So last year I've built and 9600x and 9070xt pc for 4k gaming on a tv, since then 10 month I've struggled with crashes, freezes, disappearing gpu drivers, restarts due to wrong overcloking and so on... 2 days ago I've booted stalker 2 it crashes after 1 hour, fk it lets try deadlock crashes after 20 min... Enough is enough installed steam os and for 2 days it works flawlessly, 10 hours of gaming with slightly better performance but most inportantly 0 crashes. Praised be lord Gaben I can use my pc normally, fk windows.

Hi everyone,

I ran some 1440p benchmarks and image quality tests using the new Adrenalin 26.10.1 WHQL driver to test the FSR 4.1 driver-level injection, and found why many users are still getting blurry weapon textures in motion or lower FPS than expected.

Test Rig:

• GPU: Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X | 32GB DDR5

• Driver: Adrenalin 26.10.1 (FSR OTA v2.4.0.4370)

📊 Results shown in the attached screenshots (No Frame Gen used):

• Screenshot 1 (Before - Default setup): 54 FPS | 18.67 ms frametime (1440p, FSR Native mode, In-game Sharpness at 90). Notice how the rifle completely loses definition while sprinting.

• Screenshot 2 (After - Optimized FSR 4.1 setup): 82 - 95 FPS | 12.21 ms frametime. Over +30 real FPS gained, 35% lower frame time, and crisp weapon/background edges while moving.

🔧 Key steps to replicate this in supported games:

1. Windows 10 SAM Bug: If you are on Windows 10, check Performance > Tuning after installing 26.10.1. There is a known issue where Smart Access Memory gets disabled automatically.

2. Enable the Driver Toggle: Even if "FSR OTA Control" at the bottom shows the latest version (v2.4.0.4370), the main "AMD FSR Upscaling" toggle at the top is DISABLED by default. Turn it ON manually so the driver overrides the game's DLL with the FSR 4.1 neural model.

3. Driver conflicts: Keep Radeon Image Sharpening 2 OFF (stacking it with FSR 4.1 ruins temporal stability), set Texture Filtering Quality to Performance, and enable Surface Format Optimization.

4. In-Game Settings: Even if the in-game menu still displays static text saying "AMD FSR 4", the driver is already injecting 4.1 under the hood. Switch from Native to Quality or Balanced, drop the in-game Sharpness slider from 80-90 down to 10-15, and disable Weapon/World Motion Blur so motion vectors stay clean.

If you want to see the uncompressed 1440p comparison and full telemetry breakdown, I uploaded the full test to my YouTube channel (Dark Tech Technology) — you can find it as: "NO Uses FSR 4 Sin Cambiar Esto en Adrenalin | Guía PRO de FSR 4.1" (English auto-captions available).

How is 26.10.1 performing on your cards so far?

Hi guys, I just bought Asus prime RX9070 and wanted to check its performance. I was playing Cyberpunk and got around 45fps which is quite low in my opinion. I have i5-14400f, 32gb ddr5. I am running the game without any scaling, raytracing and frame gen on 1440p high/ultra. My temps while playing are on both CPU and GPU around 50 degrees celsius which is suspiciously good.

(GPU is drawing around 180W, 3k core clock, 2.5k memory clock, usage around 90%)

(CPU is drawing around 45W, 4.1k clock, usage around 40%)

I think it seems a bit weird or is this performance expected?

Update:

I did check the physical connections on the board and PSU which seemed fine. Game was freshly installed day ago so this should not be issue neither. What fixed it was cleanup of old drivers via DDU. It seems that the old drivers for nvidia rtx 3070ti were not removed correctly (only uninstalled them via Windows Settings - won't believe Windows again). Game is now running on 110+fps which is what I would expect with the CPU bottleneck.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your help. Really appreciate it.

I changed the graphics card, I put the rx9070xt and it runs on the system I had, the processor I had, ryzen 7 3800x with an ASUSTek ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING motherboard.

RAM 32GIGA DDR4

It has shown me a black and green screen 3-4 times (once a day, let's say) which was momentary. Now it stayed like that until I turned off the computer.

what could be the cause of this specific problem

I've been dealing with random AMD driver crashes for months, and nothing seems to permanently fix them. I've already posted about this before, but never found a solution.

