Only if you have 5500m (which is not compatible with March drivers) or iMac pro with good GFX. And. Better for you use liquid metal for the game (if you using Macbook). And remember - be dangerous with liquid metal. Today I’ve done Alyx on my 5500m with medium setting. But I’ve used a liquid metal and custom frequencies in MorePowerTool. I’m already playing it on the base 16” MacBook Pro with 5300m graphics. I’ve been getting stable 72fps 90% of the time (at low settings), but I do get performance dips to 60 fps or even less sometimes. I was hoping the March drivers could fix that. Are they compatible with the 5300m yet? Navi cards are compatible with the latest drivers.

Are they? Everyone said they aren’t working. Have you got it working yet?

Adrenalin March Red Edition (20.3.1) works well.

First time caller, long time listener. I'd like to thank Matt for all the work he's done over the years. Please take care of yourself, sir.
I tested the latest drivers on an iMac Pro with a Vega64. The installation sometimes failed and sometimes succeeded. When it succeeded, the screen messed up, the computer restarted, the screen messed up again, the computer restarted again, and then finally I was able to log in. AMD's control panel did not automatically load as it normally does after the login. I also tried the old method of updating the drivers, which succeeded in installing the driver. I did have the same experience of a few other Vega users who received error messages after trying to install the driver the first time.
However, the March driver, along with the previous January driver, cause games to suddenly drop from 60 fps to 23-30 fps momentarily. This stutter can happen at any time and it is not linked to graphically demanding moments in games. It's like the GPU suddenly cuts out, or, for a lack of a better description, gets confused. This happens in games like Gears 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and My Time At Portia. Using DDU 3x and reinstalling old drivers doesn't fix this problem, oddly enough. Even after doing DDU and a reinstall, the fps drop problems persisted. I pulled up the overlay, and it seems like power to the GPU momentarily drops when these fps problems occur. (I hope that makes sense.) The temperature of the card was not excessive, either, when these fps drops occurred.
I ended up wiping the partition and reinstalling Windows 10, and I'm now using the January driver from AMD's site (26.20.13001). AMD's official driver does not exhibiting the same fps drop problem, but it certainly does not yield the same performance as Matt's Red drivers: certain games will barely run, while others will run smoothly at reduced settings or a lower resolution.
Hopefully this information is helpful. Thank you again for all the work you've done for the Mac community, Matt.

Guys I'd like some advice. At the moment I use the red version of mat but of December (which works very well) because that of January blocked my whole system and I had to format windows. (I have an imac 5k 2019, i9, vega 48, 40gb ram) I would like to install the new mat drivers only when they are complete again and not in these trial versions. The December mat drivers are based on version 19.12.3, the new amd drivers for bootcamp instead on version 19.30. What do you recommend?

Use the blue drivers. with the January drivers, even the blues didn't work For this I asked if for now I should install the most updated apple drivers and wait for a more stable and secure version of the Mat drivers, or leave my current Mat drivers of December.

Hey Mat, any update on when you think the new drivers will be out?

I tried to install both the red and the blue drivers on my base 16" MacBook and they failed to install. I get that yellow warning sign in device manager.

Curious - previously with iMac Pro there was instructions to not use DDU method, and install over top of the old drivers, is this still applicable?

Installed the Red drivers on my 2018 15" MBP and ran them on both the internal 560X as well as my RX 580 eGPU; all worked well. For some reason the screenshot/instant GIF/video replay won't work, but I imagine that's more a software issue than a driver issue. AMD Link works in this one too, which is nice.
Wishing you the best of health and a speedy recovery. Scary times out there.

I've tried these and I'm still getting the blank screen/vertical colored lines crash consistently about 5 seconds upon landing on the login screen. I've had the same issue with the same releases and with the official drivers (19.3). 18.4 so far have been the only release that I can run but they're quite old. I've done the full uninstall, 3x DDU and official cleaner with a full install but it all leads to the same crash. Any idea how I can find out what's wrong? Edit: I'm on a 2013 Mac Pro with the dual D700 setup. Edit2: I did a forum search and found 2 more people with Dual D700 mac pro with the exact same issue. One of them mentioned they successfully reverted to your November-2019 and I followed their advice. It was successful so it seems whatever is causing the problem happened after that version. Mind you even when it crashes on the new driver, it still renders successfully for 4-5 seconds on the login screen before the vertical lines appear. I can tell that the driver loads correctly based on the night mode fade animation (it only triggers once on boot and it never triggers when there's a driver failure) I'll look into it for the next release. Mat this might be of some help the AMD driver’s released on 3/23/2020 install and work for me. (Only issue wake from sleep, have to reboot) These were updated from 12/2019 back then the install fails like it did with you drivers for January and December. Colored lockup screen. Your November drivers work best on my Mac Pro 2013 D700(even wake from sleep works) Thanks, Hackintosh
