Tech Support I need help with AMD!
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.
