- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has incorrect default slider values with Radeon Chill enabled. Users can modify these values to suit the experience they want.
- Graphics processor information may be missing from system information overlay on Radeon ReLive captured videos.
- DayZ may experience an application crash when Radeon ReLive Instant Replay/Recording is active or the feature may not work as expected.
- Memory clocks may become locked at low states on Radeon R9 380 series products.
- Radeon ReLive recording in fullscreen with Windows Media Player or Power DVD may experience flickering.
- AMD Radeon HD 7900 series products may experience shadow corruption when shadows are disabled in Civilization™ VI.
- GRID Autosport may experience an application hang when enabling the advanced lighting graphics option
Known Issues
- For Honor may experience game menu flickering issues or fail to render after performing a task switch in 4x Multi GPU system configurations.
- Adjusting Radeon WattMan settings on some Radeon R9 380 series products may cause display flickering or application hangs.
- AMD FreeSync technology mode may not be compatible or function with Sniper Elite™ 4.
- Enabling supersampling in Sniper Elite™ 4 may cause image cropping.
- Radeon Settings may crash on switching Windows® user after toggling AMD CrossFire™ technology mode.

- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft™ may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync™ technology enabled. Workarounds include exiting and restarting the application or task switching (alt+tab) in and out of the game to fix the issue.
Known Issues for Radeon ReLive
- The XBOX DVR application may cause conflicts with Radeon ReLive, users are suggested to disable XBOX™ DVR if Radeon ReLive is experiencing issues.

AMD/ATI has historically been lacking when it came to drivers and usually made up for the unoptimized performance by just using a more powerful GPU. Meanwhile Nvidia has been known to use slightly weaker hardware with excellent drivers. Personally, I'm not sure what I'd prefer - Nvidia's way of doing things is theoretically better, but, only if their optimizations aren't application-specific. Otherwise, AMD's approach is more generic and future-proof, but makes the product inherently less efficient. Anyway... It seems lately both brands are slowly drifting from their stereotypes. I'm not saying Nvidia's drivers are bad by any means, but they are becoming very bloated, Vulkan support leaves much to be desired, and their Linux drivers are getting very far behind (they used to be on-par with Windows).
AMD still has a long way to go but it's nice to see drivers are a big priority to them. Crimson is a solid milestone to separate themselves from their Catalyst Control Crap past. Kind of like what MS did with Edge (except I actually prefer IE11...)

AMDGPU Pro is better than the NVIDIA model by far for Linux.

From what I recall, Nvidia still outperforms amdgpu-pro in most tests. But, I would have to say it has a very promising future, and AMD's Linux efforts are tremendous (especially when you consider what they accomplished in such a short amount of time).

It's a better approach as the parts of the driver that touch the kernel are open source and they follow changes like new kernel versions and Wayland much much faster.

Wow AMD have beaten Nvidia on this driver update for these two new games. Nothing as of yet from green. If that's a sign of things to come that would be awesome...keep it going red team! Really hope Ryzen and Vega stick it to the current 'powers that be'.
