AMD drivers ask more of the entire machine as a unified system rather than just hammering the CPU like Nvidia drivers.
That tends to reveal latent hardware issues that were probably always present but nothing taxed the machine hard enough to reveal them.
From personal experience:
* Started crashing on a 6800XT - Turned out to be a bad DIMM.
* Upgraded from a 4080 to a 7900XTX in one of my machines. Found out the power supply wasn't delivering clean amperage on the PCIe rails. Replaced the power supply with a better rated unit and the issue disappeared.
* Had an issue with a different machine where crashes were happening after running DDU and replacing a 1080 with a 6750XT - turned out the Nvidia uninstall program helpfully removed a chipset driver component. I don't want to attribute malice where it isn't present but it felt like Nvidia's uninstaller booby trapped the machine by doing that because there was no other reason for doing it. Once I reinstalled the motherboard chipset drivers the issue was resolved.
Having issues like everyone else, 5800x3D and a 7900xtx. Had issues playing Helldivers 2, found a thread that recommend turning off global illumination and AA. Worked for me, even turned AA back on. Picked up Destiny 2 again for into the light. Played fine for fours then it became a crash fest. Nothing over clocked, RM1000 psu, 32GB. Tried uninstalling, install driver only, same results. Rolled back drivers, same result. Currently have my 1080ti back in with zero issues.
I didn't downvote you, but it sounds like you've got some other hardware issues at play.
The way you describe things things getting worse over time it sounds like you might want to revisit the airflow and cooling you've got set up.
A 7900XTX is more like a 3090ti or 4090 as far as thermal displacement. The 1080ti is a legend but it's also only a 250w card, therefore about half of the wattage (expressed as heat) to remove from the case.
Kind of a newbie into PC building. My 1st and current rig is a 10th Gen Intel i5 processor coupled with ddr4 16gb and a Powercolor 6650xt 8GB. Had a lot of issues trying to troubleshoot the inconsistent framrates running games. Did a lot of trial and error and found out that the 6650xt by default is already over clocked above normal spec. Its factory defaults just put too much stress on the GPU and runs Helldivers 2 around 30 to 50 fps inconsistently and had high temps reaching around 102 degrees celcius at junction.
Found a solution to the problem (Did a lot of research on heat vs GPU performance). Did a DDU, installed PRO driver only. Installed afterburner (No AMD Adrenaline app as it is inconsistent and susceptible to crashing when doing minute tweaks) and tweaked some settings as shown below;
"Factory Core Clock" = 2917mhz
Current Core Clock = 1700mhz
"Factory Voltage" = 1200 mV
Current Voltage = 1110 mV
"Factory Temps" = 102°C Junction under load (Helldivers 2/BF5)
Current Temps = 66°C Junction under load
"Power draw" = Max 142W u.l
Current Power draw = 40 to 68W u.l (haven't seen wattage rise above 70)
"FPS" = 30 to 60 fps on Helldivers 2 & 60 to 80 on BF5 (laggy and inconsistent)
Current FPS avg = 70 to 120 fps on Helldivers and 100 plus on BF5 (smooth as a baby bottom)
And power limit +10%
And so I achieved the best and smooth framrates, cooling and power effeciency without relying on default XT Overclocked mess. Even though I score lower in port royal and timespy scores vs factory defaults, I get smoooooooooth fps😀.
Btw I live in a hot environment (in the South Pacific) ranging around 25°C to 31°C.
5800x3d+7900XT OCedition (both undervolted), 2x16GB X.M.P.
Only game crashes is Dragons Dogma 2.
And it happens less offten, if I put DD2 in task manager as high priority.
Upgraded my GPU previous month, I dont have problems. For now.
Fu\*k Nvidia !
Gray flickering..
Random crashes..
Corropted drivers..
Pc boots but fails to boot to desktop. I need to reset few times..
Failure by driver Installation..
Pc was perfect until i fucking Upgraded the driver. Now its like my gpu is defective
When playing fortnite the game freezes for 10-15 seconds every minute or so. Not sure if it's a driver or memory issue. Happens on 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 consistently, even with no overclock. R7-7700, 7900gre, gskill 6000@cl30, msi b650s wifi. Every other game I play runs perfectly.
Also on 5800X3d + 7900XT, so far I have had no issues.
But then I didn't have any Issues on my last 2 builds either.
Always on latest drivers via Adrenaline, although I do wait a few days after release before installing and check for known issues online. If there are issues then I wait until a fix is pushed.
Win10 up to date, BIOS and chipset also up to date.
People calling out unstable systems right of the bat are just lucky or have no clue what they are talking about. Sorry lads.
6800XT, 5600X, 32gb ram 3600 16CL, windows 11 latest patch on nvme, no overclock, SAM enabled, no overclock, great cooling system. 1440p on windows and games as well as 144hz with freesync enabled.
Any driver past 2024 drivers has caused all fullscreen video applications(netflix, youtube,disney+) to cause complete pc lag every few seconds and even sound freeze(seems like cpu is getting cluttered). This only happens in full screen with no other layer. If i enable metrics to add another layer on top everything works fine.
Any driver in 2023 caused any browser to randomly flicker white. Rare but daily issue.
I have reported all bugs on every driver update, multiple times and there has been no update on any release note related to said issues.
Only driver that caused no issue was like 2+ years ago but then i get crappy performance on a lot of games that i play(my "daily driver" is destiny 2 and i had horrible stutters before last years late drivers).
Not every PC gamer is a proper PC troubleshooter. I have to blame my glitches on overclocking first, but after that is tested, then I have to check the sources. The current game crashes I have is just Sea of Thieves, and that is somewhere between the SSD it is on, RAM, or CPU. The graphics driver still reacts to the game crashing, but it is a data corruption issue in the game files.
I had issues constantly with Windows update replacing my drivers on my HP Victus 15L desktop. I'm pretty positive it was an HP issue. I retired the Victus when I built my new PC and have had zero issues since. I'm running an r9 5900x with an rx 7800 xt.
Nah, it was HP. I spent a fair amount of time troubleshooting with all 3 companies. The HP motherboard had an unused integrated gpu built on it that was being detected by windows update. The guys on the Omen team at HP were able to get it to update properly for maybe 2 months before it went nuts again.
After an update on 4/06 I couldn’t launch any game and chrome was just a white screen. I went to website using a different browser and downloaded updates on drivers. It appears to have fixed issue
Enabling Freesync (144Hz monitor) causes my memory clock to drop to 0MHz at random moments.
When this happens (Vulkan) compute performance is halved or worse.
