AMD has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3 driver adds support for AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors with Radeon Vega Graphics and improves performance in DiRT Rally 2.0.
Going into more details, the AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.3 driver improves average performance by up to 10% for AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors with Radeon Vega Graphics, by up to 17% in eSports games for AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors with Radeon Vega Graphics, and by up to 3% in DiRT Rally 2.0 on a Radeon RX Vega 64.
This driver also fixes the character outlines that could appear stuck on screen after being revived in Battlefield 5, a loss of video when launching a fullscreen player application with Radeon FreeSync enabled, as well as fan speeds remaining elevated for longer periods than expected when using Tuning Control Auto Overclock or manual fan curve in Radeon WattMan on AMD Radeon VII.
Those interested can download this new driver from here and you can find below its complete changelog.

ONE OF My biggest regret in all my 35 years was purchasing a Vega 64, 2 months ago. All i wanted to do was leave Nvidia behind and never support that slime ball of a company, but instead now i’m stuck with a Sapphire Vega 64 that BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH. I can’t even RMA the card because i watercooled it. Even though the Black Screen Of Death is a rampant complaint on All AMB forums and negative reviews all over the place. I so wanted to call AMD my new home because i have no plans of ever supporting Scumvidia. But this is what happens when all we have are 2 players in the market. We can thank the fanboys for this actually. Tisk Tisk…
But.. but.. AMD cares about every customer individually. Why don’t you write them how Nvidia #MeToo you? I bet they send you brand new GPU. You know special needs kids get better support. ?
I wonder who pays you. The biggest propaganda I remember in gpus has always been Nvidia going back to the days of Voodoo and Matrox. They try the same tactics that was employed by whoever didn’t want Mozilla and Firefox to be the next thing after the masses figured out they don’t have to use that browser built-in into their systems. It worked then because Mozilla are Mozilla and it didn’t work with AMD because they’ve been doing the exact right things to get back in the game both in CPU and GPU. This Pro-Nvidia anti-AMD campaign will fail and it is already failing. Nice try though.
That’s why I never modify a GPU. GPUs in general just aren’t reliable enough, from Nvidia or AMD (honestly though AMDs seem to be more durable these days)
The only real issues I’m finding online with the 64 happen when not supplying the card with enough power. Sure your PSU is up to snuff? Tried another one?
Yeah, I’m pushing 850 Watt psu, everything was fine up until 2 weeks. I’m not gonna risk buying another PSU to try and solve this type of issue, ESPECIALLY when this same problem have exists since forever it seems and many have tried replacing pSU’s and it made no difference. Thanks for the incite though. I’ve tried it all man. Not modifying a GPU for watercooling is waste of time/investment. That shrouds the cards come with are a joke and couldn’t cool the antartica even they try. Sapphire just want to be that type of company is all, and usually don’t have this problem with Asus, especially when this is an issue all over the forums my dude. But win some and some in lose.
Even a high watt PSU can die, that’s all I’m saying. PSUs are known to only last a few years (or even months in some instances).
If you grab one that’s returnable, it’s easily worth just plugging one in to see if it fires up.
My particular card is a Vega 56, it doesn’t throttle or anything so a upgraded cooler wouldn’t do me any good, but I can see some situations where it would. I went the undervolt route instead of overclocking though…
