i have problems with resolution, it just wont display maximum resolution for my display. Sometimes it also kinda compresses whole screen. What is it ? iMac Retina 4K 2020 with Radeon Pro 560X
2020 iMac, i9 Radeon 5700 XT (16GB)
128MB RAM 2GB
I also have this issue. When I install the RED version the screen will stay dark after a reboot for a minute or so and then display ~800x600 resolution, then freeze, forcing yet another reboot. The only way out of this loop is to shift-restart before it freezes to boot to safe mode, use the display driver uninstaller tool, then install the BLUE version which works properly, though is sadly slower for gaming.
I've always had this issue installing the RED version on this machine. In early January I updated the driver to the RED version as per the instructions (through Device Manager) and the RED version worked. However, I accidentally turned off the screen and it the driver never recovered from this, and I got the 800x600 thing again. So, it's back to the BLUE version.  I've tried everything I can think of to restore the RED version, but it apparently fails to install properly and the driver shows a warning symbol in Device Manager. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this and get RED installed properly? |

This can only be addressed by setting up a lab installation on external drive for your Mac model and capturing both untouched R5/R6, Blue and Red driver installations (what and where they write to system), with doing a fresh installation of operating system in between capture sessions. This is about 3 hours of work if you've got a cheap external HDD and about 1,5 hours with external SSD, all capture tools are free (NirSoft and Sysinternals to the rescue). As the result you will be able to completely reset all changes made by untouched R5/R6, Blue or Red driver, because you will know what the changes were. Clearly DDU doesn't remove everything it should be removing from Macs I have noticed that long ago . You may also attempt to fix that by reinstalling untouched R5/R6 driver and then updating it to Red. But it's unlikely this is going to work. Meanwhile since your Intel Mac is equipped with T2 chip it may be affected with memory leak in Boot Camp, please consider doing a brief report in my thread, it won't take much time and the information is highly valuable (or the leak will be never fixed). |

Installing Windows 10 on an external drive is a challenge in and of itself for a more or less casual user like me. I have done it before, but it took a lot of prep. It's not something I look forward to. I may very well just wipe my Boot Camp partition, reinstall Windows and the Blue driver (along with NirSoft and Sysinternals, though I have no idea how to use those), then rinse and repeat for the Red driver.
I have followed every instruction to the letter multiple times, including running DDU multiple times in a row. Installing the Red driver has only worked once, and then ceased working once the iMac display was turned off. So, there is obviously an issue with that driver waking up from sleep.
Anyway, thank you for the advice. It has given me a few ideas. I will post results in your other thread. Cheers.

It is quite to install Windows to external drive if you have a working Boot Camp partition (no USB flash drive is required, Windows installs Windows like a program). In case you will be desperate to do the research I explained previously, I can post a guide how to install Windows to external drive in a matter of minutes (under 15 min for full external SSD installation including installation of Boot Camp Support Software), but you'll have to look into analyzing system changes on installation yourself (it's not hard at all). Of course it makes sense to research only in case easier workaround won't be sufficient. I planned to research this dirty driver traces long ago myself (for my GPU) but haven't managed to find time yet. For my GPU the trick of manually rolling back to original drivers didn't help. Thanks for letting me know you'll look into reporting if your system experience leak too (it might not because the firmware of T2 on iMacs may differ from MacBooks, I have no idea besides T2 is/was jailbreakable for most devices at some point but it looks noone actually tried jailbreaking iMac's T2 chip). |

imac 2020 i7 5700xt 16 GB VRAM user here, red working fine by me. question what Mac OS are you on ? and what Windows version ?? clean install could also help because maybe something got wrong in regedit from windows. i even had to reinstall windows about 5 days ago as i had problem with cpu time in some games.

I'm using the MacOS 13.2.1, and Windows 10 pro 19045.2604, but this issue has existed for a long time. It also was sometimes an issue on my previous iMac. Until last December I was never able to get the Red version to work. It has always resulted in a single weird resolution and then a hang within about 15 seconds. But it only worked (really well) that one time until I put the display to sleep. Then it was immediately FUBAR. When I install I remove all external devices so that the only things connected are a keyboard and mouse. I strongly suspect it is a problem with DDU, because the ONLY time installation of Red worked was when it was updated it through Device Manager, but never again after I ran DDU multiple times. As I said previously, the Blue version is very stable and always installs perfectly, with no weird resolution glitches, black screen, or hangs. But why the Red? It's a mystery for now. I'll try and figure it out after I finish my taxes :/ |

About 3 months or so. I've had to reinstall Windows multiple times in the last two years because of this issue. It never makes any difference. The only thing I use Windows for is gaming, so reinstalling, though time consuming and incredibly boring, isn't a problem. |
