So the steps I took to eventually get it working:
Ran DDU in Safe Mode 3 times without restarting just to get literally every trace of anything possible.
Installed the January Red drivers which worked fine prior.
Updated to the August Red drivers via Device Manager
Reinstalled the August Red drivers with the Setup.exe but did not do a clean install/factory reset to resolve the version mismatch error with Radeon settings
Everything seems ok now? Did a bunch of 3DMark runs without errors or crashes and higher scores than on the January Blue drivers. Played Need for Speed Heat for about an hour to test power draw from the GPU and CPU as that game is unusually CPU heavy. Shout out to the Frostbite engine I guess. Anyway, everything seems ok. There is still throttling but it looks more like power throttling versus thermal. After a certain point the CPU sits on about 20w power draw at about 2.1ghz occasionally spiking higher and the GPU stays between 45-50w (these readers are through MSI Afterburner using the RivaTuner overlay).
This is just a general curiosity question but why are the Blue drivers recommended for the MBP 16? The Red drivers are showing solid performance - reasonably better than the 1650 in my old XPS 15.

I put a post in the troubleshooting forum as well, but I'll post here for anyone else who is also having these issues or who has a solution.
I am on a 16' MBP with the 5500M 8GB and i9.
I have done DDU 3x in safe mode AND the AMD cleaner, and I still am getting the black screen issue with both red and blue August drivers.
I have also tried installing through device manager. If i do it after running DDU, i still get a black screen. But when i update the drivers in device manager after installing the january drivers, it seems like the new ones are only half-installed, and many things are broken. I also get a lot of stuttering and input lag with this method. I also get the "settings and driver version do not match" message when i try to open the Radeon settings.
Also, Radeon ReLive does not work for January Blue/Red drivers. Can anyone confirm if relive works/doesn't work with the august drivers for MBP 16'? ReLive is super useful for me so I'm hoping it will be fixed soon.
I just also want to say that I appreciate all of the hard work you are doing to give us updated drivers. I hope I do not come off as entitled or anything like that. I really appreciate your help!

Doesn't work in 16 inch 2019 5500m 8GB. Had to install January and install driver using the Device Manager. Downside, I can't use the AMD software.

Adrenalin August Red gaming edition works well with iMac 5k 2017 Radeon Pro 580. ReLive not work, green screen, does it work for you? Install OpenCL-AMD-SDK-v1.4.87 not resolve problem. |

It should just install the radeon software then. |

it doesn't work for me either. I have tried to install all versions of 2020 drivers and without luck. The system no boot up and freeeze in the circle with windows logo balls. I think I always follow the right steps:
- I create partition with asistant boot camp
- I install the latest windows 10 pro (2004)
- I dont install Apple´s drivers bootcamp
- I restart in dfu mode for uninstall driver of graphic card with latest version of DDU
- I install the certificate (addtrustexternalcaroot_kmod.crt) in local machine and install drivers (bootcampdrivers) with administrator permissions.
I have a Imac 2017 5k with 580 pro.
Mat HD Thank you very much for your work

iMac 27" 2019 with Vega48.
It seems August' drivers are first ones in a long time that work without issues right away (apart from Apple's drivers).
I was on 20.4.1, Blue Edition. Firstly, I updated to Windows 2004 (it seems Microsoft has improved something from their side also, because last time I tried 2004 only half of the screen worked, no matter on what resolution and no matter what drivers (Apple's drivers, different bootcampdrivers, no AMD drivers), but this time after update screen worked without any issues).
Secondly, DDU 3 times in Safe Mode, after that installed Red Edition with factory reset and it installed right away without any problems (not like with previous 3-4 versions that always crashed at the end, you had to DDU again, install Blue edition, DDU again and only then Red Edition).
Currently haven't had any problems. Internal and external displays work, even on 5K resolution; Radeon software works; even in Warzone it seems FPS has improved slightly.
SO I'm very happy, thank you Mat.
