Fun story. Built a PC for a friend. Upgraded same thing a bit later and friend settled for a used 6800XT (I ordered one for each of us from Ebay, mine was the Power Color Red Devil and his, the ASUS TUF Gaming OC. Only reason it landed like that was the ASUS came in first.) Other interesting piece of info, both our Motherboards were identical: Asus x570 Tuf Gaming plus Wifi. Initially no issues, but over time and with newer games, his PC started behaving oddly. Start a game (Helldivers/Avatar/Robocop/Cyberpunk) and it will run for a bit, no temp issues other than his GPU hotspot was warmer than mine while doing the same things with the fan profiles identical, never overheated, but then the screen would go black and the PC would hang (determined later it was rebooting but no display would appear until a full power cycle was done). Traded him GPU's since my Red Devil was working flawlessly. Now his Red Devil is working flawlessly and "my" Asus did all the same things. Turns out a GPU Bios Update, then a final full purge (DDU) of the Radeon drivers fixed the issue very well. Always remember that other components have BIOS too.... I'd ddu'd the drivers before and that provided some relief periodically with driver updates (I'm not totally ignorant, I really just didn't want to take out my Red Devil 😁)

One tip I would like to add is that some Radeon users have reported that they are getting various crashes on their 7900 XTX (including myself on my Sapphire Nitro+ 7900 XTX). After an undervolt it helped, but I along with many others have traced AMD Noise Supression as being the issue. After disabling this in Adrenaline and at startup in task manager this has gotten rid of all my crashes. Just something to keep in mind if any users that are having further issues After these tips.

Eventually with the help of some much smarter people i tried upping the dram voltage just a hair which helped stopped my game from crashing.

Dang you were spot on with addressing the Nvidia fanboys early on. Scrolling down I can't believe how many there are. I've used roughly the same amount of Nvidia cards in the past 13 years as I have AMD cards and sometimes I forget how brand-loyal some persons can be. I am mostly friends with tech nerds that build their own PCs, and I find that, anyone that takes this stuff seriously generally doesn't fall for brand wars. It's bubble-breaking to see that demographic lol. I'm always looking at every brand for the best deals, and preparing myself for every brand. If I get an AMD card, I'd prepare myself to minimize early-launch driver faults. If I get an Nvidia card, I'd prepare myself to avoid complete GPU failure. If I get an Intel card, I'd make sure I don't use it for DX9-11 games, and probably put it in a productivity rig to min-max it. I can't imagine what I'd need to remove from myself to be willing to feverishly fight for any of these 3 brands. They'd have to pay me to do it lol.

Then use the Search Option in the Program and search "ULPS" (Not ULPS NA) then change the Value from 1 to 0. Restart the System. Its done. No need for 3rd Party Software. As with Anti-Lag, one could have mentioned that it is generally recommended to activate the driver features in the Adrenalin software only for the respective game profile, never globally. I think when Anti-Lag + is back it will be time for a new edition of an overview of the functions and features of the Adrenalin software!

Excellent video that all people should watch! Keep up the great work! I have to add this. For the chipset drivers, you have to disable windows from downloading them automatically because they are buggy. Download them ONLY by the manufacturer (ASUS, ASRock, MSI etc) or in my case by AMD itself. Additionally, you can use the AMD Cleanup Utility (in safe mode) to remove anything that has to do with drivers and install new ones. This solved my issues with black screens, drivers stopping and starting again etc...

Causes wild behavior with the GPU, Power spikes, black screen, system locking, just really weird stuff. Have you tested any of them lately? If so did you find anything weird? Either way nice job and keep up the great work. Till the next one, Enjoy.

