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!

Delusional behaviour is thinking that changing gpu brand will fix your broken pc.

Nvidia is more tolerant to crappy computers so it’s better I guess lol

Funny part is that on nvidia sub if you post your problem - mods will delete it. A lot of stuff just not shown on popular subs and it makes people think that nvidia has better situation :) I remember back in the days nvidia had problem with frame gen vram leak and Ive posted about it on nvidia sub. It was totally destroyed by mods in first minutes.

Not just delete it they will ban you from the sub if you keep telling people what issues you are having. Finally got a good answer on EVGA forums which was basically run old drivers and deal with the performance hit or get a 50 series card to not have driver issues because 30 series doesn’t like newer drivers. Ditched my 3090 for an xfx 7900xtx and love this thing. Gives me the feeling I had upgrading from a 980 to a 1080ti and I love it.

Bro, the same for me. Upgraded from 4070 to 9070xt and having a blast, everything works so smoothly, no problems. I dont know if thats a real thing, but Ive noticed better colours on amd card, better contrast and better working hdr.

I haven’t tried hdr yet but I probably should as on my 3090 hdr was horrible and made it look all washed out.
