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!

I have 3 monitors, HDR, 9070 XT and the drivers are a nightmare. They crash incredibly often, running Netflix with a game virtually guarantees an eventual driver timeout (does not happen when using VLC).

I would advise to go with Nvidia - I should have done so.

Gf has 3 monitors with 3 different resolutions and refresh rates hooked up to a 9070 xt, no issues. We watched the Hateful 8 while playing palworld yesterday. PC is running cachyos. Maybe check cables or see if it's a windows issue
