I had some bugs with NUC8i7HVK, (triple monitor only supported 30hz, no HDR, record with AMD software result green screen etc). Actually I highly recommend you staying on the officially supported version (20.4.1 currently) and not installing the modified driver, if not for a special need. This does not mean the modified driver works 100% or will work for future versions. If you update Windows to a new build, the AMD driver will be rollback to a signed version, and you have to reinstall your modified version after the upgrade. And I tried using DirectML (over DirectX 12) in Linux using WSL, it also works on Vega M! I tried a few lightweight games it worked well. In this mode, you can install this modified driver successfully, and restart your Windows into normal mode after. Since you changed the driver files and broke the signature, you have to Advanced Restart Windows into a special mode and disable driver signature checking. Use your favorite code compare/diff tool to compare the following 3 files under the two driver folders: “Config/InstallManifest.json” and “C0356156.inf” & “U0356156.inf” in “Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\”Īdding Vega M related parts from files of 20.4.1 to the files of the new version (search “694c” the Device ID for Vega M)ģ. Run 20.4.1 & new version installers at least once, and the decompressed files will be under subfolders of each version in C:\AMD.Ģ. The AMD preview driver is 20.20.01.05, and does not support Vega M as expected.īut I really wanted to try this feature, and decided try my crazy little idea I had for a while now: manually edit the driver files to some how enable this driver to be installed & used on Vega M.Īt least two parts you need to edit: the display driver itself, and the hardware checking in the installer. Until last week, Microsoft released GPU compute support for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), along with Intel/AMD/NVIDIA releasing preview drivers for this feature. And I stuck at this version for like 3 months now. I’m glad Intel is now officially supporting these drivers too so even those who thought the drivers from AMD’s website could be incompatible in some way have the peace of mind to try them out.Īs had mentioned, drivers after 20.4.1 cannot be installed. I guess some people had issues with the installation process although it seems that in many of these cases the user hadn’t done it properly (uninstall current AMD driver preferably with an app that scans for letfovers, reboot, install new AMD drivers). While me and some others have recommended these drivers to Hades Canyon owners, many have been hesitant to try them out, even with the knowledge that AMD had included Hades Canyon support in the release notes. I’ve never had any issues with them or at least nothing that wasn’t appearing with other graphics cards. Started using them when I saw a comment on reddit about AMD including official support for Hades Canyon in the release notes for their latest Radeon driver. Well I’ve been using the Radeon drivers from AMD’s website for a year now with my HVK-variant of Hades Canyon. I don’t have a Hades Canyon anymore at my disposal but if you do, it’d be great to hear about your experience with the new drivers in the comments section below! There should be both performance and stability improvements compared to the previous Intel-branded driver. Some Hades Canyon owners have been installing AMD branded drivers for their GPUs before with varying success but now AMD lists the Radeon RX Vega M as officially supported. This is a U-turn from Intel’s earlier policy of providing an Intel-verified Radeon driver for the Hades Canyon. Of course Intel hasn’t actually released any driver here but instead they provide a direct link to AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 64 Drivers & Support page and tell you to install the driver provided by AMD. However, recently Intel has released a “ driver update” on their Download Center website for the Hades Canyon. Previous driver from Intel was released back in January 2019, so that’s a bit of a gap there. This probably explains why there has not been too much driver updates for Hades Canyon lately. Since that Intel has decided to kill off this line of CPUs and focus on their own Xe GPUs. This is because rather surprisingly Intel decided to equip these NUCs with a Kaby Lake-G GPU that was packaged with a fairly powerful Radeon RX Vega M GPU. The Hades Canyon NUC debuted back in 2018 and it remains the most powerful NUC for gaming.
