"Radeon Wattman and chill see some minor updates, we'll leave that as is as really nobody really is using it?"
Dude wtf are you smoking? Nobody is using them? WTH?
One click overclocking and one click automatic under volting is not worth mentioning?
Yes, I've found much to my pleasant surprise, that in recent drivers Wattman support is excellent--settings aren't being dropped, etc. These drivers should make it even better. The "Apply," and"save" options work really well, I've found. Pretty much has eliminated my need for third-party software--which actually doesn't work all that well with Wattman. With latest drivers (18.12.1.1), for instance, I cannot use Afterburner (latest beta) at all--even if I use the software to mirror only the default settings--I experience mysterious game crashes that completely disappear, but only if I uninstall Afterburner completely. That's the bizarre thing--even if AB is installed but not run at startup and not manually run from WIndows--I still get these inexplicable game crashes (in every game I've run with AB/RT installed, 2-4 games I'd say) that stop completely as soon as I have uninstalled AB and Riva T. Only thing I have concluded is that Afterburner and/or Riva T. is conflicting with Wattman and/or possibly the overlay in ways the Adrenalins don't really like at all. I tested this pretty exhaustively after the last AB beta release. HH doesn't report similar problems with AB/RT--so I'm not sure what is happening there. Can't recall of HH was using AMD with his testing results, however.
Going to install these now!...

VSR not working for my 21:9 monitor. Nice one AMD.
EDIT: Confirmed by AMD, only RX series support VSR for Ultra Wide configurations. R9 are not supported. GG.

Reading through the release notes from the AMD page and besides some few % increase in performance compared to 18.2.1 for RX Vega 64 on various titles and resolutions, there's also:
Radeon WattMan is now supported in Radeon Overlay allowing for in-game power and performance optimizations.
Damn, really wanna get home now and bench the per-driver performance and test some OC while in overlay.

No memory overclocking supported on my Fury - very disappointed
(in fact, there are no additional controls at all from previous versions of wattman for the Fury).

I'm sorry for the temper. I find it as the one of the best features in the package because Vega cards are so much better when Wattman is considered for additional tuning. Making it easy for new buyers is huge.
Also the fact, that you do not have to use any 3rd party tool to either modify or monitor your GPU is so good. It has its own overlay too. What else to ask for.
