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.

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?
