Not much to say about these drivers, as per the release notes there's a DXX and a Crossfire profile for Kingdom Come Deliverance and that's it.
Entire driver appears to be mostly for supporting that game although from th e above image OpenCL was also raised from 23.20.15017.3003 to 23.20.15017.4003 so that's interesting.
(And no Mantle version info? Interesting, Vega specific perhaps and no support for that card for this API?)
EDIT: Though this does allow testers to try the game on 18.2.1 and see how the game performs and then test it with 18.2.2 to see how the performance claims hold up, perhaps even if there's gains for older GPU's, particularly the 400 series since they're also Polaris but also older models.
EDIT: Ah I'm blind again ha ha, or just tired perhaps. Missed that the other listings were for Fortnite and PUBG improvements too.
(Testing against a older driver though, curious so perhaps 17.12.2 or 18.2.1 already had most of these benefits.)

The RX 580 and Vega are used for testing examples as they are current. The 400 series should see similar if not the same gain to the 580 results. Older cards can still see benefits as well, just they haven't tested the performance difference.

There is always uplift in Performance in new WDDM 2.3 for any ATI uArch based on GCN (up to Polaris) or GCN_Next (Vega)
ATI did not finish polishing WDDM 2.3 yet
-> It takes time, but when they do, we will see some more FPS uplift across the 'table' :p
There is difference between suporting WDDM 2.3 & Utilising it as it should be.
I can't find some insights into WDDM 2.3 specs tho...
I know that this one has SM/VM up to 6.1 in DX12.1 (only Vega has it in H/W)
And some other Gaming related goodies (it's an solid base for next Xbox IMO, also Vega based )