If you have a ryzen cpu that you overclock and are having constant driver crashes and you've used DDU and reinstalled at least once, you may be just *BARELY* unstable on your fclk as well as possibly the ram as mentioned. easily half of my crashing issues when I got my 7900XT at first was due to unstable FCLK on my 5950x. I ended up giving it a tiny bit more SOC, VDDP, and VDDG voltages (1.054vsoc 975mv 975mv respectively) and it solved those issues. A fresh driver install as well as using Drive Easy to update stuff like chipset drivers that had gotten out of date on top of that solved my issues 100%. Now I only have gpu crashes if: the game is badly optimized and crashes all on its own, my gpu OC is unstable on a given game, or my dram/fclk is unstable because I pushed it farther trying to get more out of it (I really want 2000 fclk but I seem to hit a HARD wall at anything above 1900 lol) The weird thing that kept me from finding the issue for nearly 2 weeks was that it was 100% stable in EVERY cpu load scenario and had no errors in mem tests or WHEA errors, so I assumed it had to be the gpu/drivers. But nope, just needed a tiny bit more voltage And yeah I cannot stress enough what he said, *DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON YOUR PSU!!!!!!* I got an EVGA 700W Bronze roughly 7-8 years ago for my first ever build that sipped a casual 150 MAYBE 200w (gtx 650, one hdd, 8gb ram, and an athlon 860k) and it has lasted me all the way up to my current 5950x 7900XT 32GB build. Im actually ideally going to swap it out soon with a 1200+w psu, that should hopefully last me another 7 years. I simply cannot stress enough getting a good PSU.

As an owner of a 4090 FE and a 7900XTX (sapphire nitro AND a reference model) I can say that I had way more driver issues last year on the 4090 than I did on my AMD cards. The January drivers for AMD was the first one in 2 years (all the way from a 6800XT) that I had any issues with. The driver stuff for AMD is massively overblown at this point and unless you're talking to someone who actually owns both brands or owns the cards, don't bother listening.

My issue ended up being overclocking stability. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x which had a stock speed of 4.2 GHz. At some point I set the speed to 4.8 and it worked just fine... until I got a much better GPU and my PC would crash during games. Thought it was the GPU, but nothing worked. Then I thought that it might be the PSU. My PSU was almost 10 years old, and I saw the thing about transients and power spikes on newer GPUs (currently have a 7800 xt), so I got a new PSU with ATX 3.0 support... that seemed to have worked for a bit, but I started having the same black screen and crashes after a day. I was about to return the GPU (bought it less than 6 months ago), but I thought I should test some things one more time. So I started testing again: couldn't run 3DMark, it would crash instantly. Had no issues testing the RAM with TestMem5. Then I finally ran Prime95 and my PC crashed instantly. Tried it 2-3 mores times, same thing and then, while checking the temps and speed of my CPU I remembered the stock speed was 4.2 GHz and not the 4.8 GHz it was running it at... lowered the speed to 4.4 GHz and Prime95 runs fine. At that time, I had already done everything on this list except for the Windows clean install and lower the CPU speed, so I was about to give up. I'm glad it worked in the end. I'll tinker with it a bit more in the next few days to make sure it really stopped crashing. Thanks a lot for the tips. They really helped me figure out what was wrong with my PC.

What a great video! I didn't knew about the MSI ULPS option for AMD, i was wondering if there was an option to stop limiting the card, now i can finally tell my friend to do this with his RX 6600 8GB i've recommended, plus he is loving to study computer hardware + basic programming on a presential course from Portugal too. The GPU upgrade example you gave is exactly what i did, GTX 1060 6GB -> RTX 4060 8GB, it has been a wonderful experience, the only blue screens i've seem are related to memory, maybe the XMP to 2666 (yeah, it's this old) wasn't great back then.

Just wanna let this comment here for people with the 7000 series. The RX 7600 and 7800XT, especially those models that come overclocked, are absolutely horrible for gaming. Big stuttering, trash frame times, and low fps. All I had to do on my 7600 to finally stop it from crashing, was to lower my wattage by 10W and lower the clock speed to the reference model's speed. This imediately fixed all of my driver crashes and my frame times are now better than the frame times of the newly released RTX 4060. Oh, and I almost forgot, DO NOT DOWNLOAD AFTERBURNER TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE STATS!!! You'll thank me later... Basically, the overlay causes many newly released games to crash due to a driver timeout error. P.S. Driver timeouts also bug out fan control applications. For your fan control to kick back in normally, you'll have to turn off your pc and wait up to 10 minutes. Then, the fan speed will start going down to your set limit. Edit: My card came overclocked to 3100Mhz clock speed, which is insane! This seems to be the norm with 7800XT models and 7600 models. Avoid high clock speed models like my Powercolor 7600.

