Thanks Mat! Just to clarify, you would like us (2020 5700XT users) to try this one out? Or you have a slightly different version for us to try out coming soon. Tried out the red ones first (i have 5700 not the XT). they installed fine, but crashed with a reboot when I ran the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark. Switched to blue and that worked without crashing. Though interestingly, it performed a little worse than Win10-Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-Oct-iMac-2020-BootCamp-VersionMod-Edition on the Time Spy benchmark. Thanks for the updated drivers. |

I tried the Nov Red and Blue versions and compared them to the Apple provided 19.50 drivers. I have a 2020 10 core iMac with the 5700XT GPU
All installed properly using the DDU software and the setup.exe. The Red version will only work at 4K. The Red version appeared to run the fans more, but not at a constant full speed like previous versions
I ran a few benchmarks:
Apple drivers:
Time Spy. 6206
Heaven Extreme preset FPS 106. Score 2670
Nov Blue
Time Spy. 6221
Heaven Extreme preset. FPS 108 Score 2720
Nov Red
Time Spy. 6316
Heaven Extreme preset. FPS 106.7 Score 2689
I plan to leave the Nov Blue drivers installed for now

I installed the Red Version on the 2020 iMac 27 inch, 5500xt. At first the resolution seems to be a little bit weird but it can be fixed on the screen config, 3840x2160 is the higher resolution i could pick. Finally i could play warzone on my iMac pretty well, the fans sound a little bit noisy but i used to play on ps4 so fan noise isn't a problem at all. Thanks for the update Mat!!

Try Blue edition if you want native 5K. |

Yesterday I installed the 20.11.2 WHQL RED Edition over the existing driver from last November or December following Standard Procedure. I have the native resolution in Windows 10 1909 set to "1/4 5K" (or whatever name/acronym they're calling it this week), i.e., 2650 x 1440. Every game I've played so far is working well with the render resolution set the same as the system. I was able to significantly bump up the graphic settings in several games with either no change or noticeably better framing rates. So far so good. The only weird thing I ran into was the monitor setting in Halo 4. Perhaps I just missed it the first time I configured the game but the name of the monitor is "APPAE26 [1]". Never saw that one before. All of the other games I tested have the usual (and correct) name which for some odd reason escapes me at the moment.  Modern Warfare was the first thing I wanted to try but that last little 200MB-ish update a week or so ago broke the game. When I try to scan and repair the game files it goes into a loop; every time it finishes the scan it just starts over again. I'll post more info to my Vega 48 Success thread as it becomes available. I may have to start downloading Modern Warfare again tonight.  |

Crashes on install on mac pro 2013 d700: 1) I tried to update from 20.11.1 alpha and got a black screen crash 2) I cleaned old drivers with ddu and installed from scratch and got a crash with vertical lines. In 2) it appears it did install the driver when I rebooted after the crash (at least radeon settings is installed) but I'm pretty sure this one won't be stable. Edit: used blue version
Thanks for testing out this build. The last bootcamp build that worked for my was was the November 2019 release so I doubt AMD will ever properly support the D700 again. Even AMD's own bootcamp drivers crash with the D700 www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/apple-boot-camp . |

Weird, my FPS was amazing and the gameplay was so smooth on COD Modern Warfare using October Blue Edition on my Macbook Pro 2019 (Vega 20). But when playing the COD Cold War beta, the game was completely unplayable as the graphics were stuttering like crazy.
Then I tried the November Alpha Blue edition and the game was playable, but not getting as high FPS. I have to throttle all settings to the lowest graphics possible in order to play. Even then, it still stutters during high combat situations.
This newest 20.11.2 WHQL edition actually performs worse than the Alpha, so I must stick with Alpha for now...
Could it be because of the way I installed the 20.11.2 WHQL? I'm not sure what the instructions meant by installing on top of the stock Bootcamp drivers without uninstalling with DDU. If I was already running the Alpha edition, wouldn't I have to uninstall with DDU to revert back to the stock Bootcamp drivers? And then from there, I should just install 20.11.2 WHQL through device manager?

DELETE any old installed driver folders. Don't use the device manager method. |

DELETE any old installed driver folders. Don't use the device manager method. I second this...Another thing I noticed is after a clean install, and updating drivers from bootcamp to Matt’s, or using the official 20.10 driver - offered the best performance. I think after installing many drivers over the course of a few months caused the FPS to drop slightly, that and probably the PC getting bloated. A clean install always does great things on my FPS lol |

DELETE any old installed driver folders. Don't use the device manager method. So I did everything as you instructed. Uninstalled drivers with DDU 3x on safe mode, restarted, then installed 20.11.2 WHQLusing setup.exe with factory reset checked. As it starts installing the drivers, it causes a lot of black screen glitches and system freezes (similar to what it did doing the device manager method, although I forgot to mention it). Once the AMD setup says that the installation is complete, I press the restart button but the screen hangs and freezes on a black screen to where I have to force reboot with the power button. Then once booted back up and trying COD Cold War again, the game stutters like crazy and is not playable. I've tried doing a clean install with both Red and Blue version. Same results. Only thing giving me best results is doing a clean install of October Blue edition, then installing Alpha edition on top through Device Manager (as the setup.exe doesn't work on the clean install). Again, i'm running Macbook Pro 2019 Vega 20 and my windows is completely up-to-date. |

The latest driver works great on my iMac 2020 / i9-10C / 128 Gb RAM / 5700XT. Awesome! First driver that didn't cause my iMac any harm or issues  This is what I did: 1) Clean Win10 20H2 2) Installed setup.exe 3) Choose Reset Driver (probably doesn't mean anything as no AMD driver were present) 4) First installer stage caused my screen to switch into "VGA" mode and then restart 5) After reboot, the second stage caused my mouse to drop out - used keyboard to reboot 6) After reboot, the installer completed. Screen default to wide "4k" (don't remember the res) 7) On last reboot, I was able to configure 4K resolution at 3840 x 2160 8) I did another reboot and the screen resolution was remembered, which wasn't the case with all prior Bootcamp drivers I played a few games for like 3-4 hours without any problems: Star Wars Battlefield II (latest) Star Wars Fallen Order Star Wars Squadrons Red Dead Redemption 2 No issues so far! |