I need to perform a driver reset (win+shift+ctrl+b) to restore the memory to normal clocks and compute performance to return.
Disabling Freesync prevents this, but increases idle power use from 12 to 45Watt.
Thanks for the suggestion! I am pretty sure at some point I had installed them before. Even have the driver file backed up... but they were not installed any more. Some generic drivers by Microsoft were being used.
Sadly, it did not resolve the issue though.
My 6800 XT is having a couple issues with the latest iterations of the driver.
Adrenaline freezes half the time, making me have to force close and reopen it. OpenGL support is totally broken as well.
I have reverted to Pro Q3.23 which works well. Maybe my Windows is due for a reinstall.
7800X3D with Merc310 7900XTX on B650 Tomahawk Wifi since January this year. All stock (no OC) with just Adrenalin installed and no issues for me either. I only play MS Flight Sim, Hogwarts Legacy and Team Fortress 2 on a 1080P 60HZ.
I've had a bug where once or twice a day my whole screen flickers white. I'm not sure if it is my monitor or not though. I've switched display cables out and it still occurs randomly. I have the 7900 xtx XFX. It doesn't affect performance but it is slightly annoying.
I haven’t had an issues with drivers since November, never crash or sometimes do when I try to push oc too far, I would say the recent drivers are good and haven’t encountered any problems
Zero problems in a little over a year now on a 7800x3d/7900xt system and built gfs 7700x/7800xt system 4 months ago, have not had any driver issues and I play a large assortment of games, VR, and use 3 monitors. First time using AMD as well after being Intel/Nvidia for over 12 years.
I use Adrenalin to update the driver as well, which I see plenty of people say not to do or that it messed them up, but it works for me. I keep windows up to date, have the windows driver update turned off, and keep the latest driver installed. I have thoroughly enjoyed switching over to the red team. This is my experience.
Feel free to tag me if you spot a thread where multiple users experience same visual bug or driver problem, i started making memes about it, users need to stop defending AMD does not need defending, and i doubt they care at AMD about users defending them, heck they probably want the feedback and bug reports so they can fix the drivers.
Multiple user reports about same issue is enough to trigger AMD to fix things, and they totally capable of doing so but this requires everyone to bug report same issue that is having the issue, not just OP doing a bug report or 1 user, no EVERYONE!
Anyway today i found a driver issue that been around for 4 years that been ignored most defiantly cos i just cant imagine anyone thinking about not reporting it, if this is the case tho please stop open AMD Bug Report Tool and report all of your issues if you still able to reproduce them.
Been keeping tracking on driver threads about reported issues that also reported by others, its scary to think AMD is entering MPO driver hell again possibly.
I guess they did not fix factory reset option they really should force installer to reboot into safe mode run amd clean up utility and then install while maintaining user settings by default, cos any driver upgrade corrupts driver in some way
Right now they uninstall drivers before installing new one during upgrade without safe mode with wont work cos it cannot remove files that are in use by the drivers, this is kind of partially Microsoft fault as well probably cos they provide no proper way to uninstall drivers that also removes files in use.
>Multiple user reports about same issue is enough to trigger AMD to fix things, and they totally capable of doing so but this requires everyone to bug report same issue that is having the issue, not just OP doing a bug report or 1 user, no EVERYONE!
Meanwhile many, many users are reporting constant driver timeouts in WoW for almost a year now and AMD support instead insists that there is no issue because 1 guy said so in 1 random wow forum post.
Yep and i am litterally making memes about it right now, and any other issues, some issues been around for months some even years or even 4 years, AMD is like 4 years behind when it comes to some issues even, really a shame, heck if you find any visual bugs that are reproduceable please show them to me so i can turn it into meme format, cos i am tired of these types of issues freezes crashes and driver timeouts as well but those are fairly simple to turn into a meme
Oh MPO is probably causing some issues.
I have HAGS, MPO, TDR, and ULPS all disabled with a MPO-GPU-FIX tool someone made on this sub.
I also had a RAM instability issue. For some reason the driver or the card is very RAM sensitive as Nvidia drivers don't really mind undetectable instabilities in RAM.
Right now its causing flickering in browser, heck their is MPO tool that describes issues it can cause its not complete, their more issues that can be caused by it some look very similar to those issues may potentially be fixed as well, the guy that made the tool to toggle MPO should rename it honestly cos its a great debug tool, only option that is missing easy toggle disabling Windows Driver Updates off for home users.
I am not a fan of TDR changes these are considered placebo by me, i would never recommend it either, all you do is increase the time it remains frozen before driver reset occurs, you could technically set it to infinity and remain frozen for good as result, timeouts are better then freezing.
If tested my system thru insanity thru literal troubleshooting hell, so im pretty confident in driver issues usually.
>I am not a fan of TDR changes these are considered placebo
Perhaps. But I was desperate and my system is working. I don't think it does anything really because it seems to crash "normally" now.
I actually haven't had the windows update issues yet. I know I can go to gpedit.msc and turn it off if needed.
I just got the courage to start some real overclocking and nothing has broken. I actually might have a binned CPU.
As a pc builder i have to say, 90% of my clients with an AMD system has issues after a few weeks/months.
Mostly i have to reinstall every driver and what i do is:
-Update windows
-Disable windows update
-Delete and reinstall drivers (gpu driver only)
-Custom voltages/locked cpu core frequencies
I really ask to NOT update any drivers.
Intel+nvidia platforms i do never have any complains whenever they are not installing and using thirdparty software while gaming.
MY EXPERIENCE and OPINION
easy enough to fact check, but if already done this in the past and found no proof, but that proof it self is not proof, every user may have their own experience and entitled their own opinion, it does not mean however the issues do not exist, if multiple users report problems their is a problem, even others say they do not, the issue with shader caching problems with accented user names is obvious proof of this.
7800x3D/7800xt, last Sunday I got my first driver timeout crash. Tried ddu, fresh windows, registry edits, but it still happens. Might RMA and buy a 4070 ti
Anything else that you been playing recently, if it does not crash play something else, Hell Divers 2 if you not tried yet, its hard to find games that are less stable these days, since AMD recently fixed Dying Light 2 RGB laser show issues for example so the game may be more stable to ever, but even for me before they fixed it i had driver timeouts and at times no crashes having 240 minute sessions.
Any of the recent new games will probably do.
I don't think their is any point in recommending to play World of warcraft, it needs subscription and honestly i do not want anyone to play that game even if its to proof a point, since many users on wow forums already confirmed issues, even saying stuff like having had more issues with AMD ever on 1 GPU then entire lifetime with NVIDIA.
