Issues still at hand include brightness flickering with Freesync and playing a game in borderless windowed mode, as well as display flickering with Vega graphics and dual monitors, when one is set to a high refresh rate.
Another issue is with Metro Exodus. which may experience crashes with DXR Ray Tracing enabled. Radeon's recording/streaming features might fail on HD 7800 series products, and, finally, Enhanced Sync might cause a black screen on some systems. Disable the feature to work around the problem.
