AMD Radeon 19.8.1 driver adds PlayReady 3.0 DRM support for RX 5700 series

AMD's first new graphics driver of August landed today as the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.8.1 release. Although there aren't any new games supported or optimizations listed, it does bring along support for PlayReady 3.0 on its latest graphics card line.

Owners of the new RDNA architecture-based RX 5700 series graphics cards can now enjoy 4K content protected with Microsoft's PlayReady 3.0 DRM, such as Netflix content. The same support arrived to Polaris RX 400 and RX 500 series cards last year.

There's a list of new bug fixes included as well:

Some system configurations may experience color corruption after install of Radeon Software when running Windows® 10 May 2019 update. Issue is resolved in the latest Windows® Update 18362.267 (KB4505903)
