Kaby Lake-G drivers, it's happening...

Bryce_Intel — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 02:03:53 GMT

Looong overdue and we know that's not right, so, we've been working hard on correcting this. It's been a long road to get new drivers for Radeon™ RX Vega M (codenamed Kaby Lake-G) and we're now dotting and crossing the last of the i's and t's to make it happen. I've been given a loose schedule and if all looks good, we should have the next driver mid to late July and posted soon after! After this next release it should follow a regular cadence. Stay tuned for more info if I get any before the release.

Keenly waiting!

So, it's already the end of July, and there are still no promised drivers. Another divorce? 🤔

Oh well. If anyone is interested Google for "hades-Vegam" and check out the unofficial drivers released via github

August 6th now... any update on this? Last I read the driver was working, there were just some small issues with the file... why is this taking so long? 😞

We are waiting for an explanation from @Bryce_Intel.

From the outside, all this looks like some kind of mockery of all those who bought this misunderstanding called Intel NUC Hades Canyon 😡 Even ordinary users have long learned to modify the latest AMD drivers so that they work on Hades Canyon too 🙄

Hello folks! I'm in a different role here in Intel now, but didn't want to leave ya hanging so I checked in with the ol' team and they're still working on this so don't fret. It's still taking time with the i's and t's, apparently the coordination between two companies isn't always quick and simple if you can believe it. Rest assured we do actually have the driver in our hands within Intel and it's being validated and prepped so that when we do get the green light from the powers that be, we can just click the release button. I know it's been a journey, but the good stuff is just within sight so thanks for your patience! I can't wait either!

Ok everyone. You heard Bryce. He has excaped the confines of graphics support. So, all of us can remove his photo from our dart boards and replace his photo with the Intel logo.

I'll be at close look, for this post, even closer for driver release and test. Because ... well ... I've tried every **bleep** version of driver available, downloaded from Intel, Dell (XPS 9575), let Windows Update the driver and even the latest hacked versions for Intel NUC Hades from github.

All versions of drivers I've tried, are unstable. Even on fresh Win10 Pro install (tested on 2004 and 20H2). I get "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered" all the time, even when system is idling. Sometimes there are several errors in a row, eventually the system becomes unresponsive for minutes and you have to hard reboot.

@Bryce_Intel, I agree to enter in the Insider program, like MS has for its OS, to test your beta version.

I'd love to see proof that you have this driver. There is a suspicion that you are simply fooling your users. If there really is a driver, then post at least a beta version. What are the problems I don't understand?

At least let us know what version you are working on (if this is a true at all).

I'm sure they don't have any driver, and all this time no one even tried to optimize it for devices with a Kaby Lake-G processor. They can't just go ahead and declare that they don't care about anyone who bought their Kaby Lake-G devices. Therefore, they decided to play for time until the official warranty on their devices with a Kaby Lake-G processor expired.
