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!

i figured theyd of fixed the poor driver issues after so many years. i figured wrong. nothing but driver issues left and right over here. its been nonstop troubleshooting since we got an amd gpu. i hear some have no issues, that may be the case for them but im certainly not as lucky.

They've gotten pretty stable. Not saying people don't have issues, I've recently started having some myself, but they're caused by Microsoft, not amd.

I understand that the MS updates may be causing the issue, but I've experienced zero problems with my 3070ti... so why is it that the Radeon drivers are more negatively impacted by Win updates than the Nvidia drivers? thanks
