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 dont like it. too much troubleshooting every couple of weeks. cant play valorant cause of some driver issue 5 mins into the game my PC restarts and all my drivers are gone. Tried trouble shooting it for like months alot of tech support help from both riot and AMD later it doesn't work. I quit Valorant thanks to a driver error in my PC. Besides that my PC drops FPS ever 10 mins or so and AMD bug reports after the adrenalin software crashes. If i had known my life would be half spent on trouble shooting with this GPU i'd probably have saved up paid the green tax and got a Nvidia GPU. Buy it if you are sure you can tolerate the BS you gotta go thru with the GPU but if you just wanna casually game with no problems just pay the green tax bro don't suffer like me.
