Would be nice, so far with about a week of testing 19.10.2 has been almost up to 19.7.5 in terms of overall robustness with a infrequent black screen but recovery and just load the Wattman profile again and it works just fine. (Curiously doesn't report as losing the settings but they're defaulted when checking, per testing this does also happen on stock settings so not specific to just having settings modified.) Considering the symptoms with a corrupted loading/spinner cursor icon, screen flicker, black screen and flashing I wonder if it's losing signal due to something with the scalar or vblank though it needs some more reading up on, testing on a newer display with native Display Port 1.3 or 1.4 would be interesting as would a 120+ Hz forcing a difference in behavior from higher refresh rates and how the later drivers work with these since it forces a different behavior like extra voltage and somewhat higher idle speeds. (This is a Dell from 2016 using DP1.2 and "10-bit" meaning actually 8-bit + FRC and then the newer 2017 model used native 10-bit but overall from reviews it seems like it's a bit worse.) It's about time to hit 120 Hz anyway, not something this system can actually reach in terms of FPS though then again hitting 60 without dropping the ultra unoptimized settings down a bit isn't exactly feasible either. πŸ˜› (EDIT: Meaning just drop the settings they're usually not quite worth it ha ha.) It's not always like that but I still find it funny the GPU performance impact from volumetric clouds in Assassin's Creed Odyssey goes up to around 60% towering above earlier big impact settings like shadows or issues with too high draw distances. (Still a near 20% or so change just from V.High to Ultra with whatever it actually changes being near impossible to actually see although this last part isn't exactly uncommon for High to V.High and especially vaunted Ultra settings or other names for these.) Bit extra voltage stabilized Outer Worlds though the game itself is very prone to just crashing but it's no longer taking DWM with it heh. (The Fallout 3 and New Vegas experience again I guess, well it can be patched assuming it's not a platform specific issue with the Win10 Store version. πŸ˜› ) Media playback works too with the current limits and bugs here and of course the ongoing issue with lower settings clock speed scaling and particularly D3D9 overall and a few specific games where it either scales down almost to idle or just crashes even although Borderlands 3 is a odd recurring example although I do not own it myself and UE4 can be prone to not-quite-100% stable overclocks or undervolts both so that might be part of it. (Think Frostbite was also a common popular stability test far as game engines go, synthetic benchmarks are a good first impression but even stress tests shouldn't be considered granted for stability and reliance.) 19.11.1 could start seeing these remaining little issues fixed, though it's still up in the air for the regressions for Polaris and Vega and ongoing known issues and stability problems though also not a 100% thing affecting everyone so not sure what's going on here. EDIT: Well in my case Vega worked until I had a moment of let's just start building the next system and slotted in the 5700XT around 19.9.1 other than the limitations with the fan curve that is more like a stepping and has reduced max temperature limits. EDIT: Ah there's that cursor corruption issue, bit different but something in the drivers seeing how it (At least here.) only occurs past 19.7.5 whatever it could be. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/dp820q/since_i_have_my_rx_5700_xt_this_happens_with_my/

I truly hope so, because I'm currently playing The Outer Worlds and there're some visual glitches. I know that I could roll back to a previous driver, but I don't wanna give up on the performance boost for this game.

They've definitely improved performance on MW 2019. I lowered the resolution scaling a bit and I'm getting over 200 FPS now. That's an all time 1st. With RIS it looks just as good at default res. But why doesn't Radeon Settings Game Explorere auto etect ModernWarfar.exe? I had to manually add it to Game Explorer.

What i can see, some of You have problems with Navi uArch. One TIP tho, remeber it's new Architecture so all of this drivers are Betas at best πŸ˜‰ Pick Your poison and test new ones cuz' it will get better in time for sure.

I'm starting to consider myself lucky as I have a Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse and mainly play Rage 2,Assassins Creed Origins, Trine 4,Grid 2019, Forza Horizons 4 with no noticeable problems always with the latest games. Also using Sapphire Trixx 7.0 to invoke the 80-85% screen modes to make use of the image sharpening. The only thing I have noticed is many games fail to start or even crash/reset the system if Radeon Anti-Lag is on in Radeon settings, setting this to on with the Alt+L keys once the game is started works fine for me

Trust me, I know. Far from being my first AMD/ATI GPU. Actually, I can't remember what was my last Nvidia GPU πŸ˜€

