Just reporting in that I installed these on my Late 2018 15" MBP, 32GB RAM, Radeon 560X 4GB and they are working well so far. This update also resolved the issues I was having with COD: MW.
Great work!

its AMD who makes the driver itself. they then send it to Apple for approval and the AMD will upload to their website. Can we just keep the core AMD (apple driver) while just implementing all the new video game fixes? As long as Apple never breaks.. I spoke with AMD or tried to via Twitter and their forums.. But they're DEAD. I'm a programmer so tell me what I or "we" can do to assist you. We just kinda want a working driver each time.. not really caring about so many "fixes". The CORE AMD driver that at least works like the original APPLE one. I have a macbook 2016 fyi. And finally your work is a boon! Mat the Hack King. I saw someone mention a guide. A brief how-to would help us all. Or a blueprint. I saw you kinda mentioned it in another forum.. community.amd.com/thread/250946

Apple has been gradually taking MacBooks back in the right direction. I really hope they will double down on Boot Camp support eventually.

That's exactly why this site and Mat's work exists. I've no idea what you're going about "not really caring about so many fixes" - also stop assuming "we" when you mean you.

Has anyone found a way to avoid crashes on Doom Eternal with the Jan drivers?

Working great on 16" MBP with eGPU (Radeon 5700XT) Win10.
Was having crashing issues with DOOM Eternal, working very good now.
Thanks for your hard work!

Has anyone tested Half Life: Alyx with these drivers yet? Should I do it?

Has anyone tested Half Life: Alyx with these drivers yet? Should I do it? 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.

Gaming drivers are extremely stable in PC games and emulators compared to previous releases. It's just like the blue drivers I used these past few months.

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?

Using the March Red Drivers with a Radeon VII eGPU and a Freesync monitor is the dream when playing newer Vulkan optimized games. Whole system barely breaks a sweat

Hi all and thank you nice driver support. I make work and play games with my iMac 27", i9 9900k, Vega 48 and 40GB ram. Installed fine and everything works like train's toilets. First DDU and reboot. Then I install Blue drivers with factory reset and restart. Then Red drivers without factory reset. Works great!
Was running for testing newest drivers from apple and made some quick tests with cs:go. I always using ThrottleStop to disable turbo-boost. Without it cannot play games at all because of heating and throttling. With MacBook Pro I used power settings to make max cpu 99% to disable turbo-boost.
So.. cs:go min/med quality and no browsers or anything else no-need-programs running at background. Windows 10 and games on USB 3 SSD.
Apple drivers: 5k: 98 fps 1080p: 409 fps
Blue 20.3.1: 5k: 111 fps 1080p 399
Red 20.3.1: 5k: 115 fps 1080p 399 415 fps
I wonder red drivers have more impact to more complex games. Didn't have time right now test more games. i prefer using 2048x1152 resolution in games with 5k display, because 1920x1080 would be 2.66x smaller resolution than 2048x1152 what is 2.5x smaller. You can notise that on sharpness.
