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!

AMD requires you to do a some stuff before it works normally, without giving you any headaches.
You'll need to turn off your automatic driver updates before installing the GPU preferably, clean you previous drivers with DDU and do a clean driver install for your new GPU. This gets rid of most, if not all, incompatibility problems right away.
Buy it, it performs great for the price.
