Known issues

Updated 21/04/2023

• Modern drivers only work with the following graphics cards (due to AMD removing support for older cards):
  * Radeon 450, 455, 460 Pro
  * Radeon 550, 555, 560 Pro and X variants
  * Radeon 5300, 5500, 5600, 5700 Pro and M/XT variants
  * All Vega cards
  * All modern eGPUs manufactured from 2016 onwards (including Radeon VII)
  * WX workstation graphics (use August 2021 edition and up for W6800X and W6900X compatibility)


• Radeon 5600M users please use April 2022 edition as the latest working version.



• 2020 edition (January, March & April) do not work with Trashcan Mac Pros. If you have issues please use November 2019 edition. Updating via device manager to August edition may work for you.


• There may be issues with Netflix not working properly.


• Using an eGPU can cause the internal screen to not work when connected to an external monitor. There are numerous ways to go about troubleshooting this, please seek assistance from eGPU community forums.


• Overclocking may not work for many graphics cards and driver versions. MSI Afterburner beta versions may fix this issue temporarily.
​
• Eyefinity may not work properly on recent drivers.


• For a small number of users the setup may not detect your graphics card. This is likely due to Display Driver Uninstaller failing to completely clean out the old drivers.
  Please try running it more than once, or try using AMD's uninstall utility.


• If the Radeon ReLive overlay recording software is not working, please try installing the OpenCL SDK provided with the download. Some graphics cards have never worked with ReLive however.
​
• Users of MacBook Pros with 5600M, 5500M, 5300M can suffer from thermal throttling which leads to reduced fps in longer gaming sessions.
  Please google 'MacBook Pro VRM mod' and follow the instructions for a permanent fix (warning this is for experts only!)

Compatibility

Note: to ensure maximum compatibility, ensure Windows is updated to the latest version (with all security patches) before installation.

The drivers for Windows 10 are compatible with Pro, Home, Enterprise & N editions.

External eGPU support is widely supported for most eGPUs including BlackMagic.
You do NOT need to use these drivers if you have integrated graphics only (e.g. most Mac Mini and 13 inch MacBook Pro models). AMD's PC drivers from their website should work fine instead for your eGPU.

Remember: The newest driver release isn't always the most stable, and may have less fully-working features than an older version.
