Installed fine on my iMac 2020 5500xt, but for some reason it splits my single iMac display into two monitors - any idea how to solve?

I just want to say, while it's been a bit of an effort getting them all working I really am grateful for these drivers. The default Bootcamp ones are pretty damn bad, display scaling was completely broken before installing these. If I ran a game at anything but the native resolution it would only fill a quarter of the screen for some reason. The January drivers had compatibility issues with one of the games I wanted to play but that game works totally fine in the new August ones so thank you very much Mat.

It doesn't work for me either (win 10 pro 2004). I have tried all versions of drivers and even different versions of windows and I never had any luck. I think I follow all the steps correctly.
- I create the partition with the boot camp Asistant from Catalina
- I dont installa apple´s drivers
- Go to DFU Mode for uninstall graphic card drivers (Basic Screen Adapter of Microsoft).
- Install Certificate in local Machine (addtrustexternalcaroot_kmod.crt)
- Install driver bootcampdrivers (Blue and Red Editions) with administrator privileges.
Thanks very much Mat HD for you work!

Hey Matt do these drivers only work on windows 2004 or they work fine for 1909 scared to install? Should work OK for you. |

Installed fine on my iMac 2020 5500xt, but for some reason it splits my single iMac display into two monitors - any idea how to solve? Probably best to try blue edition otherwise in radeon settings you need to 'unclone' the displays leaving you with 4k max resolution in red edition. |

To finalise my findings Mat;
- DDU in safe mode x3
- Boot back in to normal mode, and install the official AMD Bootcamp drivers
- Don’t restart, and update through device manager to August Red.
- Restart, and then install the Adrenalin August red software (don’t tick factory reset)
- Everything works great.

August Blue works great on Pro 555. Just ReLive screen recordings ain't working like before, with AMD SDK. Overall a brilliant job, made 2004 a bit more snappier. Thanks Matt

OK, just did the whole thing, again. Procedure: - Downloaded Win 10 64 bit from Microsoft site - Ran Boot Camp Assistant. Selected space, correct ISO. Ran the program. - Booted into Windows installation, picked Windows 10 Pro, completed the entire setup process - Installed Boot Camp software, rebooted - Went to Windows Update, downloaded all, installed, rebooted - Went straight to this site, downloaded the driver. - Extracted the driver into folder - Ran DDU and made sure no update available - Rebooted while holding shift, selected correct startup options - After reboot, selected "4" for Safe Mode, booted in - Found folder, ran DDU, followed all checkbox instructions from video on the front page of bootcampdrivers.com - Ran x 3, twice was clean and no reboot, third clean and reboot. They fully completed all 3 cycles - Booted back into W10. Ran setup.exe. Installed the driver. Rebooted. - Downloaded Steam. Downloaded Destiny 2. Launched. Initially ran, and then the first time I tried to change resolution in settings: black screen, total crash to shutdown. So, where along this process did I not follow the correct steps? You didnt run DDU in windows safe mode... Edit: No I see you did. I miss read your steps. All I can think of is putting your system in 1920x1200 native. Thats what I do. There is no sense in putting windows in native. It will scale it by default unless you put it back to 100% scale, and no game unless its an old or very low resource ask game is going to run at anything worth playing at native resolution. Im only asking my machine for 1920x1200@60fps. I have been willing to lower settings to achieve this, but it just throttles and throttles as I play after 15-20 minutes. So I keep lowering until then I have to lower the resolution scale in game where available. But I would set windows to 1920x1200 and make it 100% scale. And I asked, but who knows if he'll answer about being able to use the GPU scheduling option in windows when you are using the most current AMD driver. Did all the same procedure, still getting black screen when launching my game in 1920x1200. I tried setting Windows on a different resolution than native, it goes black screen and crashes instantly.

For those who are having split screen issues, it's fairly easy to solve. Go to Display settings, go to the selection for Multiple Displays and change it to "only on Display 1." After that, you'll then see the 4K display resolution become available for the display, which is the maximum you can get without the proper drivers, but looks great on a 5K display. There will just be a deactivated second display that doesn't cause any trouble. I haven't tested what happens if you connect another external monitor, but I'd imagine it's solvable in that case too.
The reason, I *believe* is how Apple implemented 5k. I can't find source now, but it's basically implemented as two timing devices working together. I would assume that a driver that doesn't know how to handle that sees two displays to one shared output, while a driver that does know how to handle it can combine the streams to make 5K.

So i have the MacBook Pro 16" with the 5300M. Clean installed august blue and got the black screen, fans rev up and crash after reboot and had to DDU in safe mode to come back to the January build. However. I did update the driver using Device Manager from the January Blue to the August Blue and all is working well! It even shows the new version number... thou i dont dare to reboot...  But eventually i will have to try that too  Edit: Reboot worked. So i guess this is a workaround? Did you try changing Windows Resolution to a non native one? Or launching a game in 1920x1200 or other non native res? Successfully installing the drivers doesn’t mean they work well. In fact I successfully installed both red and blue August drivers and was able to reboot and use Windows with no issue. But I have black screen and Windows crash when changing from native res to 1920x1200 or other or when launching game in 1920x1200. |

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 was getting the black screen of death on my 2019 16” MBP with 8GB 5500M on both the April and August drivers but finally got it to work following this method. Thanks for posting this and saving my sanity! |