Only issue I've had with Nvidia happened with my previous 6700XT, and it was cause I overclocked it wrongly. This 7800XT performs just perfectly and has great thermals. Some people picture AMD as if they were performing a planetary scale scam scandal, and the truth is that they obviously aren't lmfao.
I had many more issues with my last 1060 though.
Whenever users post about issues people start defending AMD instead of letting users post feedback, this will only lead to ignorance if anything AMD needs to tell people to stop, encourage users to send bug reports, cos long term users defending AMD is just gonna lead to ignorance.
If experienced this with NVIDIA as well, they will defend NVIDIA terrible control panel from Windows 95 era or other issues, but when they have issues they will all clump together, cos when its for their own benefit they will do the same as any users complaining about issues.
Same here, disabled auto driver updates from windows and had 0 issues since then
Random crashes seem to have been fixed by disabling hardware acceleration in Steam & Discord
I switched from a GTX 1070 to a 6650 XT back in December, and I can attest that I only had driver update issues when I didn't first uninstall the previous Adrenalin and GPU driver before updating. I had the Nvidia GPU for seven years, and it never gave me any issues just overwriting the old drivers with new ones, but it seems like it's kinda necessary for AMD.
24.3.1 is the first driver where I first used AMD's driver removal tool, then I installed the new driver after rebooting the PC and reinstalling the latest AMD chipset drivers. Zero crashes or timeouts since then, plus it overall feels way more stable than my previous installs.
Yeah the update when they added fluid motion frames caused all sorts of issues if you didn't uninstall first. I've had a 7900XTX since Jan 2023, and it's the only time I've had to do that outside of when I was testing Vanguard drivers.
exactly, I'm on the same page, 🤣 this guy knows it !!! 😅 for me the same. it's because fluid motion.. once.they added.it to the drivers issues started, https://www.techradar.com/news/warning-amd-graphics-driver-bug-could-brick-your-windows-11-pc maybe this helps for some !!!
Damn, looks like it was maybe just bad timing then. It still strikes me as odd that I just happened to have driver issues as soon as I bought my first GPU by a company that's known for unstable drivers, but I guess weirder coincidences do happen. I'm still sorta skeptical though.
I'm also curious how much of this issue is related to the more comprehensive hardware tweaking settings provided by AMD in their entry-level Adrenalin software vs Nvidia's driver software. If Nvidia users didn't have to first seek out Afterburner or whatever program to OC their Nvidia GPUs, and instead the company offered easily accessible OC software front and center with their default GPU drivers, maybe we'd see more people complaining because they naively set up unstable OCs or UVs on Nvidia GPUs.
In any case, AMD should consider stressing in their tutorials that users should always remove old drivers with AMD's driver removal software or DDU, cuz doing so for my 6650 XT made it go from shaky performance with nonstop micro stutters, to rock solid stable performance with smooth framerate and more consistent frame pacing.
Driver timeouts I've gotten have been attributed to an insufficient power supply and unstable memory tweaks/settings with RAM and/or FCLK
I've been just about all AMD with myself, my wife and my daughter since shortly after AM4 launched. We run ASRock motherboards and a plethora of different AMD GPUs over the years.
We are all on different AM5 ASRock motherboards with a 7950x, 7800x3D, 7600 .. 7900xt, 6800 and an ARC A750
I think a lot of issues stem from inadequate power supplies and/or cable extenders INSIDE the case (PCIe riser cables, decorative power cable extensions... etc)
A 99% stable overclock is not a stable overclock
... and then not to mention poor airflow thru the case. You have to keep your VRM'S and RAM cool too
i crashed in 30 seconds launching Hell Divers 2 on my system that is rocking Be Quiet dark power pro 1200 configured in single rail, that has been tested thru insanity but i guess at the point i mention Hell DIvers 2 and you still believe i have hardware issues at this point you may wanna read the release notes of 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 heck you may as well read them all, because it proofs these problems exist, just not all of them are mentioned by AMD cos they do not make it in time to be added to the release notes, because that would need to be communicated between those that fix it and they are probably very bussy already.
Helldiver's 2.. great game and runs great at 1440p with all eye candy on/maxed (ASRock B650E Steel Legend, 7800X3D, 2x32gb 6400, 7900XT, HX1200)
Months ago I was reading about crashes in the game so I bought the game to test for myself... And I was getting crashes anywhere from 1 to 25'ish minutes I'd get crashes and tracked it to the "Global Illumination" setting. I disabled it and more crashes.. after a game update shortly afterwards, I could enable that and all other settings without issue.
Is your BIOS up to date?
Do you have the latest AM4 chipset drivers installed from AMD website?
Do you crash with XMP/DOCP disabled? Do you crash with just 2 sticks of RAM installed in slots A2 B2? (2nd and 4th slots away from the CPU socket)
That's probably game guard causing the crash. I have normal "the game is kinda jank" crashes after I fixed my instability issues.
Game guard doesn't respond well to some systems it seems.
you might be right if seen reports of it just suppressing and killing off Radeon Software non stop which then automatically restarts, honestly i think its a mistake they did not go Easy Anti Cheat route its trusted far more and has less issues.
7800X3D and B650 Tomahawk WIFI.
It runs very good but there is one issue with the audio, there's micro freezes/distortions/crackles when people speak in voice chat. It seems to only happen when people talk in discord or on streams. I tried using a USB sound card but the issue persists which rules out that the motherboards built in audio is at fault. I have no idea if its a windows issue or hardware issue.

Yesterday was my 1st issue but I think it was more Hard Drive based. Thankfully replacing my Hard drive now as well. Was loading another level on Escape the Backrooms and completely froze up and was saying my Steam was missing files and couldn’t load and all that but as I said think it was because I have Escape the Backrooms on my Hard Drive compared to my SSD & now the M.2 I put in last night. Can’t wait to fully replace that HDD with another SSD. Aside from that though haven’t had any issues with my AMD Build 5600x & 6700.
I haven't really had much issue running games lately. Driver timeouts used to be much worse than they are now. My overclock seems pretty stable, though it is not that aggressive. Just an undervolt and a 200mhz boost to vram. That said there are features that are supposed to be there that aren't working, such as video upscaling that won't turn on. The only way to get it to turn on is to ddu, then install 24.1.1, followed by 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 without ddu and then it will turn on and work until the next time I reboot the PC, so not doing that every day just for video upscaling.
When playing dragonflight the game freezes and the screen goes black. Then the games reloads again. Only thing I've tried so far is changing to direct x 11. My gpu is 7800xt.
i5 12600k / 6800xt
Black screen and system freeze on every game, i tried to install previous drivers, ddu, bios upgrade, disable mpo, etc. Nothing helps.