@@radical24NFM And I thought I was the only one, lol! My powercolor RX 7600 and 7800XT were both factory overclocked to over 3Ghz, when the refference models were barely reaching 2700. If you still want to know the fix to your 7600, it is to do 2650Mhz clock speed (refference card clock speed) and turn down voltage from 1200 to 1190. These are the most stable settings that work for all the games. I've tested them since I got both of my cards, back in November. You can get away with other settings, but you will have games that will crash and others that won't. Strangely enough, the frame times also change. Anyway, I'm happy that you got a 6800XT. That is my dream GPU and I honestly should get it. It's a beast for gaming and it doesn't break the bank like Nvidia's equivalent.

Some superb advice here Fabio. When I was first building my own systems I did infact get a cheaper PSU and it did pretty much what your clip did and popped like popcorn. Fortunately didn't take anything else with it and from that day I build a PC starting with a quality PSU. And with the price of components now it's not worth the risk. I also like to have a bit more than I need to give it some headroom to prevent the PSU going to it's limit frequently so if I need a 600w i'll get 800w etc.

I have to do this each driver reinstalation, as my monitor firmware (no new release since 2019) doesnt like to work properly with this function and with Windows overall (no such problem on Ubuntu). It wont go sleep after X minutes of inactivity set in system, it keep awaking with black screen showing "no signal" every 30 seconds.

The solution for guys with 2 monitors and rx 7xxx card that have issue with audio and video stutters in some games(Naraka bladepoint in events tabs in my case): The easest solution is installing driver 23.12.1. This is the last version of driver which I had no problems with, but this version have no new features like afmf, e.t.c. If you want to use last drivers you can try next steps: 1. Type in disk cleanup select C then select clean up system files check "DirectX shader cache" run it. 2. Turn off discord`s hardware acceleration if you using it. 3. Turn of your browser`s hardware acceleration(i`m using firefox and i turn off it from settings tab, I think there will be a similar setting for other browsers). 4. In some cases turning off and then on AMD SAM can helps. I hope it helps somebody and you will not searching solution for this trouble within a few months like me

Impeccable video as always, very clear and direct. In my experience, I'm not a fanboy of any brand; I usually buy whatever gives me the best performance for my budget. Currently, I'm happy with a 5700X that I upgraded not long ago, and I'm planning to upgrade to a 5800X3D. However, I had several issues with my 6700XT GPU, which were resolved when I switched to Nvidia. Some problems occurred in Windows, KZitem, simply browsing, random restarts, stuttering in games, and even issues while working with Illustrator, etc. Upon purchasing a 3080 Ti, I stopped experiencing all kinds of problems (I had already ruled out that it was a physical problem with my 6700XT). Although the overall performance of my former AMD card was very good for what I paid, the issues I encountered outweighed the benefits. Anyway, this is just my experience. Regards!

Well I’m about out of ideas, been on Reddit where I found one other person with this issue. So I thought I’d ask the AMD master. Other person and me have 5600x/6600xt and recently gpu won’t draw more than 60w ish and frame times are seismic. So my fps can’t stay at a solid 60fps in street fighter 6, everytime a match loads or sometimes when effects happen it drops to 50ish. I’ve tried just about everything, bios update than clean driver install, mpo, ulps, absolutely no overclock and nothing works. Tried older drivers, nothing seems to work. Idk if I should try forcing more power to gpu but I’ve never overclocked besides ram speed and smart access memory. I thought it was hardware(gpu and/or motherboard) until I found someone on Reddit with the exact same 5600x/6600xt setup and same issues. I do need to try driver only clean install, but I didn’t wanna loose smart access memory.

The Minimum value works, but if I have the Max set to something like 120, the game will only get to around 90 fps instead of 120, even if when I turn Chill off it easily runs at over 120. Helldivers 2 and RDR2 are definitely doing that, not sure if it's an issue with those specific games or maybe a driver thing.

