75Hz bug is still present for RX 5700, just tested (random flickering lines on top of the screen)
State of Decay 2 in Windowed Fullscreen stops at 37-38fps when having 75Hz set.
Already reported this a while back with others people, yet it's still not under Known Issues, why AMD?

Is the setting for switching to RGB 4,4,4 FULL back?

Since this has been fixed in previous driver, why would AMD break it again?

I never lost any Pixel Format settings, no problems with OCin, no bugs with monitor's HZ. All drivers to date since my 390X became OLD, superseded by 400 series and later, not a single problem. I have faith in AMD in terms of long term support and stability.
People should learn to better understand their computer systems, installations and hardware maintenance. I am sure many AMD engineers see things smooth and working like me, so it is difficult and mostly user's end erroneous decisions that are failing hard.

Crossfire profiles disappeared from the atiapfxx.blb file a few drivers ago but the power profiles can still show some details.
These were added as of 19.8.2
So...
Assassin's Creed Origins
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Uplay Plus version (New exe, likely a new UPlay client ID too.) and the separate Tour/Discovery mode and the Uplay plus version of these.
(The Uplay client premium subscription service Ubisoft is doing kinda like EA's program on Origin.)
Borderlands 3
Oak Game (Something 64-bit UE4 from what it's looking like unless Borderlands is now using tree code names and it's that.)
Control DX11 and DX12 (DX11 mentioned in the release notes though so nothing surprising here.)
Man of Medan

little offtopic ... AC Origins ... hoped it will run better than on RX5700 than with my previous RX580, but nope, still can't hold 60 fps

Does your CPU provide enough horsepower to be surely away from DX11 overhead or bottlenecks? Assassin's Creed franchise, all versions, all games, benefit Nvidia mostly by a large margin like the way those games meant to be played. You can't expect much here. It is Ubi's racism, not AMD's problem.

The first ac game is an exception from that rule but nvidia in partnership with ubisoft made sure performance is not much better on radeon gpus. Old case but worth to remind it from time to time. 1.0 and 1.0.1 versions of the game had support for dx10.1 and radeon hd4xxx were getting performance advantage because of that. With patch 1.0.2 support for dx10.1 was removed, explained with "visual bugs" that nobody never seen or reported. 1.0.2 version of ac1 has only dx9 and dx10, no dx10.1 anymore.

Anyone else getting black screen issues with this and Chrome? i.e. The full window of Chrome is black and nothing can be seen if GPU acceleration is enabled. This is on 2 PC's one with an RX480 and the other with an RX580
Current work around I have is to launch with -disable-gpu at the end of the shortcut and then disable hardware acceleration.

"Radeon Overlay may intermittently fail to appear when toggled in game" Still not fixed thanks AMD

This driver fixed all my problems with 5700xt and BFV. No more stuttering, 120-140 on high-ultra settings.I use to get 80-130 on previous driver. The card runs more stable clocks. Also freesynch was not working previously as the screen would dim it self when launching the game. Now is fixed. Very good driver so far.

The CPU usage is mostly around 35-55%. If I disable SMT, it's close to 75-85% but with little better fps.
I read few times fps on AMD cards also struggling in AC Origins/Odyssey due to missing DX11 Multithreading.
I'm not gonna buy NVIDIA card though, just because of that ;-)

I'm not using Chrome, but if I keep HW acceleration enabled in Firefox I get random BSOD. I thought these issues or similar ones are only affecting AMD Navi owners?

Sigh still has Core OCing issues on Radeon VII....part of me thinks they did this on purpose to make the 5700XT more attractive >.>
