If you are curious enough you will see the details on executable: Product version RC6 (release candidate).
Its a good driver.Unstable and other shiit is a problem from some systems or from windows 10 patches.(if you OC the system or the card to squeeze every MHz then you have a unstable system in some games,because not every game's engines are the same)

My 580 is working without issues and im even overclocking and overvolting the thing to its limits.

Hmm the blackscreen display off issue made a return after being gone for the 19.11.x drivers but it's simple enough to restart the graphics stack and clear the error log Windows generates from DWM, not a full display driver crash either so Wattman doesn't go into safe mode by resetting to default.

Other than that nothing to say about the driver so far, fixes a few things but not fully though some of these clock speed problems with Navi seem CPU related but I don't know for sure how it's working though some info points to PowerPlay being no more and instead something called SMU or something replaced it so perhaps it's with that and how it manages the card instead? (Some Linux code commit, not sure if there's any more info on how this works but haven't found anything.)

EDIT: Wattman defaults are different though come to think of it, boost and game clocks are down by a whole Megahertz compared to the 19.11.x drivers but the voltage is also at 1150 something instead of going for a full 1200 though a re-test with defaults should verify if it's not just being wonky again.
(Seems to be a bit of a recurring issue with Wattman and how it acts up occasionally.)

Doesn't really affect things under load though as this issue happens when idle and it could be the GPU was having a moment and running somewhat but not fully elevated and the voltage had scaled up but not to the max hmm.

Well it's effectively harmless if annoying, hopefully the next driver out removes the (D3D11 only?) GPU driver crash listed there as a known issue and that can resolve part of the critical problems with Navi a bit late but at least they got fixed.

We'll see, OpenCL is still a thing, DXVA2 I need to look up, ReLive and x264 in particular I think it was and how that worked with the VCN hardware and err well there's more and some of it has since also been resolved and I'm not keeping up very well with what's what at the moment.

I've been having tons of crashes with any driver past 19.7.5 also with RX 580 8GB (has never been 100% stable), totally random lockups, was playing the new Star Wars Fallen Order... which has save points, so when it crashes I have to do it all again, it was driving me up the wall, getting really heated (not the card, just me).

The Radeon settings have gotten to bloated, takes ages to load, it detects all my games, but you can't remove all profiles at once, only one at a time :/

If I want the overlay to work I first have to open the Radeon settings.

In task manager there is 5 processes to do with just the graphics card, even if you never installed Relive. Amdow, Amdrsserv, Atieclxx, Atiesrxx, RadeonSettings..

No overclocking headroom even with giant supplied coolers.

Tearing while watching videos.. freesync enabled on both monitor and card.

I want the performance of a new 5700 XT and a Ryzen cpu, but don't want all the issues.

Maybe you are expecting too much from your AMD 64 and 1.5GB DDR system, powered by a very old(was it even good?) PSU? Those 5 processes alone must hammer it hard...

If your PC info was a joke, you set yourself up for this)


I don't notice any video tearing - even with my supposedly "ULTRA-MEGA PROBLEMATIC" Navi card.