Hi there fellow AMD users. I've had a Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT for over 4 years now, and have suffered many times with driver timeout issues, and I guess I found the fix just a few hours ago. It is most likely related to AMD drivers/software setting by default the clock and voltage profile boost values ABOVE what the manufacturers suggest (e.g.: Radeon Adrenalin Software profile set to "automatic" will actually auto-enable overclock to 2100 MHz at 1.20 Volts). You can use Adrenaline software, into "Performance", then "Tuning", enable "GPU Tuning" and "Advanced control", then you can see the voltage/clock curve with 3 points, open the "Fine tune" option just below. Set P1 above 750mv, and P3 to the Boost Clock suggested by the manufacturer (example for my GPU is 1925 MHz) and undervolt to around 1.10V. Also set the "Power Limit %" to it's maximum. Apply this profile and you should have no more timeouts. This might cause a little loss in performance, but maybe can be fine tuned to stay close as possible to timing out. Also, this might need to be done after each update/reinstall of the software. Fabio has some tutorials where he undervolts and overclocks using the same feature from the software, which should also work. I was having timeout crashes/freezing 5 minutes into gaming (MORDHAU). After setting this profile, haven't had anymore. Might be a false hope but it has become stable at least for now. Btw Fabio, maybe bring this solution in your next "Fix AMD problems" video, if it is helpful. Unfortunately this problem is not too uncommon. Thanks for your videos and tips on those issues.

I've noticed some weird issues after using DDU and installing drivers, I would have some stutters here and there and couldn't figure out why. Turns out Windows just forcibly installs old drivers in the background when you boot first time after cleaning even if I disabled automatic driver updates and sometimes my mouse just refuse to work afterwards until reboot. Now I just let windows do it's thing after DDU, do the driver rollback and then install new driver and it's been working way better. Maybe user error somewhere, but that's how I do it atm xD Also it's very common that my monitors refresh rate switches to 60hz instead of staying at 144hz after using DDU, took me a minute to figure out why everything felt so sluggish all of a sudden.

I got a new PC last May after my laptop burned, and since I dislike quite a few things nVidia been doing lately, I chose to go full AMD (both CPU and GPU), Practically from the get-go (but in retrospective, probably after a driver update a little bit later) I've been having issues that were related to GPU: periodic and sometimes random driver timeouts, which often disabled iGPU for some reason, freezes when PC was going to sleep, driver crashes. One of the things, that was also happening was that Armoury Crate was not seeing "ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition 24GB GDDR6" for some reason. While working on this with ASUS (which was a huge pain, trust me), below scenario "fixed" it. 1. Since I was on 23.12.1 driver, which was the first with Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, I first tried rolling back to 23.11.1 directly. Did not help. 2. I then booted into Safe Mode and ran DDU to remove the driver. 3. Booted into normal Windows, let it install whatever version of the driver it wanted. Rebooted. GPU still not seen in Armoury. At this point I actually checked for updates in Armoury and there was an update for the GPU framework, not sure if that’s relevant, though. 4. After this I installed a new AMD driver, and then rebooted, even if it was not asked by installer. I tried versions 23.5.2, 23.7.2, 23.8.2, 23.9.3. None worked. 5. I installed 23.10.2, rebooted… And GPU was recognized. 6. Tried updating to 23.11.1, rebooted - still there. 7. Tried 23.12.1, rebooted - still there. 8. Booted into Safe Mode, used DDU to uninstall driver. Rebooted, let Windows install whatever driver, rebooted again. Guess what? GPU still in Armoury. 9. Installed 23.12.1 directly, rebooted - GPU still there. Later I was able to reproduce similar behavior: 1. DDU the driver. 2. Install driver 23.10.2, 23.11.1 or 23.12.1 driver - everything works fine. 3. Install any of the 2024 drivers (it works besides the fact that in a lot of games I still get timeouts right at the start of the game). 4. Rollback to previous version (downgrade the driver) - now the GPU is again not visible in Armoury. Shared this with both AMD and ASUS and unfortunately still no new from either. This definitely does not fix timeout in 2024 drivers, though (all cases were reported to AMD through bug reports in the software). But this still may by interesting for tinkerers, I guess. Also, I would like to mention a point, that was missed during the clean driver installation segment in the video: doing DDU does not mean that when you install the new driver after reboot you will be installing a "clean" one: depending on how fast both you and Windows Update are, it's possible, that you will be installing the driver over driver-only package downloaded from Windows Update, and not over the "generic" ones. This was not an issue in Windows XP and probably Windows 7 era, but with Win10 and Win11 this is kind of expected behavior. It does not remove potential benefits of DDU, but it is something to keep in mind.
