I’ve had my 9070xt for about 2 months now. I bought it after my 4060 killed itself during a driver update, I went with a fresh install of windows and installed the gpu along with drivers and software. I’ve been underwhelmed so far, I run into constant glitches, crashes, and I can’t run my computer in safe mode any longer(I believe unrelated as I know I can switch with deep dive into bios settings). So my question is, is this the AMD trope, am I poorly utilizing the software settings? Happy to be pointed in any direction that could lead to a positive experience.

I play SoT, The finals, Rocket League, and various FPS/car games, I run 1440p and 4k depending on the games age.

Description of Original Problem:

Hey guys,

Running into a really weird issue and kinda running out of ideas.

What happened:

I was playing Gothic Remake when my FPS suddenly plummeted down to literally 3 FPS. I restarted the game, but now it's stuck at around 35-40 FPS in areas where I used to get 100+ FPS.

It's not just Gothic either — all my games took a huge hit:

CS2: Barely hovering around ~120 FPS now

Crimson Desert: ~40 FPS

The weird part:

Synthetic benchmarks (FurMark) are still giving me normal expected scores. It’s ONLY actual games that are running like garbage. Temperatures look totally fine, so it doesn't seem like thermal throttling.

What I’ve already done:

Used DDU in Safe Mode and reinstalled fresh GPU drivers

Did a completely clean reinstall of Windows 11

Still no luck. Could this be some weird PCIe lane stuck in x1/x4 mode, a power state bug, or something with Adrenalin settings?

Any ideas on what else I should check or test? Appreciate any help!

EDIT: If anyone needs screenshot logs or sensor readings from HWiNFO, GPU-Z, or CapFrameX while running a game, let me know and I'll upload them!

I have 3 different computer and I've owned multiple AMD cards at this point and no matter what the AMD auto undervolt/prefer performance keeps resetting to custom. I've gone back and forth with claude to fix it and tried a few of the simple fixes but why is this even a thing at this point. I don't do anything crazy, my only setting I have right now that might affect it is I have it so it turns off the monitor automatically instead of sleep after 10 minutes. I get it maybe happening on one computer but this happens on all of them. My Nvidia computer doesn't do it at all. Heck my computer sometimes freezes with the monitor off and I have to straight up reboot.

Rant over, reddit, tell me I'm wrong I'm doing something dumb and it's actually just a simple fix. I won't take just leave the computer running constantly with the screen on as an answer.

Also I should not have to touch registry edit, turn off fast boot or turn off free sync in order to fix it.

Description of Original Problem: I recently had to return my RX6600 on warranty and got a RX7600 as a replacement, but can't get it to work in my machine.

Whenever the GPU is plugged in and the system is set to UEFI, it never gets to POST or even lets me enter the BIOS. With the GPU plugged in and the system set to CSM, it boots fine using integrated graphics and the GPU is detected, but marked as faulty in the device manager.

Troubleshooting:

What I've tried to far (in no particular order):

• Tested the GPU in another (much older) machine, where it worked OOTB.
• Tested the old system's Nvidia GPU on my machine, which worked OOTB.
• Cleared CMOS with the RX7600 installed
• Tried different HDMI and DP ports on the GPU
• Updated the BIOS to two different versions, first the most recent and then a slightly older one
• Run the AMD Remover Tool x2 and reinstalled drivers, I am getting the PA-300 error every time and have attempted this fix (manually) without result
• Run DDU in safe mode as adviced and reinstalled drivers, same result as above
• Changed the 4G-setting in BIOS
• Changed safe boot settings in BIOS
• Changed PCIe settings between auto and 3rd/4th

Need help resolving this issue it keeps happening every time I try to use my laptop camera and sometimes when I'm playing a video or web browsing. I used AMD cleanup utility to remove the drivers and the camera functioned normally but upon reinstalling them using AMD adrenalin software which auto detects the drivers the issue has returned. Can someone help me with a solution to this.

Description of Original Problem:

After we upgraded from a Aorus B450 Pro (bricked during bios Q-flash - different story) RTX 2070 and a 3600x, we get terrible stutters in Aion 2. Performance is worse than before, but Timespy score is as expected (~21.000).

Troubleshooting:

Reinstalled Aion 2 on the SSD (previously was on HDD). Removed all drivers with DDU and reinstalled. Updated chipset and LAN drivers through the ASUS site.

Tried the Memory with and without XMP. Changed different ingame Settings. Temps on GPU/CPU are fine in HWinfo.

We did not touch the old windows as of yet.

Windows 11 updates are making my computer unusable; they conflict with my graphics card driver and make it difficult to boot, eventually preventing it from booting at all. Windows gets stuck in an endless loop on the boot wheel and won't start. I stopped Windows Update and it worked fine then. How can I fix this problem? Will I never be able to use AMD again?

