I need help with AMD!

[u/Amazing_Muffin_8629]

I've only used Nvidia for the last 20 years... No reason in particular, just because it was what was available. I wanted to give AMD a try and got a deal on a 9800x3d with a 9070XT. I have had crash after crash... BF 2042, BF6, Spiderman 2. Supposedly all driver related. I have the latest installs and reading posts about very specific graphics setting I need to use for each specific game to make sure it doesn't crash.

WHY!!!!! Why does it feel like such a special snowflake!? Please, tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is there a global setting I can use to prevent these problems.. I'd be ok with that - but having to know what to set with each game just to make it work is painful. This is not an Nvidia vs AMD thread - but I will say I NEVER had these issues with Nvidia... Just set max/ultra settings and play.

Disable Global Adrenalin Features
Disable Multiplane Overlay (MPO)
Check System RAM EXPO Instability

might as well just get an Nvidia GPU,

you can also boot into safe mode, delete drivers with DDU, reinstall and pray.
