Hi,

I had a quick question regarding the drivers for the 2020 iMacs. I'm using standard Bootcamp drivers right now and am getting pretty decent performance. I see that the Blue drivers are recommended for my model iMac, but I'm interested in also getting as much performance out of my Mac as possible. Are the Red drivers a complete No-No for my model or are there just some know issues regarding using it currently on the new Macs?

Thanks for the assist!

The current RED drivers with the 2020 iMac have so issues in some games. I have the 5700 XT model and Warzone gives weird texture glitches on random bits or geometry sometimes, but it runs great. Some Unreal Engine based games have full-on driver crashes sometimes though. I play Sea of Thieves and the driver just randomly crashes in that game, sometimes after a few minutes, other times only after a few hours of play and there is no clear trigger. Requires a full reboot of the iMac to get them working again.
I'm hoping the November edition of the RED river will solve some of this. For now I've switched back to the official Bootcamp drivers a few days ago. Less performance (still very decent) and no tweaks, but it's super stable.

Alpha edition is available, but it seems that it is showing a failure during the installation process. I have the iMac 2020 5500xt

I am finding the Bootcampdrivers are pretty good but I'm super interested to have these drivers be stable considering they improve performance further. Ill definitely keep an eye on this moving forward.
