AMD Releases Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.10.1 Beta

[crazyeyesreaper]

AMD has released the Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.10.1 beta drivers. These drivers include support for Microsoft's Windows 10 October 2018 Update as well as optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Along with improved support, AMD has addressed a number of issues with this latest release. First of which is a fix for the HDMI audio drivers not upgrading during the Radeon Software installation in some circumstances. Random reboots when upgrading from Radeon Software versions older than RSAE 18.8.1 on CPUs with more than 16 cores has also been resolved. In regards to gaming fixes, Fortnite sees lighting corruption when effects quality is set to High or Epic resolved, while Sea of Thieves sees texture flickering in multi-GPU configurations fixed. You can grab the drivers from the link below.

The change-log follows.


Support For

• Windows 10 October 2018 Update
• Call of Duty : Black Ops 4
• Up to 5% faster performance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 using Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.10.1 on the Radeon RX Vega 64 (8GB) graphics card than with Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.9.3 at 1920x1080 (1080p).RS-258

Fixed Issues

• HDMI Audio Drivers may sometimes not upgrade during Radeon Software installation.
• Fortnite may experience lighting corruption when effects quality is set to High or Epic.
• System configurations with 16+ CPU cores may experience a random system reboot during installation when upgrading Radeon Software from a version older than RSAE 18.8.1.
• Sea of Thieves may experience flickering textures in multi GPU system configurations.

Known Issues

• When using Radeon Overlay on system configurations with the latest Windows 10 October 2018 Update some users may experience intermittent instability or game crashes.
• Microsoft Office applications may experience lag or stutter when dragging applications.
• Radeon RX Vega Series graphics products may experience elevated memory clocks during system idle.

Added Vulkan Extension Support

• VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64
• This extension advertises the SPIR-V Int64Atomics capability for Vulkan, which allows a shader to contain 64-bit atomic operations on signed and unsigned integers.
• VK_KHR_driver_properties
• This extension provides a new physical device query which allows retrieving information about the driver implementation, allowing applications to determine which physical device corresponds to which particular vendor's driver, and which conformance test suite version the driver implementation is compliant with.
• SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string
• This extension provides two new instructions to decorate a variable or a struct member with a string.
• SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1
• This extension provides two new decorations to extend HLSL functionality: HlslCounterBuffer and HlslSemantic.

That driver descends from a newer branch of our driver source than existing Adrenalin Edition drivers, with changes that break compatibility with Radeon GPU Profiler and all earlier releases.
Please grab 1.3.1 ahead of that driver coming out, so that RGP will continue to work seamlessly when the driver is released and you upgrade.

This might or might not affect other GPU tools as well.

Does it fix high voltage on hardware decoding 4K videos on RX 4xx and 5xx series?

It fix the lower performance I was getting in Overwatch on win build 1809. The gpu didn't utilized more then 65% before.
