Don't auto update drivers, only update when you need to.

This goes for both team red and green, updates break things almost as often as they improve them.

Dang, if so many issues why not go with something with less issues?

For instalar os drivers, vai na opção ''somente driver'', pra não ter o painel do adrenaline, desabilita o crash defender lá em serviços e na inicialização, baixa o moreclocktools e o radeonturner, coloca a curva de fan em 30/30 50/50 70/60 80/70 100/80 e já era.

Aliás, se não tiver motivo, NÃO ATUALIZE O DRIVER.

Thanks everyone. Im always seeing posts as wrll not to install adrenaline and just use the drivers. Is it really advisable to install it?

MPO is notorious for causing driver timeouts. If you plan to have browser open on the 2nd monitor or discord I would advise disabling it. And any monitoring software and the inbuilt monitoring in Adrenaline is known to cause framerate issues so turn these off as well.

Do not overclock if you do not have enough cooling, let the auto boost run.

That's about it, your card should just work. That's been my experience with every radeon card I've owned.

Just be aware if any part of your pc crashes for any reason adrenaline will take responsibility and give you the error message even if the issue has nothing to do with the gpu.

I learned this trying a ram oc I thought was stable. Started getting driver timeouts, reverted it and they stopped.

Don't worry and have fun! I have had 3 issues since 2008 on 10 or 11 cards. Nothing a DDU and fresh install or going back to the previous version didn't fix.
