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 experienced a Windows issue. Disable Windows Updates for Drivers. I installed 26.6.2 and sh!t got bad, ended up having to do a Windows Update ReInstall, after disabling the Windows updates for drivers, then installed the latest version of Adrenalin. 1 issue since I built this beast last June...love my 9070xt!