New PC: Ryzen 9 9900X, Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT, ASUS TUF B850-PLUS WiFi, Corsair RM850e, Windows 11.

Roblox freezes on the menu when set to use the RX 9070 XT; Minecraft has also crashed in its menu. Roblox has worked on Power Saving (integrated graphics). During earlier freezes, Task Manager and other Windows apps also stopped responding.

So far: ran DDU twice and installed AMD Adrenalin 26.8.1 Recommended; installed AMD chipset drivers 8.08.12.551; cleared CMOS and reseated the GPU. Windows detects the RX 9070 XT in Device Manager without a warning. The latest DDU reinstall has just been completed; I haven’t confirmed whether the freeze still happens after that reinstall.

The GPU latch appears locked and the gold contacts are hidden, but I’m unsure about a small visible gap. There’s also a flashing green light behind the card. The GPU fans are stopped at idle.

Idk what's causing this but is it helpful if I just use ddu first then boot normally then update to the optional drivers? I usually dont boot to safemode when upgrading drivers just a simple click to the Exe and update. After that it goes downhill I restart then boom after a few minutes it just hangs, oh and I dont update my w11 I use windows update blocker idk if this is a factor as well? Tia!!

Most stable driver I use is 26.7.1 upgrading to 9.1 to 9.2 causes freezes and hangs

I'm trying to play witcher 3 remastered, but the game launcher says that my drivers are outdated. And when i try to play anyway, there are visual glitches. Adrenaline Software says that my drivers are up to date and version number is 26.8.1. Is there a newer version? (9070xt)

For context, card is almost a month old. I’ve played a few heavy 4K titles on it since then with no probs
- MGS Delta
- 007 First Light
- KCD 2
- Cyberpunk

Issue seems to be happening on several games
- Control Resonant
- Ready or not
- Occasionally on random, less demanding games

The issue happening with above games is that when i launch them, the GPU appears to completely stop giving display output. The system is also unresponsive to any input unless i force shutdown

Current Setup:
- Sapphire 9070XT OC
- Ryzen 9700x
- 32GB DDR5 CL36 Memory (EXPO is off)
- 850W psu from thermaltake
- GPU is running two seperate PCIe cables instead of a daisy chained config

What I’ve already tried
- Cleaning with DDU and reinstalling latest stable
- Updating to optional 26.9.2 driver (using DDU beforehand)
- Disabling HAGS
- Disabling MPO
- Undervolting ( i think i tried both -50 and -80mV )
- Underclocking
- Downgrading to a 25.x driver

So this is first time using an AMD card, i'm using a 9070 XT, I turn on the noise suppression and set my mic to the option, but when I change the setting in discord to the "AMD Noise Suppression" option it doesn't pick up my mic or voice. I have no idea what I could do to help it pick up my mic.

Is it normal to reach 311w while gaming and watching youtube videos?

No OC no undervolting

Vsync on 180hz on a 1440p monitor and my gpu reaches like 311w while gaming

Tested in Russian fishing 4

I have been having this problem for a long time I reinstalled drivers and it still does the same.I also get random black screen when idling

Estou precisando de ajuda. Estou com um PC kit Xeon, config: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v4 @ 2.20GHz, 2.20 GHz, RAM 16,0 GB, placa de vídeo RX 580. Meu problema foi o seguinte: eu nunca tinha usado segundo monitor nesse PC, sempre usei 1 e nunca tinha visto problema nele. Aí agora comprei um porque estou precisando para trabalho. A placa já usa HDMI no monitor principal, aí comprei um adaptador de HDMI do monitor novo para o DisplayPort da placa. Ele funciona tudo direitinho, só que a segunda tela fica dando flicker. Já tentei quase tudo, pelo menos acho, e não consigo resolver. Já mudei os HZ para 60 nos dois monitores e ajudou; agora só esse flicker que não para. Ele acontece do nada ou quando o mundo de aba no monitor principal e os cabos que comprei agora são novos. Quem puder me ajudar, vou agradecer demais. Obrigado.

Before anyone starts with the “enjoy not being able to play half of your games” schtick, I don’t fucking care. I’ll buy another SSD in a few months to boot Windows onto later on. Right now, I just want to play games for more than an hour without a driver timeout. Considering this is because windows is absolute dogwater and they keep overwriting AMD drivers; am I going to experience stability on linux? Im looking for people who actually run Linux to answer, or someone who dabbles in both. At my wits end here and I’m just looking to find a solution that isn’t a $1600 Nvidia GPU. I’ve already did the registry edits, I’ve done a million different driver versions under the sun, I’ve cleared shaders, updates BiOS, turned down the frequency, the whole 9 yards and it still times out. I’m just tired, and I want to enjoy the money I worked very hard for on my PC.

