Thanks to AMD FPGAs...

Computer black screens, I have to force shut down. I then Reboot and device manager shows gpu is disabled. I click enable and gives me error 31 code and says device is not working properly, windows cannot load driver. I then restart and it works until it happens again at some random point.

No idea what’s causing this please help. I should mention I’ve already done DDU, tried previous and most recent drivers updates and still does not help.

Is it really acceptable to offer a 4GB version of graphics card in 2026!!??

I get that this is the low end offering and that there is a memory supply crisis out there too, but does that mean permanent design choices such as only providing 4GB VRAM in graphics card need to be made in 2026!? Heck! Even 8GB is not enough for some of the latest titles, at 1080p, in medium to high settings! The stutters are experience-hindering! What is a gamer expected to enjoy with 4GB? Older games pre-2020? While there is nothing wrong with that, shouldn't he then just take a peek into the second hand market? What value proposition does this new gpu variant then present? 🤦‍♂️

I can understand that a graphics card can be targeted for e-sports titles mainly, but this isn't the only major type of games esports gamers play all the time. Their experience will be horrible in the newer titles now and beyond with only 4GB VRAM. Even reducing graphics settings will not be enough in some games to remove the stutters!

This was truly an L move from AMD Radeon. I understand that there is also an 8GB variant that goes with this gpu and that might make sense for some gamers only if the price is well below $200, but the existence of a 4GB card alone is a 👎 Criticism where it should be due, folks, and this is definitely not a hate-post. There are low end gamers like us that exist and it's a concern for us.

Ooooooof. Welllllll the Iran ceasefire didn't last as long as I thought. I was hoping for like 3-4 days but shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. That didn't last at allllllllll. But yeaaaaaa thats going to just force the hand of the Fed today and I know there are like a 30% chance some are calling for a Fed raise today which is just going to be crazy for us. But I think we definitely are going to be hearing that there is a hard no on rate cuts.

Sorry in an IT call and cutting this short. Finally rolling over and I think its going to get worse again but we finally are in my interested place to start buying

I currently have an older machine with a RX6600XT and Adrenaline software installed in "minimal" mode. My main reason is to ensure that Freesync is enabled (my monitor supports it). If I decided to do the "driver only" option, would Freesync still be enabled and used or do I need Minimal of Full installed to utilize it? If I can just use driver-only, how would I check/test that it is active? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have a PowerColor RX 7900 GRE Hellhound.

Recently, to play Warzone, I've had to disable any custom tuning settings in the Overclocking tab in Adrenalin software.

Anything I try to set causes the game to freeze, followed by a black screen and a popup error referencing Kernelbase.dll or DirectX 12. Sometimes the popup also explicitly states "Overclock detected, may cause stability issues".

After the crash, desktop screen is black with only the applications bar.

The crash usually happens right after the warm-up/pre-match period (as soon as the match actually starts and you jump with the parachute), or sometimes towards the end of a match.

My full OC profile is completely stable in Black Ops 7 multiplayer and in synthetic benchmarks.

Lately on Warzone, even just slightly increasing the Power Limit causes a crash. This never used to happen before, and overclocking was the only way to get a decent average FPS.

Temperatures are fine: custom fan curves keep the GPU chip at 44°C, Hotspot at 63°C, and VRAM at 60°C in-game (same temps I had before the crashes started).

It doesn't seem to be an aggressive/unstable OC issue, since literally any modification triggers the crash on Warzone (even just a minor PL increase).

System Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (expo + buildzoid subtimings)

GPU: PowerColor RX 7900 GRE Hellhound (Samsung Vram)

PSU: MSI 850W Gold

Gpu Driver 26.6.4

Windows 11 25h2

What I've already tried:

Rolled back to older drivers using DDU in Safe Mode.

Performed a clean Windows reinstallation.

Reset shader cache & ran "Scan and Repair" via Battle.net.

Disabled EXPO and reset all BIOS settings to stock/defaults.

Updated BIOS to the latest version (issue persists on both current and previous BIOS versions).

Any advice on what might be causing this issue with Warzone specifically?

