Download AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.12.2 driver. This is the new Adrenalin 2019 driver offer new features and options.

Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, designed to give gamers deeply immersive gameplay and inspired by today’s era of social, connected gaming. Should you like to share or read up on user experiences, we have an open discussion thread open on these drivers right here. 

The driver has been redesigned and will offer some new features, among it a more an enhancement for the OSD, showing monitoring registers like FPS game performance, VRAM, CPU and other stuff. The December driver obviously is an incremental driver update just as we have seen on roughly a monthly release schedule with lots of zero-day driver releases when games are released.  Updated as well is AMD LINK support for smartphone monitoring of your graphics card(s), which we'll talk about on the next few pages as well.

    Just a headsup, if you have MSI AB (or other 3rd party util like this) and after you've installed this driver, check to see if your custom fan speed is working or not. I'd to uninstall this driver because not only did custom fan in AB not work with this driver, it seemed to mess up my card's (gigabyte RX VEGA 64 Gaming OC) own fanspeed. Couldn't even run Heaven benchmark for a few seconds (during which temp went straight up) but even when temp hit 60C, the fans on my card didn't spin (I actually took a look at the physical card, as well as the sensor on GPUZ). when temp hit 69C after mere seconds into the benchmark, I'd had to quit. Yes, the fan was spinning but pretty slowly given the temp which exceeded 70C.

    Works no issue with RDV64. Have not tested any games yet, but fan curve is still there.

    No issues here with driver managed fan controls, but don't use third party utilities for custom fan control.
