They're currently November drivers with the more current drivers having issues. There's also challenges to install. Give it a little time & the bugs should be handled out. I haven't seen any benefits yet, but had serious issues with my install.
 
That was my post over at bootcampdrivers. (I've also posted a similar one on here.) Seeing as this seems to be a popular demand, I'll begin recording capturing specific games. Any requests? So far I can tell you that the Pro Vega 64 seems quite promising. Using that driver it can at least run my favorite games at 4k+ resolution and high settings.

(Also any idea on what software wouldn't alter performance while recording? :) )
 
Coming from an Nvidia world, ShadowPlay had minimal impact.

I assumed AMD's ReLive did a similar thing, but have no experience at all gaming with AMD.

Some speculation that T2 chip might not like unofficial drivers. Unconfirmed but would be ...interesting if true.

Can try metal gear solid V / the evil within 2 / battlefield 1 / elite sniper 4 and some racing game
Like forza motorsports 7 please? Please try at 1440p 4K and 5k.

It was a possible thought I had but disabling secure boot in Windows 10 made no difference (which I THINK bypasses this chip).

These particular drivers are proving very challenging to get working. Almost as difficult as the M395 and M395X (but that took nearly a year before AMD released something workable with those cards). Oh and need I forget about error 32 for M290 and M390 which didnt get solved by AMD for TWO YEARS after I submitted reports for ages and ages.
 
Update: Finally cracked it. A hybrid version of 17.11.4 is working great according to early feedback (minus one or two minor bugs in Crimson software).
