Since the old one was for 2019 drivers, I suppose there could be a new one up to date.

Radeon Software 20.5.1 for Windows 7 & 10 out, includes support for May 2020 Update so WDDM 2.7?

Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.5.1 Highlights
Support For
  • Windows® May 2020 Update
  • AMD Link
    • Brand new AMD Link Xinput Emulation driver (AMDXE), which will improve compatibility with current and future games. This gets installed the first time game streaming starts with AMD Link and will appear as a new Xbox 360 controller in Device Manager.
Fixed Issues
  • Radeon Software may experience a crash or hang on Hybrid Graphics system configurations.
  • On a limited number of displays, launching a game may lead to an intermittent black screen that requires a system reboot to resolve.
  • Fixed an issue where AMD Link may experience random or intermittent disconnects.
  • When performing a task switch, Destiny™2 may experience an application hang or black screen.
  • Overwatch™ may experience an intermittent crash or black screen when joining a match.
  • Incorrect memory clocks may be reported in performance metrics overlay on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products.
  • Some Hybrid Graphics system configurations with Radeon RX 5500 series graphics products may experience a blue screen on driver installation.
  • High memory usage may be experienced when Instant Replay and Desktop Recording is enabled on a system and a display on the system has timed out or gone to sleep.
  • A TDR or black screen may occur when running the Vulkan test from Geekbench™5.
  • Hitching may be observed in League of Legends™ on some system configurations after performing a task switch.
  • Sniper Elite™4 may minimize when invoking Radeon Software’s overlay.
  • The standard profile in Radeon Software may become applied when the gaming profile is clicked on numerous times in quick succession.
  • Lighting corruption may be seen when moving your mouse in Grand Theft Auto™5 with Radeon Boost enabled.
  • Texture corruption may be seen in the bottom right corner of the screen when moving your mouse in Shadow of the Tomb Raider™ with Radeon Boost enabled.
  • Red Dead Redemption™2 may fail to launch in some Hybrid Graphics system configurations.
  • Memory Tuning may fail to apply on AMD Radeon VII graphics products.
  • “Unable to get requirements” error message may sometimes be displayed in the Upgrade Advisor tab.
  • GPU metrics may sometimes fail to load in the performance tab of Radeon Software.
  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™ and Control™ may experience application hangs when launched with Radeon Anti-Lag enabled.
Known Issues
  • Radeon RX Vega Series and Radeon VII graphics products may experience performance drops when Performance Metrics Overlay is open while a game is running.
  • Some game titles may experience hitching when Instant Replay is enabled on Radeon RX 5000 series system configurations.
  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
  • Using Edge™ web browser to playback video content with a multi display system configuration may cause a system hang or crash after extended periods of use.
  • 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.
  • Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products.
  • Radeon RX Vega series graphics products may experience a system crash or TDR when performing multiple task switches using Alt+Tab.
  • Desktop or In-game corruption may occur intermittently when HDR is enabled.
  • 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.

Supposedly you might get some gains if you're held back by your CPU, but in general differences are within margin of error if there is any.
(this is based on the non-serious performance tests aka forum posts)

HAGS seems to be mostly about better management of VRAM limited cases than any CPU limitations. Should provide better results on 4GB cards probably, which in AMD's case means none at the moment as the driver support only 5600 and 5700 cards.

After watching gamers nexus video on it, it seems more about offloading the cpu, with the gpu managing more stuff. For vram, I would say hbcc is already here for amd...

Have you watched the video ? His whole point was "for now it does nothing, except performance degradation due to a bug un rdr2". Give it time. Or at least be honest when you put a screenshot here.

I haven't watched the whole video but the graphs clearly show that there's about zero gain in CPU limited scenarios. While there are a lot of evidence where HAGS help in VRAM limited scenarios. Hence my original comment. Is there any evidence to the contrary that you can provide?
 
Watch the video for context and explanations.

EDIT : I'm not saying we don't/won't see improvements with memory management, but the main goal seems to me to go easy on the cpu, as it is explained in the video (with quotes from MS). It's just way too soon to see right now.
 
Again: do you have any evidence to back up what you're saying?

Don't tell me to watch a video for "explanations" - I know perfectly well what HAGS is supposed to be doing without them.
 
New drivers out (thanks @digitalwanderer )

confirmed by a bunch of commentators on my youtube channel: Radeon cards from GCN to latest can do Dolby Digital encoding in realtime over HDMI with official driver, as long as the dolby APO driver is installed. While Nvidia needs modded driver but for very few cases, the official driver also work (still not sure what's the cause).
 
[not only the driver is out/available] but also... [a bunch of Radeon cards] is out [but here: out of the supported tier] -- that was what I meant. Sorry, english is not my native language.
 
Windows update have radeon driver version 30.0.13000.22008

thats 3 main version higher than on the latest driver available on amd website: adrenaline 21.7.1 = driver ver 27.20.22017.1004
