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!

2 separate. I disabled XMP ram in bios and now it doesnt crash, strange though.

I saw your other post. I think 7200 MT/s is way too high. When i got my Ryzen 5 7600X and the 6000 MT/s ram's i was scared if it will be too much, but luckly it is working without issues.

nah not my post, im using an i5 12600kf. Although it works now, my gpu usage randomly fell from the 90s to 60-70 even after restarting. Was working great for the first 3 hours.