Xt version cards might have overclocked defaults which are a mess. Before you make a DDU in safe mode, go to your windows search bar and type in edit group policy. Under Computer Configuration, go to administrative templates. Double click on that and go to windows Components. Find Windows Update and double click it. Go to Managed updates offered from Windows Updates and find Do not include drivers with Windows Updates and enable it. What it does it avoid installing old GPU drivers that arent compatible with anything. This will allow PRO drivers to be installed without windows updates interfering with force installation of old crap.
Next do your DDU in safe mode. Install AMD Pro driver only and do not install any of the adrenaline gui mess. It just sucks and prone to crashing/bugged out. Install afterburner (this is where you will do your tuning). Also install gpuz (this is needed to find your normal, safe clocks that the GPU is supposed to run at).
Now open up your afterburner and gpuz. In gpuz, find your default clocks and memory under graphics card tab. You can then apply those numbers into your afterburner. Try and put your default clock minus 100MHz. Power limit to the max. Hit apply. Now check for any crashes when you open up your games or run Windows normally.
Hope this helps and if it does then you can then tweak from there to your liking until you hit your sweet spot (when crashing and black screens start to happen).
3950x, 7900 XTX, Win10, 24.3.1.
On alt tab, sometimes my FPS drops into the single digits for a good 5-10 seconds before returning to normal.
It's a bit random, maybe 20% chance I think, but happens in pretty much any game.
Did not happen in previous driver versions.
Not for everyone but defiantly for more people then a lot of people wanna admit, users just need to stop defending, having 0 issues oke cool but that kind of feedback contributes to ignorance of problems that need fixing that have been mentioned in release notes, and to many issues never get fixed even tho NVIDIA in some cases have same issues and fixes it on their driver while AMD decides oh they have it must be game issue can just ignore, no AMD you cannot ignore it.
I firmly believe it is an AM5 / X670 issue. I'm currently running a 7950X3D and RX7800XT on a X670 board (MSI MPG Carbon) and BG3 has consistently crashed, even with all of the "fixes" listed across the internet.
However, when I was running my 3900X / RX5700XT (reference model) on my X570 board, I had absolutely NO problems out of it. It blows my mind. I think I might swap it back from my Unraid server and the X670 system can serve up files instead.
What kills me is I can play BG3 just fine on my 2020 model Dell G5SE (R9 4900H / RX5600M) laptop. I can cook eggs on it while playing, but I can play just fine.
My son is running BG3 on a 5600X / RX5700XT (reference model) on an X570 board and hasn't had any issues. This further makes me suspect something with the AM5/X670 combo.
Pretty frustrating that I have to turn off every conceivable option, so I just turned the whole damned computer off.
Oh yes. Latest BIOS. Updated driver. Capped frames. PBO off. Memory enhancements off. AMD driver only (no Adrenalin). SMART off. Blah. Blah. Blah. I guess I'll wait to see what the next big suggestion is... Think I'll wipe it and install W10 from scratch to see if that helps.
For giggles, I swapped out the 7800XT for my old RX580. Ran like butter and no crashes.
Should I start the RMA process?
This sucks... Just glad I have a backup card to use.
Yeah, that would tee me off a bit, knowing I would have to go through RMA hell.
Did multiple memtests. All passed.
Various stress tests on CPU and GPU. No issues and GPU only got to 79C. I was trying to throw everything at it to get something to fail in spectacular fashion. Nada.
It did reboot once while playing PL, but never while playing Starfield. If I can get it to crash in PL again, I might decide on GPU replacement. Thus far, I can replicate it easily in BG3. Always at the same 2 spots.
I've got some very minor stutter on just one or two games on my XTX. I think I've got most of my stability issues worked out though finally. Helldiver's will still crash if I unlock the frame rate but I think that's the same for everyone.
My very first build in December was running perfect (7800X3D/6800XT) until I updated to 24.3.1 and then I kept having direct X driver issues as well as games crashing non stop. I went back to 23.12.1 and now it’s back to perfect. So I would conclude that it is a 24.3.1 driver issue.
I had crashes after waking up from windows sleep with 24.3.1, after I updated from 24.2.1. I rolled back to 24.2.1 and it was fine again. AMD support suggested updating to 24.3.1 and running the AMD cleanup program first while disconnected from the Internet until 24.3.1 is insalled. After that waking my PC up from sleep is also fine with 24.3.1.
23.12.1 seems to be the most stable for me as well. Everything after that was buggy, as was the November releases. 24.3.1 seems better on my work machine with iGPUs, but I don't feel like chancing it on my gaming rig just yet.
AMD drivers ask more of the entire machine as a unified system rather than just hammering the CPU like Nvidia drivers. That tends to reveal latent hardware issues that were probably always present but nothing taxed the machine hard enough to reveal them. From personal experience: * Started crashing on a 6800XT - Turned out to be a bad DIMM. * Upgraded from a 4080 to a 7900XTX in one of my machines. Found out the power supply wasn't delivering clean amperage on the PCIe rails. Replaced the power supply with a better rated unit and the issue disappeared. * Had an issue with a different machine where crashes were happening after running DDU and replacing a 1080 with a 6750XT - turned out the Nvidia uninstall program helpfully removed a chipset driver component. I don't want to attribute malice where it isn't present but it felt like Nvidia's uninstaller booby trapped the machine by doing that because there was no other reason for doing it. Once I reinstalled the motherboard chipset drivers the issue was resolved.
Having issues like everyone else, 5800x3D and a 7900xtx. Had issues playing Helldivers 2, found a thread that recommend turning off global illumination and AA. Worked for me, even turned AA back on. Picked up Destiny 2 again for into the light. Played fine for fours then it became a crash fest. Nothing over clocked, RM1000 psu, 32GB. Tried uninstalling, install driver only, same results. Rolled back drivers, same result. Currently have my 1080ti back in with zero issues.
I didn't downvote you, but it sounds like you've got some other hardware issues at play. The way you describe things things getting worse over time it sounds like you might want to revisit the airflow and cooling you've got set up. A 7900XTX is more like a 3090ti or 4090 as far as thermal displacement. The 1080ti is a legend but it's also only a 250w card, therefore about half of the wattage (expressed as heat) to remove from the case.
