Anyone else experiencing AMD driver crashes with an undervolted GPU?

[wet socks]

Hey people,

title says it all, my driver keeps crashing when I have an undervolt configured, no matter how much of an undervolt it is.

I also had this happen in mh world, when I was using a Nvidia GPU and setting a framerate limit helped with that so I might tinker with that too tomorrow in wilds, but the difference here is that my crashes are driver crashes and not game crashes.

Rn I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this or if someone is experiencing no crashes at all with an undervolted card from AMD (or Nvidia).

Will also further test things tomorrow with a stock card. Didn't have any crashes there without an undervolt, but it might have been just luck.

Had two crashes in a row, one was when I had undervolt with amd gpu and it reset to default after it happend, but i crashed again with default settings without undervolting right after.
Keep in mind these crashes only happened after today's update, So it's probably just that.

Ah okay, good to know it's not just me. I am on a new GPU so maybe drivers aren't that well implemented yet. Hope the game won't crash when I'll be playing later today - a frameratelimit might help, so I'll tinker with that if it happens.

I had a heap of crashes on my 7900XTX to start with. But I set my max frequency to 2700MHz and not a single crash since.

I played a bit stock now (9070 xt Gigabyte OC) and it has been fine (fps limit set to 165)

I did a quick Google search to see if it was just me having these issues and I found this thread, glad to know its not just my new card. I picked up a TUF 9070XT on launch day and I so far have been able to undervolt in other games and for benchmarks, but Wilds constantly crashes if I have even a slight undervolt. Increasing the power limit to max still seems to be stable at least. Has that been the experience of other 9070XT owners?

7900XT here. You mentioned World. I don't play Wilds, but I do play World with an undervolt and have had no issues even after multi-hour sessions.

Lots and lots of people have crashing issues. Probably due to a wide range of factors, however they all have one common denominator, the game.

The game is the issue, whether is DRM stuff, or their horrible optimization.

Save yourself the trouble of finding a "fix". The only fix required is on capcoms end

I'm using an RX 7900 XTX and get driver crashes every time I play, sometimes after 2 hours, one time after less than a minute, there seems to be problems with this game and AMD cards.

Was this GPU or VRAM frequency?

Little update from me: my undervolt and my game both run fine now, no crashes. However I do limit my framerate to 120 and this is most likely the reason.

I also made sure to really have a clean driver install: amd cleanup, DDU, also used MPOGPUFIX (https://github.com/RedDot-3ND7355/MPO-GPU-FIX) after everything was installed and of course I completely deleted my MH wilds shadercache so it could be built again from scratch (also clean MH wilds install, reframework, a little reshade and the dll fix).

Probably just the game. So far MH Wilds has cause me 1 bsod and a few crashes with the recent update. No issues with other games. Tried using an old driver but still the same. Running on RX 7800 XT. Hopefully they'll fix this next patch, felt bad crashing during an sos trying to help others

I experience driver crashes with an undervolted 4080 super for some strange reason. Otoh the undervolted 4070ti Super on my other system doesn't cause crashes. This game works in mysterious ways.

My friend with his 7900xt has been playing monster hunter wilds with this hotfix 25.2.1 amd driver from the start without a single crash so far. But given how broken this game is you might as well have nonstop crashes with same drivers and same hardware, lol.

I think this post is a bit pointless.

"Game crashes when undervolted"

The answer:
Your card is getting pushed more now and your undervolt is unstable. Simple as that, if the game crashes without undervolt that is a different story, but if its caused by undervolt you just go unlucky in silicon lottery and nothing else.

Also undervolt can become unstable overtime as the card gets older with actual wear on silicon. Its not substantial but can happen to any device and I had this with a CPU where I could undervolt it for like 2-3 years with no issues and one day it just started bsod when under load. Had to bring it back to stock and it was fine afterwards.
