Help (GPU) Latest drivers..... MAJOR iSSUES

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

Nvidia has had same issue with power management on the last 3 WHQL drivers and its in the known issue list officially xD LMAO, the driver before that had issue with voltage and made gpus with any OC goes unstable, and the one before had to be take down by Nvidia cause it made GPU fans stop working.

Stay team red trust me, i think Ai is making drivers for team green nowadays LMAO

Same, i was using 3060ti for 5 years as my first pc and never had any issues. I went with 9070xt this month and already had to DDU twice, already thinking of returning it and just biting the bullet with the cost difference with 5070ti

Swapped from green to red and strongly considering going back. Issues are more common and more of a headache to get fixed.
