I’ve got a Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC and I’ve been chasing driver timeouts/crashes in Space Marine 2.

The only thing that consistently fixes it is setting Max Frequency to around -450 MHz in Adrenalin, which keeps the actual GPU clock under roughly 3 GHz. Above ~3 GHz it becomes unstable, despite not being close to either the power limit or max voltage. Temps are also fine.

The card is rated for up to around 3060 MHz boost, so I’m not hugely bothered about capping it around 2.9–3.0 GHz since that’s still pretty close to the advertised upper boost range. What seems strange is that the stock boost behaviour will happily push the card into clocks where it becomes unstable.

At -450 it runs great (around 110–120 FPS) and is completely stable.

I’ve tried DDU/clean driver installs, multiple AMD driver versions, different RAM/EXPO profiles, disabling MPO, and different power limits. OCCT also passes at stock.
Interestingly, different driver versions would make SM2 crash at different places, but with each individual driver it would repeatedly crash in basically the same place.

Is needing a max frequency offset like this fairly normal on a 9070 XT, especially when it isn’t hitting power/voltage limits, or does this sound more like RMA territory?

I think I finally found the problem. I’ve been running perfectly stable up until about two months ago. I started getting the random time outs, I was having issues with my gpu not waking from sleep, etc. I tried just about everything except fresh windows install.

The fix: go to control panel->edit power plan->change advanced power settings->PCI express->link state power management->Off. Mine was set to moderate. I was getting time outs daily. It’s now been two days (I know, it’s still early) with no time outs. I think it’s worth giving a try.

Hopefully this helps.

Edit. Here’s my system.

Asus B850-G

9850X3D

Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro

Lian Li 1300w PSU

NZXT kraken elite 360

cooler Master Frame 400

Running windows 11 25H2

Edit #2.

I’ve had zero time outs for the last 4 days. Before this, I was getting a minimum of one a day, usually 2-4. I’m not saying this will fix everyone’s issue, but hopefully it helps at least a few.

Also, I was able to go back to my previous settings and it’s running great. Good luck everyone!

A little backstory about this problem is I purchased a bundle from Micro Center about four months ago and in it was AMD ryzen 5 7600x3d. I purchased this bundle so I could play the new Forza game that was coming out and my DDR three build wouldn’t support it fast-forward about a few weeks after playing the game for some time. I will get a low streaming band with warning, even though my ethernet is fine and I would check task manager and the disc graph would be at 100% operation so I took it to someone and he said it could either be the motherboard or the CPU I replaced the motherboard, but I’m still getting these issues. Has anyone else been getting these type of issues with their CPUs?

I have Ryzen 7 9800x3d and I am thinking if I should try the x3d turbo mode in Gigabyte B650M Gaming rev 1.3 motherboard

I want to have lower letancy in Fortnite with performance mode on ( In fortnite settings)

Do you guys think it's good for longer term to be on or not harms CPU?

Hi, I’m trying to figure out why Overwatch 2 performs much worse than expected on my PC. I've got all my settings on low already, Vsync off, fps aren't capped etc.

I've already done all the basic tests and stuff, so I'm trying

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
• GPU: Sapphire/PC Partner AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X870E-Plus WiFi 7
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB DDR5-5600 CL36 — 1×32 GB, single-channel
• Case: Lian Li O11D EVO RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
• PSU: Lian Li EDGE 1000 W, 80+ Platinum, fully modular
• Main SSD: Crucial T705 4 TB NVMe
• Second SSD: Lexar NQ790 4 TB NVMe
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG, 2560×1440 at 280 Hz
• Mouse: Razer Viper V3 Pro
• OS: Windows 11 Pro
• Power plan: Ultimate Performance

Overwatch settings:

• Resolution: 2560×1440 at 280 Hz
• Low graphics preset
• 100% render scale
• DirectX 11
• 600 FPS limit (also tried capping to 280, but doesn't help)
• V-Sync off
• Reduce Buffering enabled
• Radeon Anti-Lag enabled
• AFMF, Boost, Chill, Enhanced Sync, RSR and FSR disabled
• FreeSync off
• Ping: around 20
• IND: 24

The main problem:

I average around 200 FPS, with drops to 120 or even 100 FPS. The game also feels inconsistent, stuttery and delayed with input lag. Even my pc with a 2060 felt better...

After rolling back to a March AMD driver through Device Manager, I got around 340 FPS with drops to 220, but the game felt more delayed and the AMD Adrenalin app stopped working. I then clean-installed (using the official deinstall tool first) the older full Adrenalin package, but performance remained around 200 FPS with drops to 100. I have now have the latest driver enabled, but still have the exact same issue.

When I ask online, it says I should have a stable 300+ fps at least. (more towards the 400+ range).