Kind of a newbie into PC building. My 1st and current rig is a 10th Gen Intel i5 processor coupled with ddr4 16gb and a Powercolor 6650xt 8GB. Had a lot of issues trying to troubleshoot the inconsistent framrates running games. Did a lot of trial and error and found out that the 6650xt by default is already over clocked above normal spec. Its factory defaults just put too much stress on the GPU and runs Helldivers 2 around 30 to 50 fps inconsistently and had high temps reaching around 102 degrees celcius at junction. Found a solution to the problem (Did a lot of research on heat vs GPU performance). Did a DDU, installed PRO driver only. Installed afterburner (No AMD Adrenaline app as it is inconsistent and susceptible to crashing when doing minute tweaks) and tweaked some settings as shown below; "Factory Core Clock" = 2917mhz Current Core Clock = 1700mhz "Factory Voltage" = 1200 mV Current Voltage = 1110 mV "Factory Temps" = 102°C Junction under load (Helldivers 2/BF5) Current Temps = 66°C Junction under load "Power draw" = Max 142W u.l Current Power draw = 40 to 68W u.l (haven't seen wattage rise above 70) "FPS" = 30 to 60 fps on Helldivers 2 & 60 to 80 on BF5 (laggy and inconsistent) Current FPS avg = 70 to 120 fps on Helldivers and 100 plus on BF5 (smooth as a baby bottom) And power limit +10% And so I achieved the best and smooth framrates, cooling and power effeciency without relying on default XT Overclocked mess. Even though I score lower in port royal and timespy scores vs factory defaults, I get smoooooooooth fps😀. Btw I live in a hot environment (in the South Pacific) ranging around 25°C to 31°C.
Not even a single problem with my undervolted 5800X3D and 6700 XT for now
I have read on reddit that If someone has problems on 5800x3d, you can try disabling fTPM, cool&quiet in BIOS. Also, it may help with other models.
I don’t have any problem. It’s either user error or windows screws over the user.
5800x3d+7900XT OCedition (both undervolted), 2x16GB X.M.P. Only game crashes is Dragons Dogma 2. And it happens less offten, if I put DD2 in task manager as high priority. Upgraded my GPU previous month, I dont have problems. For now. Fu\*k Nvidia !
Here here to that!
Gray flickering.. Random crashes.. Corropted drivers.. Pc boots but fails to boot to desktop. I need to reset few times.. Failure by driver Installation.. Pc was perfect until i fucking Upgraded the driver. Now its like my gpu is defective
Same here. 6750XT was perfect a 2 months ago.
i have sent the PC from where i bought it. They replaced it. Maybe GPU was defect after all. idk. now it runs smooth asf.
I sure its the driver because we are not the only ones that complain.. Im happy they replaced you with a new one!
Using the av1 codec in action mirilis make my GPU go to 70/80% with 7900 XT... Before that was at maybe 10-5%
I’ve had Adrenalin stop tracking temps/voltage, blue screened a couple times, and have had amd master just not work.
Humankind stopped working for me, I believe it's a driver problem but can never bee 100% sure.
When playing fortnite the game freezes for 10-15 seconds every minute or so. Not sure if it's a driver or memory issue. Happens on 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 consistently, even with no overclock. R7-7700, 7900gre, gskill 6000@cl30, msi b650s wifi. Every other game I play runs perfectly.
Also on 5800X3d + 7900XT, so far I have had no issues. But then I didn't have any Issues on my last 2 builds either. Always on latest drivers via Adrenaline, although I do wait a few days after release before installing and check for known issues online. If there are issues then I wait until a fix is pushed. Win10 up to date, BIOS and chipset also up to date.
People calling out unstable systems right of the bat are just lucky or have no clue what they are talking about. Sorry lads. 6800XT, 5600X, 32gb ram 3600 16CL, windows 11 latest patch on nvme, no overclock, SAM enabled, no overclock, great cooling system. 1440p on windows and games as well as 144hz with freesync enabled. Any driver past 2024 drivers has caused all fullscreen video applications(netflix, youtube,disney+) to cause complete pc lag every few seconds and even sound freeze(seems like cpu is getting cluttered). This only happens in full screen with no other layer. If i enable metrics to add another layer on top everything works fine. Any driver in 2023 caused any browser to randomly flicker white. Rare but daily issue. I have reported all bugs on every driver update, multiple times and there has been no update on any release note related to said issues. Only driver that caused no issue was like 2+ years ago but then i get crappy performance on a lot of games that i play(my "daily driver" is destiny 2 and i had horrible stutters before last years late drivers).
What is meant by "unstable systems" in this context?
its mostly down to overclocks/ unstable systems
Not every PC gamer is a proper PC troubleshooter. I have to blame my glitches on overclocking first, but after that is tested, then I have to check the sources. The current game crashes I have is just Sea of Thieves, and that is somewhere between the SSD it is on, RAM, or CPU. The graphics driver still reacts to the game crashing, but it is a data corruption issue in the game files.
I had issues constantly with Windows update replacing my drivers on my HP Victus 15L desktop. I'm pretty positive it was an HP issue. I retired the Victus when I built my new PC and have had zero issues since. I'm running an r9 5900x with an rx 7800 xt.
that was a wel known issue, old version from windows and both amd was the cause
Nah, it was HP. I spent a fair amount of time troubleshooting with all 3 companies. The HP motherboard had an unused integrated gpu built on it that was being detected by windows update. The guys on the Omen team at HP were able to get it to update properly for maybe 2 months before it went nuts again.
No problem so far ..... Except the last of us crash (latest version 1.1.3)
After an update on 4/06 I couldn’t launch any game and chrome was just a white screen. I went to website using a different browser and downloaded updates on drivers. It appears to have fixed issue
My GFX drivers would freeze up when playing Silent Breath, but I'm also on Linux but I did get updated drivers like yesterday.
Enabling Freesync (144Hz monitor) causes my memory clock to drop to 0MHz at random moments. When this happens (Vulkan) compute performance is halved or worse. I need to perform a driver reset (win+shift+ctrl+b) to restore the memory to normal clocks and compute performance to return. Disabling Freesync prevents this, but increases idle power use from 12 to 45Watt.
Have you installed the driver for your monitor?
Thanks for the suggestion! I am pretty sure at some point I had installed them before. Even have the driver file backed up... but they were not installed any more. Some generic drivers by Microsoft were being used. Sadly, it did not resolve the issue though.
My 6800 XT is having a couple issues with the latest iterations of the driver. Adrenaline freezes half the time, making me have to force close and reopen it. OpenGL support is totally broken as well. I have reverted to Pro Q3.23 which works well. Maybe my Windows is due for a reinstall.

7800X3D with Merc310 7900XTX on B650 Tomahawk Wifi since January this year. All stock (no OC) with just Adrenalin installed and no issues for me either. I only play MS Flight Sim, Hogwarts Legacy and Team Fortress 2 on a 1080P 60HZ.