The black screen issue with multiple monitors on my vega has been a problem for a while. I usually restart the driver using the CRU restart tool and everything works fine but this driver has made things 10 times worse. Was just playing rocket league and my secondary monitor (TV) went to sleep, the game completely freaked out making me think the card was dead. Came back to normal after I turned the TV back on. Enough is enough. I been team red for as long as I can remember but been looking for a new card recently. Unfortunately I'm going to have to switch to the evil side for a while. After reading issues with the 5700 driver I'm not going near that. Hopefully AMD will invest in some decent driver devs as the current lot are a waste of time. I no longer have faith, if they can't fix such an issue I don't really have confidence in anything else they do. Sorry for posting this as I really am a red fanboy but enough is enough now. And before anyone says, yes I did DDU prior to installing this POS.

Horrible driver for Radeon VII! The memory is reaching speeds of 1500mhz (wtf?) on the desktop and won't drop under 1000mhz. 😱 Back to previous driver for me.

find it a great driver for my Radeon vii. Yes memory do clock higher, but my voltage and temps is same as previous. My memory only clocks to 1200Mhz on average,

Starting to lean a bit more into voltage though voltage for the signal and earlier versions for DP and HDMI although I can't say for sure yet, possibly that's something that changed from 19.7.5 which is completely stable here and later drivers which are not though AMD then fixed something for 75Hz support and I guess the issue might not come up at 100+ Hz unless the user has multiple displays and runs into the current bug with support for this. Overrides being recommended and what looks like adjusting voltage or possibly bumping it a bit though I'm not 100% sure yet and that's only one issue out of several others that have been around including 19.7.5 so there's work still to be done and it's about time now almost four months later. πŸ™‚ EDIT: Well there's a variety of fixes so far and more coming in later drivers though some issues remain and it looks to be mainly software although hardware such as the display or connectivity might factor in to some degree plus general hardware like RAM or CPU and overall stability. If a 5800 launches for Q1 2020 hopefully the driver situation will be mostly resolved and the launch for this can be overall better and then the code and driver work can also be put to use when RDNA generation 2 and the next hardware lineup for AMD for later 2020(?) is launched avoiding a repeat though a large part of the 5700(XT) owners are also not seeing any problems at all so it's not universal probably complicating troubleshooting and getting this all resolved. Well the shutdowns, black screen problems and other hard crashes at least whereas the clock speeds and boost problems are but that's less noticeable though some titles are affected more severely than others. (Still more to learn, only reading for now and getting some ideas but we'll see what 19.11.1 does when it comes out and later drivers and what these will end up resolving in time for the feature driver of December.) Something like that, still saying it's a good GPU and solid hardware and the performance but anyone picking one up I'd probably recommend returning it within the period for where this is possible if anything pops up to just avoid dealing with problems or waiting for a fix that could take months and void the warranty and return period short of being able to prove a faulty product when it's looking to be mainly a software side issue. πŸ™‚ (Yeah it's kinda weird, recommended but then possibly acting up and having to refund and pick up Vega, Polaris or something from NVIDIA likely Pascal or Turing.) Might be wrong too, something changed since 19.7.5 but it could just be a effect of some other fix or issue becoming more severe and older drivers have additional known issues and compatibility issues although performance shouldn't be too adversely affected though it's a workaround not a fix for anyone having stability issues on newer drivers.

You do not need Trixx or the 80-85% modes for RIS. The combination is nice, yes. Got the same card for that feature)

Memory clock behaves normally on 19.10.01 for me. It's kinda not ok for the memory (on my card at least) to crazy boost to 50% over normal.

Yeah I know that but reaching 60Fps at slightly lower resolution in games that normally wouldn't at 4k is nice and almost no discernible difference to the average gamer.

No, no...you made it seem as if you need Trixx for RIS. Was making sure you aren't confused about the feature. Of course I understand how resolutions work(see my whole comment). No need for crazy talk) RIS sure does help Dota2 and Doom look nice.

The driver might have brought back the Chromium / Chromium Engine Framework hardware acceleration as a regression from the fix in19.10.1 so software like Chrome, Discord, Uplay, Steam and others could cause a driver crash but so far I've only read reports on Discord itself though it might just be from the software being so popular so it shows up more from how many users have it installed and running. Disabling hardware acceleration if possible should fix it if that's the problem, general driver crash and reset and it'll recover or can be made to recover (Like the Navi black screen display loss issues.) via that hotkey but if it's hanged such as with the sound loop issue before that buffer or cache runs out and stops then it's not going to work without a restart.
