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.

    No VSR on my 21:9 with my Fury X.
    I really wanted 5k 21:9 but up too 3840x1620 70hz works with CRU for me.
    So I do not know what the limitation with VSR is in the driver.
    Even 3840x1620 60hz worked on my R9 290x when I had it using CRU.

    I really want 5k for DX10/11 older titles since only geodasoto works with DX9.
    I really was wanting a Vega 56/64, but the VSR 21:9 5k makes it really tempting to just give in and get one.

    Anyone else have clocklock or overvolt issues with this driver as my card locks to state 7 after running 3dmark and overvolts too 1.292 which is very worrying.

    Update on this issue
    ----------------------------

    Afterburner --- causes overvolt issues when ran in conjunction with these drivers
    no scores to report due too voltage instabilities when used in conjunction with 18.12.2
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Trixx --- does not have this issue and works without ANY issue with this driver
    1506mhz gpu
    2250mhz mem
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Wattman --- does not overclock as well as there is no voltage adjustment over 1200mv and does driver reset in heaven if gpu clock is past 1460mhz ,ram does clock all the way upto 2250mhz(9000mhz true) but does artifact

    1460mhz gpu
    2100mhz ram (no artifacts)

    I've only run ~90 mins or so of 3DMark testing (primarily Time Spy) while I'm migrating my settings fully to WattMan but so far I haven't experienced anything like that on my Vega 56. Certainly a couple recoveries from pushing the card too hard but that was expected. :)