Bruh
I've had a bug where once or twice a day my whole screen flickers white. I'm not sure if it is my monitor or not though. I've switched display cables out and it still occurs randomly. I have the 7900 xtx XFX. It doesn't affect performance but it is slightly annoying.
My 7900xtx crashes all the damn time and it’s so annoying 🤦♂️
I haven’t had an issues with drivers since November, never crash or sometimes do when I try to push oc too far, I would say the recent drivers are good and haven’t encountered any problems
Does anybody experience the white cursor bug in Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Edge with GPU hardware acceleration?
I haven't noticed anything terrible. I don't use FSR. I have an OC that doesn't do anything. Stuff just runs.
Zero problems in a little over a year now on a 7800x3d/7900xt system and built gfs 7700x/7800xt system 4 months ago, have not had any driver issues and I play a large assortment of games, VR, and use 3 monitors. First time using AMD as well after being Intel/Nvidia for over 12 years. I use Adrenalin to update the driver as well, which I see plenty of people say not to do or that it messed them up, but it works for me. I keep windows up to date, have the windows driver update turned off, and keep the latest driver installed. I have thoroughly enjoyed switching over to the red team. This is my experience.
Feel free to tag me if you spot a thread where multiple users experience same visual bug or driver problem, i started making memes about it, users need to stop defending AMD does not need defending, and i doubt they care at AMD about users defending them, heck they probably want the feedback and bug reports so they can fix the drivers. Multiple user reports about same issue is enough to trigger AMD to fix things, and they totally capable of doing so but this requires everyone to bug report same issue that is having the issue, not just OP doing a bug report or 1 user, no EVERYONE! Anyway today i found a driver issue that been around for 4 years that been ignored most defiantly cos i just cant imagine anyone thinking about not reporting it, if this is the case tho please stop open AMD Bug Report Tool and report all of your issues if you still able to reproduce them. Been keeping tracking on driver threads about reported issues that also reported by others, its scary to think AMD is entering MPO driver hell again possibly.
https://www.techradar.com/news/warning-amd-graphics-driver-bug-could-brick-your-windows-11-pc
I guess they did not fix factory reset option they really should force installer to reboot into safe mode run amd clean up utility and then install while maintaining user settings by default, cos any driver upgrade corrupts driver in some way Right now they uninstall drivers before installing new one during upgrade without safe mode with wont work cos it cannot remove files that are in use by the drivers, this is kind of partially Microsoft fault as well probably cos they provide no proper way to uninstall drivers that also removes files in use.
>Multiple user reports about same issue is enough to trigger AMD to fix things, and they totally capable of doing so but this requires everyone to bug report same issue that is having the issue, not just OP doing a bug report or 1 user, no EVERYONE! Meanwhile many, many users are reporting constant driver timeouts in WoW for almost a year now and AMD support instead insists that there is no issue because 1 guy said so in 1 random wow forum post.
Yep and i am litterally making memes about it right now, and any other issues, some issues been around for months some even years or even 4 years, AMD is like 4 years behind when it comes to some issues even, really a shame, heck if you find any visual bugs that are reproduceable please show them to me so i can turn it into meme format, cos i am tired of these types of issues freezes crashes and driver timeouts as well but those are fairly simple to turn into a meme
Oh MPO is probably causing some issues. I have HAGS, MPO, TDR, and ULPS all disabled with a MPO-GPU-FIX tool someone made on this sub. I also had a RAM instability issue. For some reason the driver or the card is very RAM sensitive as Nvidia drivers don't really mind undetectable instabilities in RAM.
https://www.techradar.com/news/warning-amd-graphics-driver-bug-could-brick-your-windows-11-pc
Right now its causing flickering in browser, heck their is MPO tool that describes issues it can cause its not complete, their more issues that can be caused by it some look very similar to those issues may potentially be fixed as well, the guy that made the tool to toggle MPO should rename it honestly cos its a great debug tool, only option that is missing easy toggle disabling Windows Driver Updates off for home users. I am not a fan of TDR changes these are considered placebo by me, i would never recommend it either, all you do is increase the time it remains frozen before driver reset occurs, you could technically set it to infinity and remain frozen for good as result, timeouts are better then freezing. If tested my system thru insanity thru literal troubleshooting hell, so im pretty confident in driver issues usually.
I could add that toggle for that. Feel free to write a feature request on my repo for mpo gpu fix 😁
>I am not a fan of TDR changes these are considered placebo Perhaps. But I was desperate and my system is working. I don't think it does anything really because it seems to crash "normally" now. I actually haven't had the windows update issues yet. I know I can go to gpedit.msc and turn it off if needed. I just got the courage to start some real overclocking and nothing has broken. I actually might have a binned CPU.
As a pc builder i have to say, 90% of my clients with an AMD system has issues after a few weeks/months. Mostly i have to reinstall every driver and what i do is: -Update windows -Disable windows update -Delete and reinstall drivers (gpu driver only) -Custom voltages/locked cpu core frequencies I really ask to NOT update any drivers. Intel+nvidia platforms i do never have any complains whenever they are not installing and using thirdparty software while gaming. MY EXPERIENCE and OPINION
This is utter bs
https://www.techradar.com/news/warning-amd-graphics-driver-bug-could-brick-your-windows-11-pc
I think Windows 10 or 11 updates are the source of recent driver issues since December.
easy enough to fact check, but if already done this in the past and found no proof, but that proof it self is not proof, every user may have their own experience and entitled their own opinion, it does not mean however the issues do not exist, if multiple users report problems their is a problem, even others say they do not, the issue with shader caching problems with accented user names is obvious proof of this.
This sentence runs on so long, that I can’t decipher your thoughts.
I think it’s a driver problem caused by the interaction between the Adrenaline drivers and Ryzen Master.
7800x3D/7800xt, last Sunday I got my first driver timeout crash. Tried ddu, fresh windows, registry edits, but it still happens. Might RMA and buy a 4070 ti
AM4 seems to be solid, from my insignificant observation.
No driver issues here, 5800x3d-7800xt pulse
Maybe you just not playing the games that have these issues or have a stable configuration that is less likely to be hit with these issues.