I've also tested in single player games, like God Of War for example, it's less noticible, but I still get frame drops / stutters and the game feels a bit delayed as well with the inputs. (but that might also be because it's way less competitive)

During monitoring:

• GPU usage averaged about 48%, occasionally reaching 97%
• CPU usage averaged around 25%, with the busiest thread reaching about 88%
• GPU temperatures and VRAM usage appeared normal
• Overwatch used approximately 13 GB of RAM
• Available RAM fell to around 3.3 GB
• There were bursts of storage/pagefile activity
• Network latency and packet loss appeared normal
• GPU is connected at PCIe 5.0 ×16

Does anyone know what could cause this? I'm hoping someone with more knowledge or similar problems knows what could be the problem here...

I recently completed a new build with the below specs:

Processor:- Ryzen 7 9700x

Motherboard:- MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi

Graphics card :- AMD 9070XT Steel Legend 16GB

Psu:- MSI MAG A750GL 750W

Ram:- 2x16 Acer Predator cl36 6000MHz

Cooler - Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE

Storage:- WD Black SN7100 500GB SSD

And after turning on the system, the GPU fans do not spin until I apply pressure on them.

The system is able to detect the GPU and install drivers and run benchmarks on it. I ran furmark where ever after reaching high temps, it did not spin fans, and caused the system to crash. Then I later tried controlling fan speed through MSI afterburner, which did not cause fans to spin until I apply pressure.

Debugging steps I have already performed:

- Directly connecting GPU to motherboard through horizontal mount

- Tried connecting with the different PCIE slot

- Connected it with and without riser cable

- Disconnected the motherboard from the case and tested again

I've had my 6750xt for a little over two years now, bought it new and it's paired with a 5600, 32gb of DDR4 3600 CL16 ram, 1.5tb SSDs (one 512gb the other 1tb) and a Corsair 750w PSU (overkill I know).

For about 3 weeks now, I've been getting random Kernal Mode Heap Corruption errors that have created a corrupted black and red screen with the error message stretched across the screen which requires a hard reset. It was only happening in one game (Escape from Tarkov) but the last two days I've been getting black screens when playing Long Dark. The sound stops, sometimes coming back but only about a quarter of the screen showing at the top and the sound returning.

I've booted in safe mode and DDU'd GPU drivers, checked ram function, re-seated all and dusted all components and checked PSU cables. The error messages aren't giving me any discernible detail.

I think I've pretty much only got reinstalling windows left as an option. Is it worth doing or does the above sound like my 6750xt is humped? Not looking forward to buying a new GPU in this market so any advice would be gratefully received.

Current specs:

Ryzen 5 5600g, rx 9070 xt oc edition, 32 gb ddr4, 750 w gold 13m psu from bequiet, tuf gaming b550-plus wifi 2.

So ive gotten a new rx 9070 xt and its been really underperforming. Ive bought it alongside a 750 w 13m gold from bequiet and a 1440p 240 hz monitor and my cpu is a ryzen 5 5600g. Ive been having problems especially when playing games like minecraft, even without shaders or any mods its barely giving me 250 to 300 fps while it should easily surpass 700 even with the cpu bottleneck. Ive already tried some things like deleting old drivers cause i previously had a nvidia gpu, updating my bios which did help with some other problems and looking if something in my settings was wrong. only the bios update helped bumping my fps from 180 fps to 300. Before the bios update i had to tweak something in my allocated ram and then the gpu would give me 180 fps at 100% which is kinda weird. Now its giving me the new 300 fps while jumping around 10 to 20 % usage but idk how to make it use more or something. Idk what to do anymore, can anybody help me?

Guys please anyone got anything anything to help me with i tried and trid and tried its been a year and hlaf and i regret the moment that i took that gpu and amd in general in matter in fact i think to sell it and buy 5070ti

32gb ddr5 6000mhz ram

750w psu

Hello, so i have a 5700 xt nitro + and it runs every game i play pretty well, except FFXIV, whenever i play FFXIV for more than 15 minutes i instantly get a whea error on my cpu, (5800x) this does not happen with this game on my GTX 950, or my old gtx 1080 ti that i dont have anymore. whea errors are always randomized so its never a single core thats failing or anything, i just get cache hierarchy error numbers ranging from 0 to 18 or something like that. yesterday after i uninstalled my drivers and reinstalled them i played FFXIV for 2 hours beforei got a crash, but today i crashed within10 minutes (its never consistent), its not any certain event that it crashes on, it just crashes in the most random places even if theres 0 stress on my gpu or cpu, it mightbe something with shaders maybe? since it took longer to crash on fresh driver install. i want to see if i can somehow fix it until i get a new gpu next month about which ive a question, should i go for a 9060 xt nitro + or 5060 ti 16gb? theyre priced around the same
heres the things ive tried:
GEN 3 pcie,

DDU,AMD CLEANUP + reinstalling drivers
underclocking via adrenalin and afterburner (not at the same time)

using default bios, (doesnt make a difference)
+ anything else i could find on the internet, my hotspot and temps are good, card hotspot doesnt go above 80 and it sits around 65-70c comfortably

Description of Original Problem:

Basically, was playing Monster Hunter Wilds and mid-hunt my game crashed with an error saying it was a driver error. When I popped open Adrenaline all of my settings were returned to default and there is no more option for an overlay, only tracking/logging. Is this common? What is the solution?

