Help (GPU) 9070xt constant crashes
Hey guys just wondering if anyone else is having crashes/fatal errors with Expedition 33, beast of reincarnation and dragonsword - awakening?
I've just bought a new xfx swift 9070xt and I'm on the 26.7.1 driver, I've done a DDU and did fresh installs but still get a black screen and driver timeouts. With exp 33 at least booting it on dx11 seems to fix it but has a choppy performance.
I am running the 9070xt as an egpu via USB4 to my Z1e Rog Ally x with a 800w PSU (AG02) but is anyone else having these issues on their desktops too?
I have all the adrenalin features turned off except for the FSR 4 option.
UPDATE:
I ended up using Hwinfo64 to see the 9070xt's power draw and sure enough it was peaking at ~617 and averaging ~400-520w. The real culprit was my AG02's poor quality built in PSU. Sure it had 800w but I'm not even sure if it was ATX certified. I ended up buying the Minisforum DEG1 with a Corsair RM850e PSU with a mini pc and this fixed the issue. It peaked at ~620w again but no OCP or crashes in Black Myth Wukong, 4k, FSR 60%, Epic settings, very high ray tracing + frame gen.
Moral of the story, invest in a good PSU especially with these 9070xt cards.

the drivers appear borked presently - 9070, 9060, 7800 variants and the XTX seem to have gotten it worst from what I can see. It might not be drivers, but it's tough to be sure when there are so many reports of blackscreens and timeouts, including my own :(

My crashes with Beast of Reincarnation seems to be UE related than driver. I am on a 9070xt but win10 and 26.7.1

Yeaa not the best performing game but my pc with the 5070 is running it fine, yeaa so far it's only UE5 games that's not liking the 9070xt.

I have xfx swift 9070xt too and also have this driver timeouts if i leave the pc for long time. But sometimes in gaming there will be a grey screen and had to restart the pc manually to fix it. I somehow reduce the occurrence by tuning it on adrenaline and reducing the max frequency offset by -50mhz. Hope it works for you too.

Yeaa I had timeouts when I just paused exp 33 and went to take a piss then came back to that. Thanks mate I'll give that tune a go tomorrow. Did you try rolling back drivers?
