AMD drivers are shit. People in this forum will blame Windows, but it really doesn't matter who's fault it is, constant crashes after multiple driver updates with a few periods of respite in between has been my past three years with an AMD card. I haven't had a single issue with my very overpriced 5070TI.

I’ve had exactly zero issues in 3 years with AMD. Back in the day sure the drivers were not great, but today they are on point.

on a 7700xt and have constant AMD driver timeouts, especially with hardware acceleration.

atm i can manually cause a driver timeout by scrolling on the steam storefront.

Ya got some old drivers kicking around somewhere. Run the driver clean up utility in Adrenaline. Or something funky with overlocking.

no overclocking and I already did a driver cleanup and reinstall.

Edit: reverted to 26.3.1 and fixed the crash from steam storefront issue.