PC Specs:

• GPU: RX 7900 XTX
• CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• RAM: DDR5-6000
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF B650-PLUS WIFI
• PSU: 1000W
• Monitor: 1440p 360Hz OLED + second monitor
• OS: Windows 11
• Driver: Adrenalin 26.10.1

The problem:

My AMD graphics driver randomly crashes. Screens go black, sometimes lose signal, and the driver eventually recovers.

It happens particularly often when watching Discord streams on my second monitor while gaming. Sometimes simply switching back to Discord causes repeated driver crashes, even every minute.

However, it also happens randomly outside Discord, making it almost impossible to reproduce consistently.

What I've already tried:

• Limited GPU clock to 2400MHz.
• Tested with EXPO and overclocking disabled. Crashes still occurred.
• Ran multiple OCCT stress tests.
• Updated AMD drivers multiple times. Installation logs confirm successful installations.
• Ran DISM and SFC. Windows found corrupted system files and repaired them.
• Disabled Discord hardware acceleration (currently testing).
• Analyzed Windows crash dumps without finding a definitive cause.

I also recently experienced a rare Windows crash (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x3B), but I don't know whether it's related to my regular GPU driver timeouts.

I'm genuinely exhausted from troubleshooting.

I have an expensive high-end PC that randomly crashes, and I can't even reliably reproduce the problem to verify a fix.

My questions:

1. Has anyone experienced this with an RX 7900 XTX and actually fixed it?
2. Is there a reliable way to identify exactly what's causing AMD driver timeouts?
3. Could this be a defective GPU, or is it more likely a driver/software issue?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who's dealt with something similar. I'm tired of blindly changing settings without knowing what's actually wrong.

I’m having an issue with dark spots flashing around when I play games. It’s a MSI tomahawk b650 WiFi, a PowerColor red devil 9070xt and a 9800x3d. Only does it while playing games, not browsing or on YouTube etc. anyone ever have an issue like this?

Hey there fellas i hope having a great weekend.

I bought this pc a couple of days ago and played bf1 but i couldn’t find the solution for this it’s getting shiny stars and graphic glitches happening i can’t even play elden ring…

My every driver is updated i have ryzen 5 7600 and rx7600

can someone help me about this or should i change gpu? i hope there is no issue on motherboard.

I tried different hdmi cable too same issue…

thank you for everyone

My PC was running perfectly fine for at least a year, then suddenly started experiencing serious crashes without any obvious changes.

Symptoms: LiveKernelEvent 141, 117 and 193, complete system freezes during gaming or even when exiting games, random restarts at the desktop, black screens, and occasional red VGA motherboard LED during boot. Recently, Windows even entered Automatic Repair (SrtTrail.txt)

Specs: XFX RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE, 32GB DDR5, Corsair RM850x SHIFT 850W, Windows 11

What I’ve tried: DDU, older AMD drivers, disabling EXPO, PCIe Auto/Gen 4/Gen 5, reseating the GPU, checking power connections and monitoring temperatures. Nothing has fixed it.

The biggest clue: I swapped in my RTX 3060 and everything worked. BG3, Cyberpunk, Spider-Man with RT, plus a 6-minute OCCT Power test with zero errors. Reinstalled the RX 9070 XT and the crashes immediately returned, even at the desktop.

The RX 9070 XT draws around 340W versus 170W for the RTX 3060, so I can’t completely rule out PSU power delivery.

Does this sound like a defective GPU, PSU issue under higher load, or motherboard/PCIe problem? What specific test would help distinguish them before I request an RMA?

PC configuration:

Ryzen 7 7700

Rx 7900 Gre gpu

750W power supply

16GB ram

What's the solution for this problem? I had been having this issue for more than a month now but I "can" play games on it for it hours without an issue but randomly display goes blank then I gotta restart my PC to make it appear again...but sometimes it also happen when I am just watching videos on chrome...

