Been using AMD ProRender for quite some time, but recently, I encountered that ProRender is not working properly.
Here’s my SystemInfo details.

============
I’m attaching comparison result between CPU and iGPU rendering to show the difference.
Of course, the GPU rendering is much slower than the iGPU, but this just happened recently.
I’m using Radeon Pro driver which wasn’t giving this kind of result. No other installation was made after the smooth experience before.
Tried to uninstall ProRender and reinstall without luck. Any suggestion and/or help would be highly appreciated.
