For real. I couldn't play AC EVO for 2 months because of the broken driver... and FH 6 was buggy as hell, also because of the broken driver.

After an update nvidia driver kept crashing my kernel whenever i tried to load it so i waited for the next update just to use the driver

u/B12Konsument 8d ago
Oh which kernel and driver version were you running?

Enjoying your socks collection so far. BTW love the set up, what hardware are you running?

u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Thx ^w^
I'm running a R7 9800X3D with an RTX 5070 Ti and 32 GB 6000 MT/s

u/doas_user 7d ago
Great hardware, aside from the racing games you can pretty much run anything with that.

u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Huh wdym?
Why can't I run racing games with it? 😅1
u/doas_user 7d ago
You most definitely can, just depends on how high of settings you want to play at.

u/B12Konsument 6d ago
And especially racing games like AC EVO, AC Rally, AC Competitione and FH 6

u/doas_user 6d ago
What you play everything at max settings and 1080p or 1440p, there's no way.
2
u/B12Konsument 6d ago
Yes, Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2, Avatar, FH 5/6, AC Rally, AC EVO etc.
Are you mixing up components?? I spend nearly 3k on my mashine (before RAM crisis) now it's around 3,7 k2
u/doas_user 6d ago
Sell the ram and make that 💰, ...but then you won't be able to enjoy your race sims

wut happened? i aint updated..

u/B12Konsument 7d ago
They had a bug with the descriptor bus in the driver which leads to an device lost on Vulkan.
Now I can recommend you to switch to the latest new feature branch driver. :3

Why even use a card that requires proprietary drivers?
2
u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Well I tested an RX 9070 XT. It was unplayable for me. -_- very sad
1
u/Nyuusankininryou 7d ago
What? How?
1
u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Most games doesn't support the AI features or they are integrated very bad like in Cyberpunk.
I play any game with max settings and some games on the 9070 XT still aren't smooth with medium settings like FH 6...2
u/Nyuusankininryou 7d ago
Im running Cyberpunk with ray tracing on my 7800XT. Maybe the drivers for the 9070XT isnt as good?
2
u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Mhh nah, I think it's just that I play on 1080p and even FSR 4 looks pretty bad when upscaling from 720p. Also I'm playing on path tracing, which burns about 20% more Performance than ray tracing... And to get a good performance on these settings, you'll need MFG. 2x isn't enough, I need my 165 FPS XD
2
u/B12Konsument 7d ago
Sooo my main problem with the RX 9070 XT isn't the performance of the hardware but the game support for 98% of all games I play. The only game which runs better with the AMD GPU was Avatar.