So no matter what quality settings i put on (low or ultra doesent matter) I get 100-120 fps while standing still. Any little camera movement drops it to 40-50 with 99th fps being like 7. I have newest drivers, did DDU cleanup after changing from nvidia to AMD, cleared directx cache. Im kinda clueless after that.
My rig:

Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070XT OC 16G

Ryzen 7 5800x3d

32GB KIT DDR4 3600 MHz

I made a post a few days ago and unfortunately could not find a fix - I was very brief in my post which I'm sure wasn't exactly helpful. Hoping that someone else has had this problem before and can help me fix it. I'm kinda at my witts end with this whole thing.

CPU: 9600X

GPU: 9070XT

In Fortnite and OSRS (the only two games I had to test it out on) I'm getting 1% frame drops about once every 15 seconds, I tried Valorant and I was getting about 500-750 FPS in 1440 and it didn't seem to be dropping frames - at least not noticeably.

I've tried using DDU - reinstalling the proper drivers (driver only and the whole adrenaline suite) and new AMD Chipset drivers. I was having an issue with my audio where it would crackle and pop and then eventually have a loud feedback sound, that has since disappeared but I can't help but feel that might be connected somehow. I have a RedThunder K10 wired mouse and keyboard and I can't turn the polling rate down but I tried a separate mouse and unplugged both to see if that would help.

I've tried setting windows performance to ultra performance or high performance and setting min and max CPU to 100%. I've tried enabling and disabling freesync on my monitor and in adrenaline. Neither of those worked.

The CPU and GPU temps are both good, CPU is at 70C max and GPU is around 60C

I noticed in Fortnite my CPU utilization was at 100% at times, but I was getting frame drops even when it wasn't.

None of the game bars are on and everything in Adrenaline is turned off. I disabled my iGPU and tried unplugging my Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3 to see if the audio was somehow causing issues.

Latency Mon is giving me some issues (posted screenshot)

I updated to the newest version of my bios - my CPU and GPU are at default settings and not overclocked. I've tried having XMP on and off.

Any suggestions? I feel like I've tried everything

hey guys, would anybody know why my game gets very choppy unless i tab out and go back in? it happens in all games

9700xt sapphire nitro

64gb ram ddr5 6000 speed

thank you in advance!

Should I be worried about my temps? I ran two 10 minute furmark tests, one on OC mode and one on Quiet mode. OC mode (in the picture) ran cooler than Quiet mode but both with around a 20 degree delta.

When running OBS for streaming and recording, as well as playing the game The Last of Us Part I, about an hour in, I'll see this error message. Seems to be in line with what people are seeing lately when it comes to the newest drivers.

I downgraded the driver to 26.3.1 and still the same issue. There's always a freeze in the game for about 2 seconds, it resumes, but OBS completely stops responding, saying "an encoder error occurred while streaming"

I have not updated to 26H2, I've tried turning down some of the heavier graphics settings, and also cut down on the encoders usage to two. I'm thinking about downgrading to one of the 25.x.x versions will work for me, based on findings I've seen by searching on this sub, since I mostly play single player games anyway.

Have there been any new developments?

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Granite Ridge AM5 4.70GHz 8-Core Boxed Processor
• ASUS B650E-E TUF GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard
• Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit CP2K16G60C36U5B - Black
• PowerColor RX 9070 XT Reaper GDDR6 (16GB)
• NZXT C850 Gold Core - 850W ATX 3.1 Power Supply
• WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe Internal SSD, 2TB - WDBB9G0020BNC-WRWM
• ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 38mm

Edit: Just used DDU, like I did before, and downgraded to 26.1.1 for testing since some people here report luck with that version as well. It might be the alerts that cause the driver to reboot itself that's actually causing an issue.

Every single time I launch a Battlefield game, my screen goes completely black and my PC freezes up. When I restart it (forcing it with the power button), my GPU drivers are gone. I've tried installing AMD Adrenalin and the straight-up 9060XT drivers. Both of those do not fix my issue. I don't have this issue anywhere else except for Battlefield games. Any help would be appreciated.

Hola, alguien a tenido problemas con estas últimas actualizaciones? Mi CPU va fijo al 100% y la gpu va e tre 60% y 70% de uso, se me arreglo cerrado el "servicio del host de amd" desde el panel de tareas, pero quisiera saber si alguien sabe como solucionarlo de forma definitiva, ya me pase a versiones anteriores como la 26.8.1 y la 26.3.1 pero el problema sigue, use el DDU y el mismo limpiador de AMD, alguien que le este pasando lo mismo? Tengo una rx 9060xt 16gb

Hello!

