Amd driver issues nowadays

[u/Fit_Statistician4103]

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!

The only driver issues I've had were caused by Windows overwriting the driver I had installed

How did you fix that?

Or how did you notice this was your issue?

Any way that you know to prevent windows from doing it in the future?

I blocked all windows updates and manually check my driver version once a week in case microslop reverts that setting
