My apologies if this thread is in the wrong place or breaking some other rule. This is my first post so please be gentle...

I have:
27" 2015 iMac 5K (17,1)
4.0 GHZ quad core i7
Radeon M395X
16GB RAM

Bootcamp install is Windows 10 (April 2018). I'm using it exclusively for playing games (Steam and Origin) and it's working very well so far.

I've read a large number of posts here and I'm still in the dark. What driver(s) should I try (or not try)?

27" 2019 iMac - Octal Core i9 - Vega 48 - 32GB RAM - 512GB SSD

Never install version point-zero of anything...

Try the latest release as it provides the best compatibility for the newest games.
Sometimes the latest releases can contain bugs that have been introduced from the engineering work done over at AMD, as these are basically modified PC drivers.
If you find yourself with issues, try downgrading to 18.10.1 or even further back to 18.8.2.

I've installed Adrenalin 18.12.3 V3 and everything is working fine. I haven't noticed much in the way of a speed increase but I've only tested a couple of games so far.

The lack of HiDPI/Retina support in Windows is extremely annoying if you have eyesight as poor as mine. Some third-party apps are almost impossible to see even with text set to 200%.

Thanks for all your hard work.
