Topic: Problem with GPU acceleration with new AMD graphics driver (20.5.1)

It's a long time ago that i visited the forum. I use a Laptop with a AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 3500U. After the update to the new AMD graphics driver (20.5.1), the APU ( Vega 8 graphics) seems to have problems with the GPU acceleration in SVP. It just gives a very distorted image.  As I was still using SVP  3.1.7 I thougth it may be that after all this time it's normal that it does not work anymore. So I tested the SVP 4 demo version but it also have the same problem.

Safe mode -> DDU -> Install again -> Test

The problem is solved. I installed the previous driver which show the same behavior. I deleted the graphics driver and reinstalled the new one. This also did not work. But after a Bios update the problem is gone.

Yes, notebook BIOSes indeed contain vBIOS part inside as well as other firmwares so apparently the older vBIOS contained some bugs or lacked compatibility dependencies with newer drivers/features.