7800x3D
7900XT

It never happened on my last pc, but since upgrading my pc cant wake up from sleep and i get the vga light and the only fix is to restart.
Specifications:
cpu: ryzen 7 7800x3d

gpu: rx 7800xt (had it before the upgrade with no issues)

mobo: aorus x870 ice

ram: 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 ram

psu: 1000w trusted and good psu

Pc works absollutly normal and has no issues with restarts and turning on. Gpu connected to psu with 2 independent power cables and not daisy chained ones. I tried resitting the gpu, changing cables, upgrading bios version, different drivers (with DDU) with no help. Before the upgrade i used sleep mode a lot and now its kinda anoying to turn off the pc every single time i go to sleep or wake up. Any advice/solution?

What pads should i use? i cant find anything on internet about that. Also there's this little thing close to the video ports, like a PWM or voltage controller, i think there also should be a pad. On original pads the gpu and hotspot temperature were nearly the same, like 70 degress celcius, after changing pads to 1.5mm on VRM and this little controller and 1mm on VRAM the hotspot went to like 85 degrees

SO, does a 50-60€ lower price justify buying on aliexpress ?? how do i even know if the seller is legit ?

im trying to get a 9800x3d, currently 370€ on aliexpress and 430€ on amazon.

Should i take the leap ?

Hello everyone a newbie here .

A few days ago, I suddenly started experiencing extreme stuttering and lag spikes in EA FC 27 and PUBG, respectively.

My PC specs are:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 7200MHz
• Motherboard: A budget B650 motherboard
• Monitor: 165Hz (not sure if this is relevant)

Everything was running smoothly until one day, when, out of nowhere, both games started stuttering like crazy. Ever since then, I haven't been able to find a solution.

I've tried multiple driver versions, checked my BIOS settings and RAM speeds, restarted my PC countless times, and even reset Windows. I've also experimented with countless combinations of in-game settings and AMD Adrenalin settings, but nothing has worked.

The only weird thing I've noticed is that AMD Adrenalin was reporting my CPU temperature at 85°C, while every third-party monitoring program showed a lower temperature. However, even when the PC is completely cool, I still experience the same stuttering.

I've also tried a bunch of tweaks and fixes I found on Reddit, all to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or what else I should try? I'm honestly at the point where I'm ready to throw this PC in the trash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K

Motherboard: Unknown / not relevant to the issue

RAM: 32GB

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Pro

Monitor: 34" ultrawide, 3440x1440, 165Hz, Adaptive Sync / FreeSync, connected via DisplayPort

GPU Drivers: AMD Adrenalin, current driver at the time of troubleshooting

Description of Original Problem:

After connecting a 3440x1440 165Hz FreeSync monitor, I started getting strange screen flickering.

It first happened specifically in the PokerStars Spin & Go lobby. Part of the upper screen would flash/flicker with a dark red or burgundy colour.

Later I noticed similar flickering in Google Chrome.

The problem strongly depended on refresh rate:

- 120Hz: no flickering
- Around 140Hz: flickering was less frequent and affected a smaller area
- 165Hz: flickering was much more noticeable

Disabling Adaptive Sync / FreeSync on the monitor stopped the flickering completely.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome also stopped the flickering.

Troubleshooting:

I tried the following:

- Different refresh rates
- Disabling FreeSync for PokerStars in AMD Adrenalin
- Disabling Adaptive Sync on the monitor
- Clearing PokerStars application and lobby cache
- Disabling hardware acceleration inside PokerStars
- Disabling WebView2 GPU acceleration for PokerStars
- Testing PokerStars at 60Hz, 120Hz, 140Hz and 165Hz

The monitor and DisplayPort connection worked normally at 165Hz when Adaptive Sync was disabled.

The fix that finally worked was disabling Windows Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO).

How I disabled MPO:

1. Press Win + R

2. Type:

regedit

3. Press Enter.

4. In Registry Editor go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm

5. Click the Dwm folder.

6. Right-click an empty area in the right-hand pane.

7. Select:

New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

8. Name it:

OverlayTestMode

9. Double-click OverlayTestMode.

10. Set Value data to:

5

I left Base set to Hexadecimal.

11. Click OK.

12. Restart Windows.

Result:

After the restart, the flickering disappeared completely.

I can now use:

3440x1440
165Hz
FreeSync / Adaptive Sync enabled
Chrome hardware acceleration enabled

without any flickering.

How to undo the change:

Go back to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm

Delete:

OverlayTestMode

Then restart Windows.

Conclusion:

In my case the monitor, GPU and DisplayPort cable were apparently fine.

The issue seems to have been a compatibility problem involving Windows MPO, AMD graphics, hardware-accelerated applications and FreeSync / VRR.

Obviously this may not fix every flickering issue, and editing the Registry should be done carefully, but if your symptoms are similar it may be worth testing.
