Guys, have you encountered AMD GPU driver crashing problem?

I have a 6900XT and a 3080Ti.
my 6900XT has very frequent driver crashing problems.
But the 3080Ti almost never crashes.
This made me very annoyed. So much so that I started thinking about selling the 6900XT and waiting for a replacement 4090.

      i will always be an amd drone because i don't want to pay extra for useless features i'll never use like 4k performance, dlss and raytracing, instead i'll just get the amd card that's $1k cheaper with the same performance at 1080/1440

    is it the amd driver timeout?
    update your bios if you have a x570 or one of the newer intel boards since pci-e 4.0 has some documented issues
    also go into power settings on windows and swing the slider all the way to performance
    been over a year now of streaming with a 5700xt and playing, keep my pc on 24/7 and 0 timeout issues

      Had a 5700XT, any game running on Unity would hard-crash the GPU, requiring a full system restart. It happened for months before I finally said frick it and bought a 2070Super. My brother got the same card, and had a ton of similar issues, even got a replacement card from newegg and it had the same issues.

      Ended up selling mine for double the price I bought it on Ebay to some miner during the ETH boom, so I guess it was for the best

      My 5700XT had semi-frequent black screen crashes in Windows, poor performance in OpenGL games, and issues with DirectX 9 games. I have not had a single problem since I switched to Linux. If you still want to use Windows, I would suggest using Nvidia.

      I have a 5700xt, I had to frequently frick around with the gpu fan tuning just so the games didn't crash on me. It's working for now, but idk bros... I might go back to Nvidia.

        I had 5700x, bought in early 2020, always worked perfectly
        sold it to a miner for $1200 in may 2021 and replaced it with a 3060ti I found for $650 back then lmao why didnt you sell yours

            yeah sorry to say this bro but you bought a miner GPU 100%, I wouldn't be surprised if it's VRAM failure from mining 24/7

      I have used DDU. But the driver crash issue still exists. I'm considering whether to reinstall the whole windows 10 system.

      but to be fair if you buy a newly released amd card the drivers are always a crapshoot with blackscreens/bsods and weird edge cases for like 3 months until they smooth out all the driver bugs

    I do but only in very specific circumstances, mine crash if I leave a tab with twitter open in chrome with a video file playing on loop, I suspect it's actually one of my extensions causing this rather than twitter itself.

    Disabling hardware video acceleration has mitigated this for me but it will still crash eventually unless I terminate the tab.

    Games are 100% stable

    I have a Sapphire 6700XT Nitro+

    drivers and video encoding are the reason nvidia is still king despite AMD officially beating them in price per frame.

    If it wasn't for emulation I'd buy amd. First card I owned was an ati 9600xt. Shit was a beast. Ran crysis on low at 40 fps on it lol

      Most emulator projects have migrated to vulkan which AMD has a performance edge in, the upcoming beta driver will also add multithreaded scheduling support for OpenGL which will address AMD's biggest performance hurdle with it.

        The upcoming open gl driver is like 13 years late and from what I read nvidia will still have better opengl performance anyway.

          To be fair, AMD's software team is very autistic about implementing standards exactly to spec, multithreaded opengl is a big hack.

    I have a 6900 XT. I've experienced no problems with it. Fantastic card. The raytracing on it sucks compared to nvidia cards though so I can't wait until the 7000 series releases and see how much they've improved.

    i feel like this a shill but i seriously want to buy a 6600 xt with and a ryzen 5 5600x, i'm going to use it with an x570 motherboard; am i going to have the same problems of OP?

      No, however there is no sense using such a high end board with that cpu/gpu combo unless there are very specific features you need, consider a b550 (with flashback in case it has an old BIOS) instead

      • 2 years ago

        B550 is a massive cope. X570 boards aren't that much more expensive, have full PCIE4 on all SSD slots, and a shitload of SATA ports that don't lock up when installing an M.2 SSD.

    Boy, it's almost like every single generation we warn you that AMD has shitty drivers and yet you still fell for it.

      I bought the 6900xt because I just couldn't buy the original price of the Nvidia graphics card during the mining period.
      So I snapped up the 6900xt at the original price.
      I wasn't going to buy an AMD GPU.

    Yes, I thought it was a power issue so I replaced psu. Temps are great but I still get crashes occasionally. It's making me worried.

    AMD Driver issues happen almost every generation. They're usually not solved for a year or so typically. Happend with the 5000 series too. On top of that most games are just optimized for Nvidia gpu's.

    No, you need to find the right driver to play the selected game properly. Of course, you need to update the driver to play the newest, selected game properly. You can't have both, sirs.

    I don't think I've ever had driver issues with AMD. The only exception is that my 390 is now so old that it doesn't get new drivers so I recently had to do a workaround to play sunbreak.

    I've owned a couple AMD GPUs over the years and have never had an issue. The issues I did have were also replicable on Nvidia GPUs.

    Obviously people AMD isn't perfect and there are bound to be issues, same with Nvidia and Intel Arc(lol).

    But I've noticed a lot of the anti-AMD people think it's still the FX+GCN days, to be fair, other than their midrange(and outliers like the 7970ghz)cards, AMD was complete shit back than.

      GCN was pretty good. Way better than Terascale 1 or 2. Aged better than them at the very least.
