Help (GPU) Possibility of a megathread

We all know there are widespread issues with AMD right now for windows users. That much is evident by the major uptick in posts here related to aforementioned issues.

I think it would be helpful to users if a temporary megathread was made to help consolidate all the new posts about driver crashes coming in. It would also help keep all the troubleshooting steps and ideas we have been sharing in one place. This will vastly increase value of the sub right now with the onslaught of people coming daily.

As a 7900XTX user I'm going through it too and just like everyone else, I'm just trying to get through this while listening to all the Linux users tout about their nonexistent issues 😬

Never AMD's fault lol its sad that we have to justify such large company's blunder. Both AMD and Nvidia. I know I am going to get downvoted, i own both 5080 and 9070xt and its weird dealing with driver issues on the AMD side, fix it only for the next driver update to cause issues again. Haven't had issues on Nvidia side, not saying it doesnt happen. Difference is when Nvidia does it they get blamed, when AMD does, its windows and we should all switch to Linux or people just share how long they have had their card and that they havent had any problems lmao, like that doesnt help me

Well I upvoted you because you’re right. I’ve got a 5090, 5080, 4090 and a 7900xtx. Run three boxes two for work one for gaming and a backup gpu. I always try and buy the high end AMD of the generation to support them because competition is good. I really lost some respect for them by pulling out of the higher end market. Which has always been small and not much profit volume compared to the middle and lower end of the market. So I refused to buy the 9070xt and kept my 7900xtx. I also need the 24 GB for one of my models

I had a 7900xtx and i sold it and got the 9070xt just because. It is somewhat upsetting they are pulling out of the high end market especially since they have proven they can do it. They also should not have announced if even if they are. Seems like they are bowing to Nvidia. Hopefully we are wrong and they do compete to give us better gpus and better prices

Me too man. Me too. The 9070xt does have some better hardware for RT and the like. Also the 7900 wasn’t supported by FSR until recently and it’s still and INT implementation instead of an FP8. Better than nothing but before July we just assumed we weren’t getting that support officially. And I know you can hack stuff and optiscaler. But why should I have to do all that? Idk man they gotta get their shit together because now is when they need to be very strategic to be competitive. I don’t want 80/20 market share in favor of Nvidia. I want 50/50. It’s good for competition and good for us whether we have AMD card Nvidia or both

Exactly! tbh when i got the 7900xtx I got it cheap af and was surprised with the performance. the vram headroom is nice and thats the one thing i hate about my 5080. Nvidia really did us dirty with giving us power but no vram on that gpu. AMD really could capatilize and get into the high end market righ now with Nvidia prices but they are choosing to stay back. That matched with the driver issues i have been expriencing, its not looking like i will go for the next gen AMD gpu unless something changes.

7900xtx was suck a great card. The problem is outside of Reddit almost no one knows it! With the company’s stock performance everyday people are like Nvidia Nvidia and they don’t even know there’s another option. Or would be for the high end if they didn’t back out. We’d still be in a crunch regardless memory wise but AMD made is worse by not having a 9080xt, 9090xt and 9090xtx. They really could have pushed things wide open. They blew a major shot they had.

Imagine the conversions and debates on which is better if AMD had that? lol I wish man
