Package Contents
The Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.3 installation package contains the following:

Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.3 Driver Version 19.50.03.05 (Windows Driver Store Version 26.20.15003.5016)
 
*edit*
Changed my mind and installed and same as before Dwminit error driver crashes just launching Settings through the Windows menu. I did make a report while they were installed pasted in a couple of the errors from the crash and flagged the previous version as affected.

Back on the 19.12.1 now.

DDU'ed previous version and installed 19.12.3 with factory reset selected and restarted. Worked fine. I played a couple games for a while. It's all good so far. I still need to test others.

Am I missing something here? Ran DDU in safe mode and it picked up inf files for my old Vega card and the 5700xt. So I nuked it and ran the new installer and again I never got to choose how I wanted to install it. It installed in standard mode without asking me. Am I missing something or is it just a POS software? still no custom profile enabled.

The only option during install is an option to choose installation directory that I have found so far.

Custom profiles are under performance ---> Tuning ---> Click the three dots on the right to load/save profiles.

Under tuning is also where you add game profiles.
 
Tried and installed 19.12.3 with factory reset selected and restarted. 19.12.2 did not work with no man's sky so I had reverted to 19.12.1.

These one (19.12.3) are better. NMS is working fine for me. I need to explore the various new features
 
Weird, if the driver crashes... it tries to start to start the older driver. Which of course is not there so it kinda freaks out.

p.s. Also is there no way to start this new control panel from the start menu anymore?

That's odd. I just checked and it launched from start menu just fine.
 
Mind telling me what it is called and the directory it is opening from?
 
I really wish AMD would provide a sha256 sum for their drivers so you could check for a corrupted download with powershell's get-filehash command.

I'm talking about global graphics > graphics profile it has 4 options and the custom option is greyed out. Is it greyed out because I haven't changed anything or is it just not available. The reviews I've seen online show it as active so don't really know.

Yes, custom is unavailable until you change something. then it gets auto selected and lights up.
 
Ah so its these 2020 drivers that cause my cpu to remain pegged as far as cpu speed goes at all times even at idle. Nature of the beast I hope it is not.

Will be revisiting these 2020 drivers once AMD sorts this out for now I'll stick to 19.11.3.

did you also update your chipset drivers? Check your power plan in windows. Installing AMD drivers likes to mess with it. You have the 3700x, which uses the Ryzen power plan, however, the Ryzen power plan likes to max out the core speed at all times, so you need to either change power plans (not recommended for the 3000 series) or go in and edit the cpu settings.
 
Before i install the new 19.12.3. I had to install the latest amd chipset driver first because i rarely update my amd chipset but when I do. Also I know that install chipset driver would overwrite the AMD GPU driver. Anyway, then installed 19.12.3. Everything went smooth as far as i seen.

Diablo 3 was freezing with my Radeon VII prior this driver, after updating, it started working fine. :)
 
I started playing Witcher 2 but something wrong with keyboard controls that barely responded and HUD and game menu were disappeared. Then I had to forced closed it by the task manager. I opened up the Radeon Settings and I figured I would have to remove all the hotkeys....guess what? I was able to control to play Witcher 2 better and UI is back to normal like it should be.