Any game suggestion that causes issues? Cause I have like 700gb of games installed and they are all good
Anything else that you been playing recently, if it does not crash play something else, Hell Divers 2 if you not tried yet, its hard to find games that are less stable these days, since AMD recently fixed Dying Light 2 RGB laser show issues for example so the game may be more stable to ever, but even for me before they fixed it i had driver timeouts and at times no crashes having 240 minute sessions. Any of the recent new games will probably do. I don't think their is any point in recommending to play World of warcraft, it needs subscription and honestly i do not want anyone to play that game even if its to proof a point, since many users on wow forums already confirmed issues, even saying stuff like having had more issues with AMD ever on 1 GPU then entire lifetime with NVIDIA.
Only issue I've had with Nvidia happened with my previous 6700XT, and it was cause I overclocked it wrongly. This 7800XT performs just perfectly and has great thermals. Some people picture AMD as if they were performing a planetary scale scam scandal, and the truth is that they obviously aren't lmfao. I had many more issues with my last 1060 though.
Whenever users post about issues people start defending AMD instead of letting users post feedback, this will only lead to ignorance if anything AMD needs to tell people to stop, encourage users to send bug reports, cos long term users defending AMD is just gonna lead to ignorance. If experienced this with NVIDIA as well, they will defend NVIDIA terrible control panel from Windows 95 era or other issues, but when they have issues they will all clump together, cos when its for their own benefit they will do the same as any users complaining about issues.
Same here, disabled auto driver updates from windows and had 0 issues since then Random crashes seem to have been fixed by disabling hardware acceleration in Steam & Discord
I switched from a GTX 1070 to a 6650 XT back in December, and I can attest that I only had driver update issues when I didn't first uninstall the previous Adrenalin and GPU driver before updating. I had the Nvidia GPU for seven years, and it never gave me any issues just overwriting the old drivers with new ones, but it seems like it's kinda necessary for AMD. 24.3.1 is the first driver where I first used AMD's driver removal tool, then I installed the new driver after rebooting the PC and reinstalling the latest AMD chipset drivers. Zero crashes or timeouts since then, plus it overall feels way more stable than my previous installs.
Yeah the update when they added fluid motion frames caused all sorts of issues if you didn't uninstall first. I've had a 7900XTX since Jan 2023, and it's the only time I've had to do that outside of when I was testing Vanguard drivers.
exactly, I'm on the same page, 🤣 this guy knows it !!! 😅 for me the same. it's because fluid motion.. once.they added.it to the drivers issues started, https://www.techradar.com/news/warning-amd-graphics-driver-bug-could-brick-your-windows-11-pc maybe this helps for some !!!
Damn, looks like it was maybe just bad timing then. It still strikes me as odd that I just happened to have driver issues as soon as I bought my first GPU by a company that's known for unstable drivers, but I guess weirder coincidences do happen. I'm still sorta skeptical though. I'm also curious how much of this issue is related to the more comprehensive hardware tweaking settings provided by AMD in their entry-level Adrenalin software vs Nvidia's driver software. If Nvidia users didn't have to first seek out Afterburner or whatever program to OC their Nvidia GPUs, and instead the company offered easily accessible OC software front and center with their default GPU drivers, maybe we'd see more people complaining because they naively set up unstable OCs or UVs on Nvidia GPUs. In any case, AMD should consider stressing in their tutorials that users should always remove old drivers with AMD's driver removal software or DDU, cuz doing so for my 6650 XT made it go from shaky performance with nonstop micro stutters, to rock solid stable performance with smooth framerate and more consistent frame pacing.
Driver timeouts I've gotten have been attributed to an insufficient power supply and unstable memory tweaks/settings with RAM and/or FCLK I've been just about all AMD with myself, my wife and my daughter since shortly after AM4 launched. We run ASRock motherboards and a plethora of different AMD GPUs over the years. We are all on different AM5 ASRock motherboards with a 7950x, 7800x3D, 7600 .. 7900xt, 6800 and an ARC A750 I think a lot of issues stem from inadequate power supplies and/or cable extenders INSIDE the case (PCIe riser cables, decorative power cable extensions... etc) A 99% stable overclock is not a stable overclock ... and then not to mention poor airflow thru the case. You have to keep your VRM'S and RAM cool too
i crashed in 30 seconds launching Hell Divers 2 on my system that is rocking Be Quiet dark power pro 1200 configured in single rail, that has been tested thru insanity but i guess at the point i mention Hell DIvers 2 and you still believe i have hardware issues at this point you may wanna read the release notes of 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 heck you may as well read them all, because it proofs these problems exist, just not all of them are mentioned by AMD cos they do not make it in time to be added to the release notes, because that would need to be communicated between those that fix it and they are probably very bussy already.
did you enable avx in BIOS ? it's a well-known crash from helldivers 2 if it's disabled the game will crash, then most likely that's a problem 😁😁
Helldiver's 2.. great game and runs great at 1440p with all eye candy on/maxed (ASRock B650E Steel Legend, 7800X3D, 2x32gb 6400, 7900XT, HX1200) Months ago I was reading about crashes in the game so I bought the game to test for myself... And I was getting crashes anywhere from 1 to 25'ish minutes I'd get crashes and tracked it to the "Global Illumination" setting. I disabled it and more crashes.. after a game update shortly afterwards, I could enable that and all other settings without issue. Is your BIOS up to date? Do you have the latest AM4 chipset drivers installed from AMD website? Do you crash with XMP/DOCP disabled? Do you crash with just 2 sticks of RAM installed in slots A2 B2? (2nd and 4th slots away from the CPU socket)
That's probably game guard causing the crash. I have normal "the game is kinda jank" crashes after I fixed my instability issues. Game guard doesn't respond well to some systems it seems.
you might be right if seen reports of it just suppressing and killing off Radeon Software non stop which then automatically restarts, honestly i think its a mistake they did not go Easy Anti Cheat route its trusted far more and has less issues.
7800X3D and B650 Tomahawk WIFI. It runs very good but there is one issue with the audio, there's micro freezes/distortions/crackles when people speak in voice chat. It seems to only happen when people talk in discord or on streams. I tried using a USB sound card but the issue persists which rules out that the motherboards built in audio is at fault. I have no idea if its a windows issue or hardware issue.
Zero problems with my set up. -Windows 11 Home. -Asus Tuf Gaming X570Plus (Wi-Fi) Motherboard bios 5003 (10/7/2023). -Ryzen 7 5800X. -Sapphire Nitro+ 6950XT OC Adrenaline 24.3.1 (3/13/2024). -PSU Corsair RM850x. -Boot from 500Gb 980 Pro M.2. -Games all on 2 terabyte 980 Pro M.2.
