Quick News

Not sure if it's been mentioned but apparently code has been found in osx showing the name Navi and Ryzen code names for future CPUs and Apus. No one knows if it's Ryzen or some Apu for apple's possible upcoming gaming rig yet. Are apple about to ditch Intel?

Fixed Issues


  • Performing a task switch with some Radeon Software features enabled or some third-party applications with hardware acceleration running in the background may cause a system hang or black screen.
  • Improvements have been made that allow for more responsive fan ramp up or fan ramp down times on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay and Radeon WattMan incorrectly report lower than expected clock speeds on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products during gaming workloads.
  • When Instant Replay is enabled, a TDR or black screen may occur when launching games or applications.
  • A black screen may occur when toggling HDR on in the game settings of Battlefield™ V.
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt™ may experience an application hang or black screen during certain parts of the game or intermittently during gameplay.
  • Some video content in Chrome™ may appear as a black screen or be unresponsive on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products when hardware acceleration is enabled.
  • Metro Exodus™ may experience an application hang or TDR when choosing some specific dialogue prompts in the Sam’s Story DLC.
  • Grand Theft Auto™ V may experience an application crash when invoking Radeon Software’s overlay with third party OSD applications running.
  • Monster Hunter World™: Iceborne may experience intermittent crashes while idle or on the character creation screen.
  • Some games colors may appear washed out when HDR mode has been enabled in game and Windows® on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products
  • After a Factory Reset installation with the ‘Keep My Settings’ option chosen, Instant Replay could fail to function if it was enabled in the previous Radeon Software installation.
  • When invoking Radeon Software’s overlay while a game is open users may observe flickering in the game or in the Radeon Software interface.
  • Radeon Software may experience a crash and error message when locking Windows® or performing a sleep or hibernate with the Radeon Software Streaming tab open.
  • A loss of display with working audio may be experienced on a limited number of displays when performing a mode change on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
  • Radeon Software may fail to launch if Radeon Software’s overlay is disabled and a game is running in the background.
  • Battlefield™ V may experience an application hang or TDR after extended periods of play.
  • Some Origin™ games may fail to be detected or may detect the incorrect game title in Radeon Software.

  • Radeon FreeSync status in Radeon Software may sometimes fail to update when enabling or disabling the feature through the display itself.
  • Fortnite™ may experience an application crash on Radeon RX 500 series Hybrid Graphics system configurations.


Known Issues


  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Enhanced Sync has been temporarily disabled from the gaming profile and any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
  • Performance Metrics Overlay and Radeon WattMan incorrectly report higher than expected idle clock speeds on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Performance and power consumption are not impacted by this incorrect reporting.
  • DOOM™ may experience an intermittent system hang or application crash during gameplay.
  • Desktop cursor may intermittently remain visible after toggling Radeon Software’s overlay in some games. A workaround is to bring up the game menu or task switch to refresh the cursor.
  • A system crash or hang may occur when running the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers™ benchmark.
  • The Gaming tab in Radeon Software may display some folder locations appearing as games.
  • Radeon Software may open with an inconsistent window size or may not keep its previously set size when opened.
  • Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider may cause FPS to become locked to 30.
  • Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
  • Some games may experience stutter while using Instant Replay or third-party applications that stream or perform screen capture. A potential workaround is to disable these features or applications while gaming.
  • Although Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2 resolves many black screen issues, AMD is aware that some users may still experience black screen or system hang issues during extended periods of gameplay. AMD will continue to monitor and investigate reports of these issues closely.
  • AMD A-Series/E-Series APU Processors will reflect older Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition Settings user interface. AMD will update the user interface to the 2020 Edition in a future release.

This is incorrect.

People can't read. They said they "only" looked at the top 100 PS4 games and vast majority are already compatible. They said nothing more and nothing less. People need to pay attention. The blog post you linked says the exact same thing. Yahoo isn't a great source when the official Sony page says nothing related.

They said NOTHING about the other games not working. They are looking into those games. They've only tested 100.

I was going to write something based on Sony's blog post, but my reading of it was that their emulation tech should support these top 100 games at launch. Support could be wider, but they haven't checked yet.

I don't see this as a confirmation that only 100 PS4 games will work on PS5 at launch.

It's still not a good sign when compared to Microsoft's track record on this.

I hope that's the case. I swear someone said now they are X86 there wouldn't be these issues.

The difference is that Microsoft has been preparing for this for years, Sony hasn't. I'd bet that Sony wasn't considering PS5 backwards compatibility until way after the PS4 Pro came out.

Microsoft has been working hard to ensure that its software ecosystem was ready for this changeover. In contrast, all of the PS2 classics that I played on PS4 (and Pro) had framerate issues.

PS4/Xbox One are already x86?

Yeah that is what I mean. Apparently all future consoles were supposed to backward support all of the games. So PS5 would support PS4 etc.

Mark - yeah, the PS1 emulation on the PS2 was terrible. Not surprised they got rid of it, but it's just annoying. This is one area the PC has always been the best at. Even if you have to use DOSbox it works.

I wouldn't mind but I have built quite a collection for both consoles.

Surprised no one picked up on this

R6S will support cross-generation matchmaking. PS4 to PS5/ Xbox One to Series One
Can take your current-gen Blu Ray disc, put it in your Ps5/Series X and it'll work
Basically you do not have to buy it again.

They did not comment on anything else such as improved framerate, resolution, etc.
Worth noting though that on PS4 Pro(and I assume One X) in Terrorist Hunt the games already supports an unlocked framerate(cap at 120) so the games on console already support higher framerates. I would expect that to continue over unless they want a 60fps cap to make consoles across both gens on level footing.

Though if I spent money on a next gen console I would prefer to get the best experience from the game I could and if people stay on old tech then oh well.
Also very likely that both new controllers will support paddle buttons like the Xbox Elite does so that alone is a big advantage. Adding higher framerates for multiplayer games mine as well exist too.
