Yep, this currently works. When I get back home, will report if it works with my eGPU Would be great if someone would make a step by step tutorial youtube on this. would be helpful for the whole community ! when i update through device to red from folder 'drivers' it gives me an error and after there is a yellow exclamation mark triangle in device manager next to my 5500 card in display adapters. is this normal during the process ?

Hi Everyone
first time trying out these drivers. i'm on a 2019 27 inch 5k imac i5 3.7ghz windows 10 home with 8gb ram.
Tried all other drivers but only the blue august one worked. But it seems that i dont have advanced settings available? is this normal or did i miss something during installation? i followed all the video instructions as here
appreciate your reply.
P.S. i have Radeon Pro 580X.

I'm not missing much with it though right? your drivers seem to be working miles better than the originals. I appreciate your assistance.

Hi Mat, After successfully updating to the August drivers through device manager, I have noticed a significant loss in performance. Firstly, my GPU will drop well below the usual 200-300 MHz throttle speed for a brief period of time every 2 minutes or so. For example, if I am getting 40-50 FPS in a game, for a couple of seconds, it will go down to 11-17 FPS. After uninstalling the drivers through DDU, AMD uninstaller, and Device Manager, and reverting back to the January Blue, this issue has seemed to go away. However, I am still noticing a loss in performance over all. Previously on the January Blue drivers, I would never go below 110 FPS in CSGO. However, after installing the August drivers, and then DDU'ing and going back to January Blue, I now dip well below 100 fps, sometimes to the high 60's, while playing CSGO. Hopefully this information helps. I will probably look to find a way to start fresh because I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Even after countless reinstalls for January Blue, I still experience lower performance. MPB 16 inch, i9, 5500M 8GB, 32 GB ram.

Or maybe you've lost some of your performance tweaks between swapping the drivers.

So, here is my experience with my i7 5700XT 2020 iMac:
Installed Red Drivers as per guide Experienced the "two screens" bug Performed the forum fix (DDU x3, install bootcamp, dont restart, install AMD drivers, restart, install RED Software) Games (CS:GO and Death Stranding) are working great
BUT no 5K resolution - limited to 4k in windows (I game on 1440p anyways)
Hope for a fix soon!

Adrenalin August Red drivers running PERFECTLY, upgraded from April red drivers. Followed the instructions on the video (used DDU x3). Running on Windows 1809, Mac mini 2018, Razer Core X e-gpu with a PowerColor 5700XT card. Doom running at 60fps with Vulcan!! No fan problems.
Matt thanks for you hard work!!

Or maybe you've lost some of your performance tweaks between swapping the drivers. Unfortunately, everything is the same. When WIN 10 V. 2004 came out, my computer auto-updated, but I reverted back with no apparent changes. Although this was well before the August drivers. Also, I made no performance tweaks with the January Blue drivers since I installed them when I got my computer back in March. I'm sure there has got to be something I did while uninstalling/installing/messing with the drivers when the August version came out, but I can't seem to recall doing anything besides installing/uninstalling. I tried Red and Blue with the same results on both for August, which is why I reverted back to January. I'll keep searching for any minor change that I can find, but it just seems like something happened when I installed the August driver through device manager. Oh well. I also tried apps such as QuickCPU and ThrottleStop, but I can not notice any difference whatsoever, so I uninstalled those apps.

Hi all,
The default Bootcamp drivers worked fine for my 2020 i7 5700xt, but I thought I'd try these drivers. I tried the red ones, and did the usual install way (have done this on several other imacs for years), but this did not work breaking the panel into two displays. I uninstalled to the windows base driver. I tried to install by driver update, and that gave me full screen, but 1/2 horizontal resolution. I can't download it on the mac side (on Big Sur Beta 6) which gives errors or the windows side. Thankfully, I forgot I had saved the Bootcamp default drivers to onedrive so was able to reinstall <whew>!
Has anybody gotten these drivers to work?
Thanks!

I'm running windows 10 2004 with everything up to date. The system just fails to boot up past the login screen for me! Reverted back to the Jan drivers as they seem to work perfectly. Weird thing I noticed is that it shows up to lock screen on my external monitor and once I login I get the black screen. Where as with my external monitor disconnected the black screen appears immediately just after the windows logo. I use a 34inch 1080p monitor. Hope this helps! I am having identical issues on a MBP 16' 5300m. Installing these drivers triggered a boot crash loop that makes fan go super fast for a second then restarts boot. I got around it by deleting the "atikmdag.sys file in windows/system32/drivers/ (I saw this working on a youtube video, totally random) I did this from my macOS install since I am able to get into the windows partition file system due to it being installed on a separate SSD. With this file deleted I was able to boot into windows, however a few moments after booting it crashed again. I restarted and this time QUICKLY held shift and clicked Restart in windows to be able to restart to safe mode. from safe mode I ran DDU. After removing the drivers I am able to boot in again without any crashes.

How do you fix the two screens bug? monitors are still detected... I am currently on august blue but want to try august red and see what the main differences are in that drivers. Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance Go to the settings for Display, where it says Customize your Display on top. Where there is a drop-down for "Multiple Displays" it probably has "Duplicate" enabled, change that to "Show only on Display 1." You'll then have to change the resolution, since it will likely be stretched.