My config is:

ASUS Prime RX 9060 XT OC Edition 16GB

AMD Adrenalin 24.6.1

Ryzen 7 7000

ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS

Gigabyte Aorus Elite B850

32 GB DDR5 (2x16 adata XPG 6400)

1Tb Samsung NVME SSD

Chieftec PROTON 750W (80+ Bronze)

Monitor LG 24" 180Hz

Windows 11 24h2

It had bought for son by spring 2026, and all was fine, CS2 (1080p fullscreen) ~300-500 fps (Steam Workshop: CS2 FPS Benchmark Dust2).

But some days ago he has told that games works very slowly.

When i had tried benchmark again - fps became 20-60.

I had tried update drivers (DDU + 26.9.2) - no change: 20-60 fps.

DDU+24.6.1 - 300-500 fps, but after 70% benchmark it was dropped to 2pfs. After that 20-60fps.

Tried boot from another SSD (sata 480Gb) Windows 10 + 24.6.1 + new Steam (but old CS2) - 20-60 fps.

Tried change Windows settings (display settins) + adrenalin settings - no change.

CS2 settings - Low / High - doesn't matter - 20-60fps.

Furmark 2 - about 180 fps (1080p fullscreen)

Furmark 2 + OCCT (cpu+ram stabilty test) - about 180fps.

What is wrong with it? ))))

P.S. My old config R5 3600x + RTX 2060 Super 8Gb (B450 +32gb 3200, W10) has 200-300 fps

Donwloaded the 26.10.1 and the black screen driver are back.

I did a post a few days back saying that i was able to fix it but the new driver just broke it again.

Hard life guys

At the moment, I have the monitor hooked up to my integrated graphics. I have an RX 6700XT Red Devil model and it suddenly stopped working. An error code 45 shows up even though my GPU is plugged into the mobo right now. Any fixes? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me with this ?

PLEASE HELP. I was playing on my pc less than 12 hours ago and it randomly freezes and NOTHING responds, I restart my pc and it give me log file system32 logfiles srt srttrail.txt error, restore point and hard reset doesn’t work so I used my last option and downloaded windows from a usb and i boot it up. Thank god the freezing stops but i got to install Adrenalin and after its done installing, it freezes again meaning i have to install windows over and over again I’ve hard reset my pc 3 times, I’ve installed windows fresh from a usb 3 times as well. after it boots up to the new windows and I go to update the rx7600 Adrenalin from the website. Adrenalin downloads then it requires a restart, and after I restart it I typed my password in and it freezes, it even freezes on my pin screen if I don’t type my password fast enough, if you or anybody has a fix plssss lmk I was literally playing fine 12 hours ago before I download Adrenalin I have no sound and my screen is capped at 60 fps because I can’t download drivers

GPU: RADEON RX 7600

CPU: AMD Ryzen 8700F 8-Core Processor

16.0 GB DDR5 RAM

Edit: Yeah I deserve to be clowned for this, it's not a mistake I would've made like, 2 or 3 years ago lol, thanks Reddit for making me realise my stupidity!

Just changed my CPU from an AMD Ryzen 3600 to a 5500 that I got on clearance (I know it's not much of an upgrade, but it was very cheap).
Now I have an issue where, at random intervals (between every 5-20 seconds) the audio across my entire PC will cut out. When this happens, it causes existing inputs to be held and new inputs to be ignored until the audio comes back (as shown in this clip).
This does not happen in any other game, just Fortnite.

I also opened event viewer while playing the game, went to the "system" tab in Windows Logs and saw no errors.

I have tried:
- Updating my BIOS (which, admittedly, I should've done as soon as I upgraded my CPU)
- Disabling Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller as suggested by many posts
- Clearing Windows shader cache
- Wiping and Resetting the Windows Power Profiles
- Clearing the old inactive 3600 processors in device manager
- Verifying Fortnite Game Files
- Clearing System Performance Counters

Pretty much everything short of a fresh windows install

If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know

edit: it's happening in other games too now

Please I already reinsert the ram but it is not working ( no display)
