AMD Radeon Adrenaline 2020 Edition 20.3.1

Support for

• DOOM Eternal: Achieve up to 5% better performance playing Doom Eternal (Ultra Nightmare setting) at 1920x1080p on the Radeon RX 5700 XT with Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.3.1, compared to Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2. RS-333
• Half-Life: Alyx
• Ghost Recon Breakpoint: Vulkan API

Added support for Vulkan

• VK_EXT_post_depth_coverage: This extension indicates support for shader modules that use the SPV_KHR_post_depth_coverage extension. Chunk shaders using the SPV extension can control whether the built-in SampleMask input variable reflects coverage after applying depth and stencil tests. This extension is only supported on AMD RDNA hardware.
• VK_KHR_shader_non_semantic_info: This extension indicates support for shader modules that use the SPV_KHR_non_semantic_info extension. Shader modules that use the SPV extension can include non-semantic instructions that can be safely removed from the module.
• VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment: This extension provides a mechanism to query the alignment requirements for storage and uniform texel buffers that cannot communicate well through minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment.
• VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_cache_control: This extension provides indicators that can be used by an application to inquire about the potential high cost that could be incurred during pipeline creation. The information can be obtained before the create operation is carried out, allowing the application to adjust its behavior accordingly.

Problems solved

• Frame skipping or choppy audio may be experienced in videos captured with Radeon ReLive.
• Some games may experience stuttering when using Instant Replay or third-party applications that stream or take screenshots.
• Hotkeys may not apply to scenes in the ReLive scene editor when the scene has a custom name.
• Webcam items may not appear on the screen when a custom location is set during ReLive recording.
• AMD A-Series / E-Series APU processors will reflect older UI from Radeon Software's Adrenalin 2019 Edition configuration
• Zero RPM toggle may fail on restart or appear when you disable advanced fan tuning options in Performance Tuning.
• The Radeon software can shut down automatically when a live stream starts or stops.
• The desktop cursor may intermittently remain visible after toggling the Radeon Software overlay in some games.
• Red Dead Redemption 2 may experience a blank screen when launched using the Vulkan API.
• Radeon software may experience an application hang, or a system TDR may occur, when VRAM reaches 8GB or more with HBCC enabled on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.
• DOOM may experience an intermittent system crash or app crash during gameplay.
• Space Engineers can experience an app or crash during gameplay when Grass Density is on.
• A system hang or black screen can occur when exiting SteamVR with multi-screen system configurations.
• Monster Hunter World: Iceborne may underperform in some areas of the game on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
• Video playback may show corruption in interlaced content in movies and TV on Ryzen 3000 with Radeon graphics processors.
• PassMark may experience an application crashing on some Ryzen with Radeon graphics processors.
• On older Radeon RX Vega and discrete GPUs and APUs, enabling integer display scaling could result in lower frame rates.
• The integer display scale may not be shown as available in Radeon software on some GCN-based GPUs.

Known issues

• Enhanced sync may cause a black screen to appear when enabled in some games and system settings. Any user who may have problems with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a workaround.
• The Performance Metric Overlay and Radeon WattMan incorrectly report idle clock speeds higher than expected on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Performance and power consumption are not affected by this incorrect report.
• Radeon software may open with an inconsistent window size or may not maintain its previously set size when opened.
• Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider can cause the FPS to hang at 30.
• Some games may exhibit intermittent stuttering during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
• Corruption on desktop or in game can occur intermittently when HDR is enabled.
• Radeon RX Vega series graphics products may experience a system hang or TDR when playing games with Instant Replay enabled. A workaround for users experiencing these issues is to disable instant playback.
• You may experience a system crash or crash when using the Edge browser to play Netflix content.
• Some users may still experience black screen or system hang issues during prolonged periods of gaming. AMD will continue to monitor and investigate reports of these issues closely.
