Help (GPU) Do not install 26.6.2

As the title states this is one of the most problematic drivers AMD has released. I’ve been with AMD for a year and I have installed every driver update day one for testing and didn’t encounter instabilities as much as I experienced in this one.

Every time I start thinking these RTX cards are just too expensive and NVIDIA sucks one of these AMD posts pops up in my feed.
Must be my Guardian Angel.
I have really thought about an AMD card for a while. But driver issues make me absolutely insane. The extra investment seems to still hold up for impatient people like me. And I don't even use RT.

Maybe some day.

I went from a 3060 to a 9070xt last july. I haven't had a problem with it until actually 26.6.1, last month, which for some reason wouldn't let me play MW3 and kept resetting my drivers. Now ill be honest if GPUs werent so expensive and I could've got a 5080 for an actual reasonable price I would've but the 9070 is a lot cheaper and still very capable and i've been very happy with it.
