This also means APUs using vega are included right? Been thinking of buying a laptop with 7730u but this might be the reason why i might change my mind

You can use third-party drivers, they're better anyway.

As much as I would like to try that on my RX 580, the installation is just such a trainwreck hassle for not experienced users like me.

I'm not even on a Radeon GPU anymore but last time I installed these drivers the setup had been greatly streamlined, it wasn't more complicated than installing official drivers.

Let's be honest here. Usually these patches are driver optimizations for new games. What kind of a new game runs on a Vega architecture IGP with 6 to 8 CUs, and 1/2 the performance of an RX 6400. Anything that's last generation has probably already been updated to run well.

Even if you're looking at like e-sport titles, I'd be shocked to see driver's having improved things by more than 1% in the last year in like Fortnite or League of Legends.
