Probably related to this task #77095 where users are experiencing rendering artifacts, complete computer crashes, etc on Polaris GPUs in Blender 2.83 due to a change in OpenCL version.

Testing Update from myself and others on AMD Community Forum.
Please see: https://community.amd.com/thread/254250 for full details.

Summary as of today:

Windows 10 Pro:

Summary is as follows for "Victor" Benchmark on Blender 2.83.

Drivers:

Adrenalin 20.5.1

Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise 2020.Q2.
I also tested Adrenalin 2019 19.12.1 on the R9390X when I was adjusting blender settings for Victor benchmark in an attempt to reduce VRAM use.

Benchmark runs and completes.

PowerColor Red Dragon RX5700XT 8GB
XFX RX Vega 64 Liquid 8GB
PowerColor Red Dragon RX Vega 56 8GB

Note HBCC on the Vega GPUs. is off as it is not supported in Blender.

Benchmark Halts (expected due to 4GB HBM VRAM - requires a special Blender Flow to run on Fiji cards with 4GB HBM).

Primary "Watercooled R9Nano 4GB HBM" on Radeon Pro Duo

Benchmark Freezes

Gigabyte RX 590 8GB REV 1.0 and REV 2.0
XFX R9390X 8GB OC Black Edition.

My "theory" is that the GPU VRAM Compression on the RX590 8GB and R9390X 8GB might be too inefficient to run the "Victor" benchmark as both cards report
~ 8GB VRAM use - but that might be a driver bug.

No point in testing R9280x/HD7970 GPUs as they are not supported in Blender due to GCN version / driver issues for those cards.

Linux:

The fact that "Victor" runs under Ubuntu 18.04.4 HWE with Driver 20.20 and 3 x Radeon Pro WX 7100 (all as OpenCL Devices on Blender 2.83 LTS Preferences). Indicates there is hope for some optimization or bug fixes in Blender 2.83 for Windows 10 Pro for the RX590 and R9390X.

Thanks to billy72 for testing that OS. That is an important result.