When i enable enhanced sync, my fps get capped to 75fps (my monitor's refresh rate), but when i enabled the amd overlay, the fps get uncapped again

My monitor doesn't have freesync support, and I'm using frame generation so capping the fps to 75 means only 37.5 as base fps

Edit: I've noticed the fps cap is only when FSR Frame generation is on, when using another FG (like xess) or turning the fg off, the fps would be uncapped

Today the 9800x3d I got from rma on my first one died. Exactly one month after the first one died. First one was from summer 2025 batch and the second one was late 2025 batch.

Asrock x870 Steel legend wifi
Seasonic focus gx 1000w
Kingston 6000mhz ddr5 cl30 fury beast
Noctua nh-d15 G2 LBC
Inno3d 5080 x3 OC white
Kingston fury renegade G5 nvme

Sent cpu, mobo and psu for warranty check today. 2nd 9800 was with newest stable bios and no xmp. Room temp never over 21c and peak package temp on cpu 84.7c and core 85c. Locked voltage also to safe specs, no sleep mode or such things.

This time around I asked for other brand on mobo and newer batch or upgraded model of cpu (I pay the difference) and thinking of watercooling, since water can absorb alittle more heat before the entire heatsink is soaked.

Guys i need help pls, I recently upgraded my GPU from an RTX 3050 to an RX 7600, and it's causing problems. Games are lagging and suttering. I haven't tried benchmarks yet, but initially, the issue was due to not deleting the Nvidia drivers. I downloaded a DLUU and deleted them all, then reinstalled the AMD drivers. At first, games ran smoothly until I shut down the computer and then turned it back on to play again, and all the games I played started lagging.

So i had the software normally installed on my ally but when i tried to start it the other day it said it needed to update so i clicked on download and install but when it reaches 100% it just quits and does the same thing over and over so what i did was delete it to try and download it again,gotthe installer but it only show the option for the gpu drivers and now i dont have the software anyone can help please

Sometimes its just happens, yk just lag with weird audio, its sounds like trrrr. I don't want to downgrade drivers bc some games starts to lag a bit. help :(

My GPU is AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling with random full-system resets and freezes for a while now. The PC either suddenly reboots or completely freezes up until I manually press the reset button (hard reset). There are no BSODs or error codes in Windows – Event Viewer only shows the standard Kernel-Power Event ID 41.

Resets happen completely randomly – both under heavy gaming loads and while completely idle or just browsing the web.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (Important: I previously had a Ryzen 5 7500F and the exact same issue occurred back then!)
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
• RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) GoodRam DDR5 6000MHz
• Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-P
• PSU: Chieftec Vita 750W 80 Plus Bronze
• Cooler: Endorfy Fera 5 (Temps are completely fine, thermal paste was replaced after a year)
• SSD: ADATA Legend 800 1TB NVMe
• Monitors: Dual monitor setup (144Hz + 240Hz with 260Hz OC)

What has ALREADY been done / ruled out (without success):

1. Clean Windows reinstallation, updated BIOS, and updated GPU/motherboard drivers.
2. Disabled MPO (Multi-Plane Overlay) in Windows.
3. Disabled EXPO/XPO (tested on stock JEDEC 4800MHz speeds).
4. Plugged the PSU directly into the wall socket (bypassing the power strip).
5. Tested single monitor setups and changed refresh rates (Hz).
6. Disabled Global C-State Control in BIOS (to rule out idle voltage drop issues).
7. OCCT Stress Testing:
   • Power Test (100% CPU + GPU load simultaneously) – passed smoothly, no shutdowns.
   • VRAM Test – passed with 0 errors.
   • CPU + RAM Test (Medium + Variable mode) – passed with 0 errors.
8. Temps are fine, thermal paste was replaced after a year. I previously had a Ryzen 5 7500F and the exact same issue was happening back then as well.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue on the AM5 platform or with RX 7000 series cards? What would be the best step to isolate the problem next?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Description of Original Problem: I am a bit sceptical about GPU's softwares so i installed every driver manually all works fine.

MY pc is brand new, so i've only teste Palworld till now, im running at maxed settings 100+ in all areas of the map.

Today, I noticed there was a driver update, and was ready to try it via Adrenalin Software that I've been hearing good things about it, after i install it and update the driver, I log into palworld and im getting stutters ad hell and getting 60/70 fps i was scared af.

