Unstable AMD driver Error message when GPU is a RTX 4080

[Zehke]

1. I get the error message I use an unstable AMD Radeon driver when my GPU is a RTX 4080 with driver Game Ready 555.85 ( I could update to the next from 04.06 but point 2). Beside do I want to start a game that so grandiosly misses detecting the gpu?!

2, I should create an account to play? That suggest constant online - Not sure about that. ( Ok, just read multiplayer experience XD ... still not sure)

99% it's the CPU dying and you're greeted by a preset, default error message, bump your Loadline Calibration.

Yeah most likely not.
- no problems at all in the past, Comp runs like charm, while lately playing Hellblade 2
- 2 years old processor
------
Found the culprit: The game wants to access the tiny AMD 600M Series GPU integrated into my Ryzen.
1. its deactivated
2. completely ignored by the whole system
3. Till a couple of minutes ago I did not even know it exists

@devs: I know its a demo, I know its not complete but you are doing it wrong when ignoring the active GPU and instead want to access a deactivated one. I could understand it, when it would not be deactivated ... well but it is.
---------

I played the previous Testdrive. I am really looking forward to this one, but:
The Game will not be executed, let alone bought until that is fixed.


@SirHawk: are you implying I overclock my processors?

@Zehke, Dont waste your time with that troll. He's either trolling or doesnt have a clue about anything computer related.
Ive seen same thing with my Ryzen 7800X3D, its the integrated gpu its trying to access, it then uses the dedicated GPU when the game starts. This is some sort of bug that will get sorted eventually.
This happens in some other games also, Forza Horizon 4 is an example and there is a workaround.

No, I imply heavy vdroop, past the stable range, the very reason why Intel CPUs had the recent instability outrage, given how stupidly heavy on a CPU this game is.

[Zehke]

Games dont kill hardware, they simply can't, this is utter nonsense. If a game makes your cpu unstable either the cpu is corrupted or you overclocked. And neither is for me the case.

If it is necessary for you to play around with voltages of your cpu, your problem is not the game. Well this one: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PEBCAK

[SirHawk]

Have you ever heard about impedance? Have you ever measured power draw during loading? Wanna know how much power can be drawn from the CPU right after leaving the elevator in this game? 230W. A couple of peaks above 200W just during game startup. Do I need to remind you Intel users kept crashing on games loading screens? Not to mention RAM induced instability, because your memory controller is ass and like 99.9% of gaymers just enable XMP and can't be assed to stress test for it and just blame everyone else. I don't do random claims, I've already backed up Reflex implementation being broken and horrendous CPU utilization and no HT/SMT support with screenshots. My vdroop claim is justified.

My only mistake in this thread would be assuming you have an Intel CPU, but you're an uptight as$hole for no reason.

For saying Games cant kill hardware? Or blaming overclocking? - Both statements are correct:

Your vdroop problem is selfcreated by overclocking, with native settings you should not have this problem[Dot] Processors last around 10 years before they die of old age (not taking better tech into account). If the CPU is corrupted, well bad luck. This can happen. But this is NOT the fault of the game.

I know there are intel-processors made for overclocking ... However overclocking for a little more speed? - Well this shortens the lifespan of your CPU either way. I am a software-developer and totally dont get why people overclock.

If having an opinion based on knowledge makes me an a$$hole: So be it! Everytime again, if I just can convince one person to STOP OVERCLOCKING, it only costs the overclocker money and make people scream "This dadada-game kills my hardware".

Beside the ressources for semiconductors are not unlimited.

The "kill" was a hyperbole of mine, I obviously meant CPU crashing, not being literally killed. All Intel CPUs were crashing in games due to vdroop ON DEFAULT TURBO. Clock was not tampered with at all. No, vdroop problem is not selfcreated by overclocking, it's just how much current i7s and i9s pull on certain workload, that is present in games.

As to why people overclock stuff - to have higher performance, simple as that. Granted, overclocking modern CPUs give like 2% uplift so it makes little sense, so it's better to undervolt, especially AMD CPUs, so they can boost higher. But 7000MHz XMP to 7000MHz tuned is even 20% uplift https://i.imgur.com/tyIfeeY.png - 13900k, RAM with clocks specified (full tune means every timing worked as tight as it remained stable in y cruncher VT3 and TM5 1usmus memtest for 2 hours both), tuned 3080 Ti.

I can bet you're not even running JEDEC native RAM speed, which would be sooo ironic given how obnoxious about OCing you're right now. Knowledge, lol. Misinformation, wrong assumptions due to a cult of ignorance and bad habits at best.

Well you lost the bet.
The rest: you made clear you think I am an a$$hole so things can be clearly stopped here.

BTW: If you feel too offended by this statement: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PEBCAK
Software developers are not excluded from this statement.

[SirHawk]

Aren't you? With all those unnecesarily obnoxiously aggressive statements? Really? And to make things clear - JEDEC timings, so XMP/DOCP/A-XMP/EXPO disabled and skyhigh timings?
