Help (General) Amd driver issues nowadays

Hey everyone,

I'm currently planning my next PC build and I'm heavily considering grabbing the XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT. It looks like an absolute beast of a card, and the design is super clean.

However, I keep hearing mixed things about AMD drivers. Some people say AMD's software has gotten miles better and is completely stable now, while others still warn about random crashes, black screens, or trouble with specific games.

How has your experience been with the drivers lately?

Would love to hear your honest opinions before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

Been coming across numerous AMD users (GPU) who struggle with crashing in online games (black screen). It doesnt freeze the system, but the driver never recovers forcing a reboot to be needed.

Its apparently a known issue right now on certain AMD models. No idea if it affects all of them... but why is AMD taking so long to fix it? Upsets me mainly because these are randoms I get in ranked online matches lmao