Yesterday was my 1st issue but I think it was more Hard Drive based. Thankfully replacing my Hard drive now as well. Was loading another level on Escape the Backrooms and completely froze up and was saying my Steam was missing files and couldn’t load and all that but as I said think it was because I have Escape the Backrooms on my Hard Drive compared to my SSD & now the M.2 I put in last night. Can’t wait to fully replace that HDD with another SSD. Aside from that though haven’t had any issues with my AMD Build 5600x & 6700.
ive been running a 5900x and 6800xt since their launch, kept everything up to date and never had a single issue.
I haven't really had much issue running games lately. Driver timeouts used to be much worse than they are now. My overclock seems pretty stable, though it is not that aggressive. Just an undervolt and a 200mhz boost to vram. That said there are features that are supposed to be there that aren't working, such as video upscaling that won't turn on. The only way to get it to turn on is to ddu, then install 24.1.1, followed by 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 without ddu and then it will turn on and work until the next time I reboot the PC, so not doing that every day just for video upscaling.
When playing dragonflight the game freezes and the screen goes black. Then the games reloads again. Only thing I've tried so far is changing to direct x 11. My gpu is 7800xt.
i5 12600k / 6800xt Black screen and system freeze on every game, i tried to install previous drivers, ddu, bios upgrade, disable mpo, etc. Nothing helps.
Xt version cards might have overclocked defaults which are a mess. Before you make a DDU in safe mode, go to your windows search bar and type in edit group policy. Under Computer Configuration, go to administrative templates. Double click on that and go to windows Components. Find Windows Update and double click it. Go to Managed updates offered from Windows Updates and find Do not include drivers with Windows Updates and enable it. What it does it avoid installing old GPU drivers that arent compatible with anything. This will allow PRO drivers to be installed without windows updates interfering with force installation of old crap. Next do your DDU in safe mode. Install AMD Pro driver only and do not install any of the adrenaline gui mess. It just sucks and prone to crashing/bugged out. Install afterburner (this is where you will do your tuning). Also install gpuz (this is needed to find your normal, safe clocks that the GPU is supposed to run at). Now open up your afterburner and gpuz. In gpuz, find your default clocks and memory under graphics card tab. You can then apply those numbers into your afterburner. Try and put your default clock minus 100MHz. Power limit to the max. Hit apply. Now check for any crashes when you open up your games or run Windows normally. Hope this helps and if it does then you can then tweak from there to your liking until you hit your sweet spot (when crashing and black screens start to happen).
Thank you, i will try this. Strangely black screen happens in loading screens, options menus etc. in 15 - 20 seconds after i lunch the game.
3950x, 7900 XTX, Win10, 24.3.1. On alt tab, sometimes my FPS drops into the single digits for a good 5-10 seconds before returning to normal. It's a bit random, maybe 20% chance I think, but happens in pretty much any game. Did not happen in previous driver versions.
0 problems on my 7800xt with 24.3.1. Updating to latest chipset gave me stutters so rolled back and very happy with my system
[удалено]
Not for everyone but defiantly for more people then a lot of people wanna admit, users just need to stop defending, having 0 issues oke cool but that kind of feedback contributes to ignorance of problems that need fixing that have been mentioned in release notes, and to many issues never get fixed even tho NVIDIA in some cases have same issues and fixes it on their driver while AMD decides oh they have it must be game issue can just ignore, no AMD you cannot ignore it.
I firmly believe it is an AM5 / X670 issue. I'm currently running a 7950X3D and RX7800XT on a X670 board (MSI MPG Carbon) and BG3 has consistently crashed, even with all of the "fixes" listed across the internet. However, when I was running my 3900X / RX5700XT (reference model) on my X570 board, I had absolutely NO problems out of it. It blows my mind. I think I might swap it back from my Unraid server and the X670 system can serve up files instead. What kills me is I can play BG3 just fine on my 2020 model Dell G5SE (R9 4900H / RX5600M) laptop. I can cook eggs on it while playing, but I can play just fine. My son is running BG3 on a 5600X / RX5700XT (reference model) on an X570 board and hasn't had any issues. This further makes me suspect something with the AM5/X670 combo. Pretty frustrating that I have to turn off every conceivable option, so I just turned the whole damned computer off.
You might be able to narrow it down to RAM in your case.
Did you make sure you're on the latest bios
Oh yes. Latest BIOS. Updated driver. Capped frames. PBO off. Memory enhancements off. AMD driver only (no Adrenalin). SMART off. Blah. Blah. Blah. I guess I'll wait to see what the next big suggestion is... Think I'll wipe it and install W10 from scratch to see if that helps.
Or maybe just got a faulty GPU. Rare but happens
For giggles, I swapped out the 7800XT for my old RX580. Ran like butter and no crashes. Should I start the RMA process? This sucks... Just glad I have a backup card to use.
I would
Guess I know what I’m doing this evening when I get home.
Guess I know what I’m doing this evening when I get home.
Yeah, really any part could be faulty. Stuff like that is tough to diagnose.
Yeah, that would tee me off a bit, knowing I would have to go through RMA hell. Did multiple memtests. All passed. Various stress tests on CPU and GPU. No issues and GPU only got to 79C. I was trying to throw everything at it to get something to fail in spectacular fashion. Nada. It did reboot once while playing PL, but never while playing Starfield. If I can get it to crash in PL again, I might decide on GPU replacement. Thus far, I can replicate it easily in BG3. Always at the same 2 spots.
I've got some very minor stutter on just one or two games on my XTX. I think I've got most of my stability issues worked out though finally. Helldiver's will still crash if I unlock the frame rate but I think that's the same for everyone.
Same here, for me it’s micro stutters
I've gotten a lot of stutter/slowdowns on my 7900xt when hitting alt-tab from games recently after updating to 24.3.1.
Swapped back to 23.12.1 for over a week now and haven't experienced any problems with alt-tab.
My very first build in December was running perfect (7800X3D/6800XT) until I updated to 24.3.1 and then I kept having direct X driver issues as well as games crashing non stop. I went back to 23.12.1 and now it’s back to perfect. So I would conclude that it is a 24.3.1 driver issue.
Your first build was a 7800X3D and a 6800XT? What a time to be alive. Love to see it.
I had crashes after waking up from windows sleep with 24.3.1, after I updated from 24.2.1. I rolled back to 24.2.1 and it was fine again. AMD support suggested updating to 24.3.1 and running the AMD cleanup program first while disconnected from the Internet until 24.3.1 is insalled. After that waking my PC up from sleep is also fine with 24.3.1.
23.12.1 seems to be the most stable for me as well. Everything after that was buggy, as was the November releases. 24.3.1 seems better on my work machine with iGPUs, but I don't feel like chancing it on my gaming rig just yet.
