Any Problems with Radeon's Adrenalin Edition v19.9.1

If you were having lag or slow pauses. Of general performance issues. Try turning off HDCP Support. For someone you that use this setting you may or may not have issues. As for me turning this off worked and has solved my issues. The HDCP works only with digital connections and involves encrypting the data as it travels between devices. Each device must support HDCP and thus be able to encrypt or decrypt the data, depending on the device's purpose. The point of HDCP is to stop users from connecting a playback device to a recording device to copy content without permission. Credit for this information can be found at techwalla.com. More information about this setting and it's issue can also be found on AMD community forum just search HDCP. Thanks to all that provided feedback about this issue.

Well it looks like people reported issues with the Radeon Software Adrenaline v19.9.1 drivers. So AMD now has v19.9.2 available to download for Windows.

This time I’m avoiding these. The only reason is due to AMD still stating NOT SUPPORTED for Apple’s BootCamp running systems. That’s all models of Mac!!

Be them prebuilt to order internally like the MacBook Pro, iMac Pro, iMac, Mac Mini and the soon to be released 2020 cheese grater Mac Pro. Of course this is the same for the trash can Mac Pros and the legacy cheese grater Mac Pro’s. be them after market add in GPUs or add on eGPUs.

Regarding Cheese grater Mac Pro’s

2012 and older (Legacy Macs) UEFI

2013 and newer EFI

Regardless of the Mac model. If you’re using a AMD graphics card with BootCamp expect to experience issues. 

Because there’s no support provided for BootCamp’s usage. I find it bizarre that AMD has this stated about BootCamp. As if AMD is saying they don’t plan on continuing support for BootCamp.

Because it’s not working for many that use AMD graphics cards on their Macs. Especially Legacy ones. Meanwhile Apple has this information listed regarding drivers. Especially AMD ones.

So basically there’s a contradiction from AMD side. Perhaps they need to update there notes? Or is this a statement to let Apple users know there’s absolutely zero support if issues occur while in Windows due to BootCamp?

Then this statement effects all Apple Mac computers that use AMD graphics. Does it not??

Well there was a issue while trying to upgrade my 2009 dual Quad Core 4,1 cMP. I managed to drop the existing Xeon processor right on the CPU slot during its heat sink’s removal.

I will opt for a replacement tray one day. For now I decided to get a 2010 cMP as a replacement. It’s already working with the previous cMP’s hardware.

What does this mean about AMD graphics found internally prebuilt in Apple’s Macs?

Looks like there a email regarding an update.

Hmm this seems to be the new normal where the Mac's way of running Windows via Boot Camp is simply put out to pasture. So if your running a legacy Mac Pro systems with a EFI Radeon GPU or a current generation Mac with Thunderbolt supported eGPU. Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition isn't supported for systems running Boot Camp.
