Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.6.2 Highlights
Added Vulkan™ Support

• VK_EXT_host_query_reset
  • Allows resets of queries from the host, rather than on the GPU.
• VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive
  • Gives applications explicit control over exclusive full-screen modes (this is for instance useful for HDR support).
• VK_AMD_display_native_hdr
  • Exposes FreeSync2 capabilities for improved HDR support.
• VK_EXT_separate_stencil_usage
  • Separates the usage flags for depth/stencil aspects of a depth/stencil image making it possible to restrict/expand the usage relative to the depth aspect.
• VK_KHR_uniform_buffer_standard_layout
  • Provides more flexible alignment for uniform buffers, enabling among other things, the usage of std430 layouts in Vulkan.

I Cross Fired it at a very fair overclock on the cpu at what a Ryzen 5 1600 should push two RX 570's in stock form at 373 single tread https://valid.x86.fr/bench/hyzmu2/1 performance and video cards not overclocked = http://www.3dmark.com/fs/19635740

I've never own an ATI/AMD card before and I bought one today, but I don't understand what's with this "Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.6.2 Optional" vs "Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.5.2" drivers. What's up with that?

Probably just some tweaks that haven't made it into a general release driver yet.

And here I am still running 18.2.1. Wonder if these would provide any performance boost on my RX 480. Where driver updates are concerned I tend not to change what works unless there is a large gain somehow.

Optional are basically beta drivers with fixes they want to get out there before the main driver release. Go with the standard non optional drivers unless you have a problem that is listed in the release notes for the optional drivers.

Depends on the games you play though they've probably updated the control software too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it does usually apply here. I'm more flexible on video driver updates these days but on average I update every 3-6 months.
