This is a reply to both of you its a optional one but not recommended when I try to install that one my computer restarts it has done it twice so not going risk it again.

Optional means its not a stable version of it I believe as well which could be why I keep having issues with it

so wait for it to become recommanded. not sure what you are looking for
don't think they are adding any new feature to vega gpu

If you want to wait for it to become recommended just wait. You don't need the latest drivers if you don't have any issues anywhere.

I don't think Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 8 GB is a Vega GPU I could be wrong though

Alright I will I was seeing Recommended ones every few months and haven't for awhile so was finding it odd when there hasn't been one since September.

they don't keep update old gen

they don't keep update old gen

Yet they did in September

Anyways I'm saving up for a better GPU upgrade too but right now everything is double the price cause this covid situation like GPU Upgrade of this would cost me probably $500.00 instead the $300.00 I was quoted once

Old addage, 'if it ain't broke, it don't need fixin'.

The prior updates were to fix things amd/sapphire thought needed fixing. But they do draw the line somewhere, so bugs that only affect a few ppl are usually ignored whereas bugs that affect a lot of ppl get their full attention.

If you figure an update might fix 1-3 major flaws or 10-30 minor ones, it would seem the need for major flaw updates are about over, and it's taking a lot longer to incorporate 10-30 minor fixes into a single update.

Okay that makes sense
