Download AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.12.3 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.

Thanks but no thanks. Maybe i'll give it a try when the known issues are fixed. 0 fan, auto-tuning, wattman issues.

My card has 0db fan. But its not working with this release.

I have to hit the zero rpm button many times to get it working and most of the times once the fan starts kicking, never goes back to zero again.

I updated cause the previous driver had other problems with fan.

And I thought nvidia drivers were a nightmare.

Thanks for the nice welcome amd.

Make and Model of video card?

I've got zero rpm video card too and it is idling with stopped fans.

Have you tried performing a clean install using DDU "Display Driver uninstaller" ?

ohhh... I just realized I'm using 18.12.2...

*edit*

Found someone reporting same as you here : https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/radeon-software-adrenalin-2019-edition-18-12-3.424472/page-2#post-5619871

Looks like it really is a driver issue then, best for you to do is use 18.12.2 WHQL

Hi. Thanks. Yes, is a driver problem.Sapphire 580 here. Really nice card. Drivers are much more mature than when i left amd cards.

But fan problem is some kind of a deal breaker. They hav to be cafreul with this.

Problem started as soon as I rebooted after installing new drivers with ddu and opened radeon wattman.

The previous driver has some problems with fans too. If you change the speed manually, that speed could get stuck even if you go back to auto. Which could be a problem if fans are stuck at low rpm when gaming.

Hope they resolve this bugs. The overall experience is positive. The 580 is a beast of card for mid range. Really happy how it performs at 1080p.

Have you tried 18.10.2 WHQL, little bit older driver, released just prior to the "Adrenalin Edition 2019"... it's available here on Guru3D https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-adrenalin-edition-18-10-2-driver-download.html

Should be safe to use while waiting for Adrenalin 2019 Edition to mature.

I will feel much better once they get signed by Microsoft, which seems to be the only thing they can do right.

Hi, yes, that one works fine.

Not sure why they released this. The bug is even mentioned on known issues in changelog. I think is kind of critical bug alter the fan curve. Lets hope they fix this with next release.

Well, in the meantime im happy to turn on dx12 on many games and dont have stutter or instant crash. Nvidia Im looking at you...

Lost manual control of fan speed on both RX480 and Vega64 in Wattman. I can just set automatic fan control, or use something like Afterburner instead though but kind of annoying.

I have had to resort to Easytune6 (for Gigabyte MBs) to make my fans really quiet at idle. It works quite well but every time you boot up it gives you an error "this driver cannot rapair to failure' you click OK and it's happy after that, apparently the software is looking for a wifi, my comp doesn't have it

Update 2, not happy with these drivers at all. Even though in both Wattman and even Afterburner I force fan speeds up, they still ramp down on their own when I enter a game. When I'm in just desktop in Windows, fan curve settings apply.

The info I have found so far is that applying a manual fan curve is anything but a curve and there's also limited or no hystersis so it jumps from one point to the next instead of scaling. Lower activity and it immediately jumps back so the fan is anything but smooth and the changes also re-adjusted the temperature limit on Vega GPU's and of course conflicts with other software altering AMD's OverDrive API for controlling these settings.
(And known issues such as zero fan disengaging.)

Can't speak for Afterburner or other software, I assume Sapphire and TriXX will have a update out if it's not compatible with 18.12.3 since Sapphire is a direct affiliate of AMD but even they seem to have some issues with this updated Adrenaline 2019 driver from the main driver thread and what users have reported so AMD probably tuned something when they fixed part of the current issues.

Fix the other half of these for January and Adrenaline 2019 can finally be a thing, start applying these features to Polaris after that and then probably more fixing and tweaking through February perhaps. We'll see and I guess we will also have to see how many steps down they can scale this for GCN from Vega to Polaris to Fiji and back to GCN 1.1 and the 290/390 maybe even the 7000 series though 1.0 well it seems to be struggling a bit more than the rest with the current drivers so that either has to improve or AMD will drop them at some point.

EDIT: Ah.

This is beta1 so use at your own risk. All credit goes to tede over at Guru3d. Screenshot:

"There is no official AMD ADL SDK update (last one is from 2016) so I've had to guess how to use new api. Use it on your own risk! Added: Fan Curve values, Fan Zero RPM, Memory Timing Level, removed: Fan Target Temp, Fan Maximum, Fan Minimum, Power Max Temp. Requires driver 18.12.2 or newer"

"Unfortunatelly there are only 5 states, I couldn't find if it's possible to have more. Whole "Fan Curve" feature doesn't work like fan curve but like switching between points, which is very dissapointing. Here is an example:"

Yeah that does seem quite apt really.
(Fan steps! :p )
(Though it does kinda need to be fixed because I believe a curve was the desired result.)

I have been having one SCARY problem cropping up all of a sudden. My Windows 10 installation keeps bricking on me due to "THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER" and it only happens when my RX 580 is installed. I'm hanging on the brink of panic struggling to get it working again. Hundreds of dollars have been sunk. I'm hoping at least ONE of the driver packages on here will actually not tend to have a stroke in my video card. The worry is making me sick.

Format your system, refresh your OS and install the latest version is a quite optimal option.
