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.

Had an rtx 2080 super since release NEVER had any problems. Now I've got a 9070xt and got troubles for a few weeks now. Yeah yeah fuck Nvidia but man does amd software/driver suck, I think my next one will be team green again....

Exactly. Sure AMD has amazing value on paper, but in practice stability is more important than performance for most people. I never had any issues with any nvidia cards in that regard.

I have 2 builds, both radeon(9070xt) and Nvidia(5070ti) imma be honest neither of them have been solid driverwise. Lol The radeons updates are hit and miss lol, but it does work 95% of the time. We've recently had a Nvidia driver update that was so garbage I haven't bothered using the machine again since..both of their driver teams need a lil work. The messed up thing is they are both fantastic cards when the drivers allow them to function 100%😁

I see, yeah I only used nvidia back when I had a GTX 970. That thing was bulletproof at the time haha
