According to the release notes, the new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.3.1 driver adds support for DOOM Eternal and Half-Life: Alyx, as well as adds support for Ghost Recon Breakpoint running on Vulkan API.
According to AMD, the new driver should provide up to five percent higher performance on Radeon RX 5700XT in Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare settings and 1080p resolution, when compared to the previous driver release.
In addition to game optimizations, the new driver also adds support for new Vulkan API extensions, including VK_EXT_post_depth_coverage, VK_KHR_shader_non_semantic_info, VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment, and VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_cache_control.