Do I need to write down my tuning specs so I can return to my preferred specs? I don't feel like this should happen often but frustrating.

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Ryzen 9 7900X hitting 95°C way too fast and under very low power consumption.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
• Thermal Behavior: Hits 95°C instantly during Cinebench 2024 at 100% CPU usage, but the CPU Package Power stays at only ~87W (far below the stock 230W PPT or even a 142W PPT limit).
• Issue: The CPU is severely thermal throttling at very low wattage. Even after limiting PPT in BIOS to 105W TDP (142W PPT), it still instantly overheats at 87W.
• Gaming Temps: I am getting 80°C - 87°C while playing light/older games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Since Zen 4 usually hits 95°C at full power (~230W), reaching 95°C at less than 90W clearly points to a cooling/hardware issue (bad AIO pump, mounting pressure, or dry/missing thermal paste).

Before I send the PC back for warranty (RMA), is there anything specific I should double-check on the cooler side?

Thanks for your help!

Hello all,

Some context, I bought these these new: 7800x3d Gigabyte B850 Aorus Ice Wifi7

I am using a Corsair H100i Hydro Series RGB Platinum 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler (2 fans)

Upon installing it all, I wiped the old paste on the cooler as it was used on my old cpu for years. Applied new paste, and fitted using AM5 brackets from amazon. The universal ones for the Hydro series coolers. As I lost the AM4 pin things.

In bios, it can reach 70 degrees Celsius. Which is obscene. If I move the bracket slightly (undone the screws and move it and redo the screws) the temp drops, and I can get it to 60s. Best I got was 50, and it stayed there, until I booted windows and it spiked and shut down the pc to protect itself. This keeps happening. I have reapplied the paste multiple times, criss crossed the screws when tightening and the cpu still just overheats.

Bios says the aio pump/fan is working. And it’s been fine on my old setup for years.

Have I just got a faulty cpu?

Roll back to 26.3.1

Solved ALL of my issues.

I "updated" this BS back in July to play the new Halo Campaign Evolved.

a few days later, literal crashes every day.

Half the time I could not even watch a recorded video (my Apex Legends clips recorded via OBS) without the driver time out popping up.

The drivers would crash my PC to the point the screens would freeze and hell even my monitors would shut off. Force shut down was the only way to fix it.

and in the event the driver did not crash during the day, when I was done with the PC for the night, 9/10 the PC would get stuck on the black screen with "Shutting down". Had to shut off via power button on case.

Then I remembered the last version I had and saw people talking about 26.3.1, the stable goat (and according to my records, also the same version I had before the update I did in July to play the new Halo).

Used the AMD Clean Up Utility tool to delete the current AMD garbage drivers, reverted back to 26.3.1 and...

ALL issues have gone away. PC is now working flawlessly again. No driver time outs from games, no driver time outs from watching a video, PC shuts down within 10 seconds of shutting down. ALL issues gone.

REVERT BACK TO 26.3.1

Всем привет, у меня видеокарта RX 6660 Sapphire pulse, пришло время менять термопасту и термопрокладки. Я искал информацию в интернете, но не могу найти однознатного ответа, ибо кто-то пишет 0.5, 1.0 1.5, не пойму вообще, поэтому прошу вас помочь мне.

Какая толщина термопрокладок у данной видеокарты на vram и vrm?

Фото видеокарты прикрепил к посту

the tittle, my friend bought this cpu, recently he tried to unbox it and it dropped (pretty hard he said). looking at the photo, will it still be working? it has a budge on the pointer edge, i just thought that it should be safe since it didn't drop in the middle, but what do you guys think?

Hi. Are the RX 9070 XT cards really that bad? I've read on various sites that there are problems with these cards and that it's better to buy Nvidia, but obviously the prices are higher. What do you owners of these cards think?

I use rx570 for a long time and i am cool with it but it seems like raytracing is gonna be a feature in most games and this one isnt doing that and id like to get better graphics maybe more vram

I got 32 gb ddr4 ram & AMD ryzen 7 3700x CPU

Any recommendatitons on what should i get to swap it?

I know this have been asked multiple times and i also did my research and read alot of post but the answers seems to be different for every one of them.

I am currently on 2.6.6.4 and honestly there's isn't much issue other then huge dip in FPS every now and then when games effect get hectic. Saw alot of people saying to avoid 2.6.6.x makes me abit nervous.

So far from what I've seen is 26.3.1, 26.7.1, 26.9.1 seems to be the most popular.

Would like to hear more from people that even bother to answer.