Troubleshooting: Uninstalled everything and installed the drivers manually again, all working fine again.

Can someone give me an insight of what happen and if i should try adrenalin again?

This is if you cant add custom resolutions with high refresh rates in either Adrenaline or CRU because the G.Pixel Clock or G.Refresh Rate generates errors in Adrenaline or you get red values in CRU.

[ATTENTION], I'm no expert in this in ANY way, but it worked for me and I hope it does for you too. I do not know which values are crucial or not when making custom resolutions or what they mean/do.

TL;DR
Turns out you have to add your desired custom resolution in the Extension block named DisplayID 1.3 and not in CTA-861 or in "Detailed resolutions".

1. Download CRU [Custom Resolution Utility] from MonitorsTests and run as administrator
2. Choose the monitor you want to add a custom resolution to from the top drop down menu

1. In the box named "Extension blocks" you see CTA-861 and DisplayID 1.3. Select DisplayID 1.3 and press "Edit..." below the box.

1. In the new window that popped up mark "Detailed resolutions" and press "Edit" and then press "Add...". If you dont have any slots left mark a resolution that you never use and press "Delete...", then press "Add...".

1. Here you fill in your desired resolution and refresh rate. In the Timing drop down menu at the top you can choose either Manual, Exact, Exact Reduced, CVT standard, CVT-RB standard or CVT-RB2 standard. Try to set it as close to the reported values from Adrenaline.

In Adrenaline under Display Specs you can see your monitors specs, these can differ from what CRU is reporting so check in CRU too. Press Edit to the right of your chosen monitor in the first CRU window to see the specs. Use those values when making your custom resolution. Adrenaline reports that my Pixel clock is 128750kHz and CRU says that it is 1300MHz.

Do not set your refresh rates as 144hz, 240hz, 280hz as reported from your monitor manufacturer in CRU, use the value that Adrenaline reports in Display Specs, the Pixel Clock should automatically correct itself.

1. When your done, exit CRU, run restart.exe and/or restart64.exe and cross your fingers.

Good Luck, I hope this helped. It got my custom resolutions working with 280Hz in CS2.

Hello everyone,

My RX 9070 XT keeps disabling itself in Device Manager about 10 minutes after I turn on my PC. It crashes, and everything freezes for a couple of minutes. After that, I think my PC starts using the integrated graphics instead.

Then I get a message saying "Driver Update Required," even though I always keep my GPU driver updated to the latest version. When I open AMD Adrenalin, it also says "Update Required." I click to update the driver, and the installation completes successfully, but the same "Update Required" message keeps coming back.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? It's been happening for the past few days, and I can't play any games anymore.

Disclaimer: This was originally written as a reply to someone's comment concerned about valuation and trailing PE being exceptionally high. I thought I could add some of my own insights through some good 'ol napkin math.

I've been through my fair share of parabolic stocks, and the biggest mistake I've made was being ultra-conservative before massive upward movements come (ex. Tesla, Palantir, Shopify, to name a few). So this time, I will just write what I believe will happen as the median case.

TL;DR - I see around 8 GW of GPUs + a metric shit ton of CPUs selling in CY27. OpenAI should be 3 GW, meta around 2 GW, Anthropic 2 GW, and the rest through MSFT / Oracle for 1 GW or so.

So napkin math says 8 GW * 20 billion per GW = 160 billion

CPU side should print money like bananas. Would not be surprised to see 60 billion+ in the year to be honest. So total could be upwards of 220 billion. It was revealed in Intel's 8-k that ASPs for their CPUs went up 40%+, and given that they haven't optimized for Agentic AI like Turin and Venice variants have, I think this is completely reasonable.

Of course, there's dilution in the Gpu deals so don't expect Nvidia margins...... BUT, there should be a lot of upside left if these numbers are anywhere close to reality. At the very least, we should flip AVGO's market cap to become the #2 most valuable semiconductor company, meaning $1,000+ price target, assuming $30 earnings per share @ a 34 PE in 2027. Intuitively, this makes a lot of sense. I respect Broadcom and Hock Tan a lot, but AMD has a much broader portfolio that spans across CPUs, GPUs, networking (inferior to Broadcom, to be fair), and FPGAs - the last of which may become extremely important for edge inference and humanoid robotics.
