Folding Forum

I saw the AMD blogpost on the folding@home twitter feed & it says:

Please ensure that you have the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2 version or later installed if you’re running a system equipped with Radeon graphics.

I'm currently running 19.20 on an RX 480 and it's nice and stable.
Does anyone have any comparative figures for 20.4.2?

• Is it faster?
• Is it stable?

Thanks in advance.

I do not know more than AMD does about AMD Drivers. I doubt anyone does.

A number of other posters have found the version 19 drivers more stable than the early iterations of version 20. There have been a number of problematic releases, especially for persons doing folding. I don't recall any posts that there was any speed improvement.

If you had a Vega gpu then you may be interested.
Fixed Issues: Radeon RX Vega series graphics products may experience a system hang or black screen when running Folding@Home while also running an application using hardware acceleration of video content.
On my FuryX they are just ok I'm no longer seeing crashes folding a project with more than 165k Atoms. Oddly now Projects with 28k Atoms takes 2 hours longer to complete than ones over 300k lol
Since you're not having any issues I'd stick with whats working.

Thanks all. I'll stick with what I've got for the time being.
