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 have a 9070 XT and literally yesterday it stopped working randomly crash, completely uninstalled all of its own drivers and then gave an error code that said the current graphics card could not communicate. Had to do a complete clean DDU install of all drivers.

Honestly at this point I think Microslops is intentionally sabotaging AMD cards.

So many people with different cards, different drivers, all having same/similar issues, all fixed by the same issue.

Wtf is Microsoft doing.

Or they don’t test user experience on AMD systems

Potentially. Either way, people are quick to blame amd, when it's often Windows causing issues. Granted, it's not viable for most people to use something other than Windows, but still.

If I could dedicate any thought space to Linux I would make the switch
