Device manager update instructions

Begin with stock official Apple BootCamp drivers installed (do not uninstall with DDU or use setup.exe). If you have January edition installed on your MacBook Pro 16" then you can start with these drivers instead.
Open 'Device Manager' (search for it in the search box) and select your GPU from the 'Display adaptors' drop-down.
Right-click and select "Update driver"
Select "Browse my computer for drivers" (lower option) and navigate to the downloaded drivers folder. Make sure the 'Include subfolders' checkbox is ticked then click 'Next'.
The driver will now update with the screen flickering a couple of times.
To install the AMD software run "setup.exe" from the downloaded driver folder. Click on "Additional Options". Make sure the "Factory reset" checkbox is NOT ticked (it isn't by default normally), then click install.
Restart and enjoy!

I tried this twice, using DDU to uninstall drivers, reboot and install Red on my 2018 MacBook Pro with a Radeon Pro 560X.

Upon reboot I just get a black screen.

DDU to uninstall drivers and it boots back up.

I tried the Blue drivers this time and same thing. Black screens. However I notice that if I keep my dock unplugged (which has two external 4K monitors) it will boot and show on internal screen. As soon as I plug in dock, screen flashes and it completely freezes.

Force power down and restart. DDU to uninstall and then proceed to install Dec 2020 (Red) package. Everything worked as expected with that release. Dock with two monitors instantly show when plugged in.

Here is my experience on 5700XT iMac (up until now I had the red drivers since the blue ones made my mac crash upon boot)

I simply installed blue over my old red ones
- mac boots up and works normally
- 5k resolution now available
- AC Valhalla now shows up normally on my screen and not with massive black bars
- performance in game is much more stable
- mac does not crash sporadically

Best release ever

Hello, everyone, I installed all the drivers correctly in 2004, and I can actually light up the screen when EGPU is connected to the external display, and it works normally. However, if the computer is not restarted after uninstalling EGPU last time, it will always be stuck in the LOGO interface of Windows and turn around indefinitely. Is there any relevant solution

Was using the Dec 2020 blue drivers, but it was giving me stretch screen/low resolution. Gave the Jan 2021 blue drivers a try hoping to resolve those issues but it gave me a blank screen on initial boot. After a forced shutdown and a second boot it works as normal.

- Did a clean DDU driver uninstall in Safe Mode
- Currently using a iMac 27" 5k (2017) with an AMD 580

Tried a second round of reinstalling the same Jan 2021 blue drivers but same issue occured.

Also having a black-screen issue with red drivers. After restarting, black screen as windows loads. Had to go to safe mode and DDU and revert back to December 2020 Red. 2018 macbook pro w/560x as well.

Laptop: Macbook Pro 16 i9 5500m 4gb
OS: Windows 10 Pro version 20H2

I updated from base bootcamp drivers through device manager.
At the end i got update failed but the driver was changed i couldn't update it again through same folder.
I installed the driver through setup and restarted.
Games seem to play well, but my external monitor (connected with type-c to displayport cable) is now stuck on 60hz and i can't change it to 165hz that i normally play. Choices are 59.9 and 60 hz only.

Should I remove now with DDU, install bootcamp driver again and try with device manager update?
Or i remove with DDU install January version and update from that?

Thanks in advance

Would the OC work for radeon pro 580 with this driver? (even at cost of relive etc.)

Installed Red Jan 2021 over Red Dec 2020 without DDU and seems to be running fine on 5700 iMac. Had what seemed like occasional instability with Dec particularly with Monster Hunter. Will monitor to see if it occurs again.

I never managed to solve it by updating from base bootcamp drivers with device manager technique (neither right click -> install on .inf file)

So i did:
Triple DDU
Install January 2020 drivers with reset
Right click -> install on january 2021 inf
Run Jan 2021 setup with reset deselected

Now it works like a charm, thanks Mat!

For some reason these drivers caused many issues for me. During installation when the drivers were installed I got black screen and had to restart, after restarting I got another back screen. Finally I got into windows. After this I checked AMD software and the tuning tab was gone (why is this?). I then plugged in my second display and that crashed the drivers completely and I black screened. Now I'm in this endless cycle of black screening when plugging in the external display.
Should I re-install December 2020 drivers or should I just re-install these drivers and see if something happened during the installation?

Just installed Blue drivers on my iMac w/5700XT. 5K shows up as an option when you first check Display resolution but if you choose it it forces 4k (3840 x 2160) and the option for 5k disappears.
