Hi, I have a MacBook Pro from late 2017 with a Radeon Pro 560 graphics card. I notice the performance drops significantly during GPU-heavy tasks on Bootcamp Windows. I read that unofficial AMD drivers from sites like www.bootcampdrivers.com can improve graphics and even enable overclocking. I’m unsure which version to install because compatibility details are unclear. I tried Adrenelin November and September Edition, but both caused a black screen with only my cursor visible after logging in, and the card was incorrectly detected as Radeon RX 560. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I own the identical MacBook Pro model you mentioned and I’m using Windows 10 Version 1909 via Boot Camp to run games with those specialized drivers. They function excellently. Visit this forum thread: https://bootcampdrivers.freeforums.net/t...-available. Pick the top option (Version A - V2). Also, remove your existing drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). In Windows Settings, go to Apps and uninstall the current AMD software. While holding Shift, click Restart, then select Advanced, choose Startup Settings (adjust startup behavior), hold Option if needed, and restart back into Windows. Press the Safe Mode button and Windows will boot. Use DDU (included with the driver you extracted) to select GPU, AMD, and click Clean and Restart. Hold Option again when prompted and boot into Windows. After logging in, disconnect from the internet quickly, then run the installer from the folder you downloaded. Continue as usual. Restart once more and everything should be fine. On my setup, the first restart displayed a black screen during shutdown, but forcing shutdown by holding the power button followed by rebooting resolved the issue.
