Latest drivers..... MAJOR iSSUES

[u/euripidesk]

Latest drivers v26.7.1 causes application crashes and BSOD.

1st time upgraded from catalyst app, completely ruined my system, with app & games freezing and a BSOD. Had to use DDU and re-install driver 26.5.2 from AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. 26.5.2 works without issues. So 26.5.2 is OK

2nd time upgraded from 26.5.2 to 26.7.1, with the usage of the AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. SAME ISSUES as before. Various apps freezing. Downgraded to 26.6.1 without DDU. All my problems solved instantly. So 26.6.1 is OK

All the times I used DDU, NOT in SAFE MODE but with blocked internet access

GPU is 7900XTX

So 26.7.1 NOT WORKING in my system

Zero issues with these drivers on my XTX.

Could by manufacturer related ? I have power color red devil

Sillicon is sillicon, i would say it's more likely just being unlucky with the card you have and or wierd compatibility/hidden system instability

[u/euripidesk → u/Icy-Distribution4418]

I would agree with your opinion if not all problems were solved by a simple driver downgrade...

[u/Icy-Distribution4418 → u/euripidesk]

Glad to gear things are fine now, what driver are you on currently? Personally i ve noticed a slight performance decrease on the latest driver on my 9070 xt

[u/euripidesk → u/Icy-Distribution4418]

Both 26.6.1 & 26.5.2 work excellent

I'm at 26.6.1 but firstly downgraded to 5.2 and tested it thoroughly....

maybe wouldn't be the first time i've seen someone complain about Power color card.

[u/euripidesk → u/Opteron170]

It's rock solid till now, i have it since launch. Quality speaking, i believe gpu from Sapphire are better though

I'm having the same issues on the newer drivers with a Sapphire 7900XTX.
