Changes... - Official support for Radeon Pro 560X and 555X in the new MacBook Pro 2018.
- Improved installation stability for some Radeon Pro 500 series cards.
- All the XG tweaks are now gone in favour of improved compatibility of non-gaming apps.
Overclocking still seems to not be working. Please use 18.2.2 if you want overclocking. ReLive is not working on older cards still (may be working ok on Radeon Pro 500 series cards). Enjoy!

Thank you for your hard work. I'll download right now and try in on a MacBook pro 2018 (AMD 560X)

Were a lot of people using these drivers for non-gaming apps?
Maybe some 3D modeling folks, or people with a specific video editor they liked, but it seems like it'd be a smaller demographic than people wanting to use the drivers for gaming. IF removing the XG tweaks will also lead to general better stability / ease of pushing out new updates etc then I have no qualms.

There have been an increasing number of things not working probably due to the xg tweaks. As the fps gains were very small anyway, I decided probably best to remove the tweaks for improved overall reliability.

Hello. First of all big thanks for the good work, thats so awesome of you !
Iam using your drivers to game on my 2017 15 inch macbook pro with radeon 560 since october 2017. The drivers work like a charm until version 18.3.3., but every version after that wont let my game start anymore (i tried them all haha). The game i play is a rather old dx9 game but also things like furmark wont launch anymore. I wonder if there is an easy fix or if i am missing something. I know i wont get any real fps gains with and old game like that but i do like to keep my system updated. Windows 10 version 1703.
Thanks in advance.

Sending a bug report to AMD, who can hopefully get around to fixing it. In the meantime use the driver version that works best for you. In this instance it looks like 18.3.3 may be best for you for now.

That makes sense. One curious thing - I updated to 18.8.2 from 18.3.4 last night and windows update is now showing an update for "Advanced Micro Devices - MEDIA - 11/16/2017 12:00:00 AM - 10.0.1.6". It seems like it's wanting to install the old official bootcamp drivers? 2016 MBP pro 460

I had this issue when connecting a second monitor on my 2018 Macbook Pro. I resolved it by disabling HDCP on that monitor via AMD Settings > Displays > Specs > Override. Hope that helps!

I’m not convinced this is consistantly installing correctly. I’ve noticed when using the previous release that a lot of the time in game (according to task manager) my GPU utilisation is in the low 30%.
The first time I installed 18.2.2 the performance overlay worked perfectly and I noticed the GPU utilisation was up in the 70% region. There was a noticeable increase in FPS. I then uninstalled 18.2.2 to try a different version but after reinstalling it, I’ve got no working overlay, and my GPU usage is back down in the 30% zone again.
Any ideas? Surely in a 3D intensive environment the GPU should be working harder than that, particularly when the FPS is very low (less than 15).
I’d expect the card to be maxed out in this situation. Any ideas?
