvidia once and for all. currently rocking gtx 1070 and ryzen 3600

Strange, i can play all games with the 20.1.1 driver and a RX 5700 XT without problems.
Also not one problem with my Vega 56.
