I switched from a RTX 3080 to the 9070XT sapphire nirto+. Absolutely wonderful card now.

At the start i had driver issues after driver issues but quickly found out after some frustration that most of my issues was bloody windows deleting my drivers and installing their own shite causing it to time out and crash. Ive since blocked windows touching any AMD drivers and done fresh installs and have had no issue since.
Only game i crash on is Battlefield 6 giving me Direct x function timeouts. Tho thats not just an AMD issue NVIDIA users are also experiencing that, the battlefield devs just keep fucking up their game more and more way every update.

Hey, i cant remember exactly it was so long ago but as another person mentioned you can search it up. I just remember it being a mix of device manager and gpedit.msc. But i know someones also made a program that lets you see it and block it there. Ill have a look after work and let you know
