New Radeon Update 19.12.2

Oh boy.... wasn't aware it was going to be totally different!
Not the biggest fan of this new software.... guess I'll just have to warm to it.

I hate how on the Performance Tab - Power usage - You can't more accurately see how much you are pulling.

Hmm
Be warned Radeon owners.
Make sure you remember any undervolt frequencies. You'll lose them all and it resets.

I'm uninstalling this update. Causes my PC to crash due to ATI driver issue.

Hi Chooka03

Well AMD Graphics Division are not helping themselves are they, a bad update, and needing to do stuff to your Graphics Card before you can use it, ie undervolt.

They really need to head over to their CPU Division and see how to do things right.

Then there is the OpenCL problem with the new XT5700's that are causing bad results at a few BOINC projects.

Hope things look up for them.

Cheers

I wasn't aware anyone had any 5700XT's working with BOINC. I knew there were issues. One of the downsides in being a first adopter of new hardware :)

FWIW, it was using Whocrashed which told me the crashes were due to a ATI driver. Since rolling back to 19.9.2 all stable again.

I'll just stick with 19.9.2.

Thanks for the warning Chooka. 

For me the best AMD driver was version 19.10.1. After installation I finally stopped getting those constant driver crashes and the Radeon VII has pretty much been going good ever since. 

LOL hopefully it stays that way.
