AMD vs NVIDIA

[Jin]

I have a 6600XT paired with a ryzen 7 5800x3d, and I crash after about 10 minutes of being in a hunt.

I've done all the "fixes" listed in the discussion and on official pages from shaders to lowering gpu load, but I still crash. So I'm wondering if this is mostly an amd issue because all of my friends who play it fine have nvidia(2060s to 5090s). Should I just make sure to snag a nvidia card when I upgrade or are other people with those cards also crashing

no? i have both vendor cards but one is 3080 the other is 9070xt both have no major crashing issues, had some issues on my 3080 at the start trying to figure out what mods work for perf and running diff settings but now its pretty much not crashing at all

also make sure ur system, whether thats cpu or ram or psu can handle the ugprade and don't have any existing problems with stability otherwise its going to feel painful to upgrade and still crash rip

[Kamnesty]

have you tried the "EasyPatcher" mod? i am using that and i haven't crashed since, and my cpu usage is down a good amount. i'm using an 6750XT.

I've only used Nvidia cards for about 20 years. About 10 years ago, I briefly switched to AMD and then went back after about a week.

I've never had any problems, unless Nvidia went overboard with the drivers. I just downgraded a version and it's fine.

Currently, I "still" have a 3080ti FE running at 3440x1440 without any problems at about 100 fps. My laptop has a 4060, and on FHD I get about 70-80 fps, also no problems.

But I think that most crashes, whether Nvidia or AMD, are software-related, a poorly maintained system, excessive overclocking or undervolting, etc.

Hm, crashing could be an issue due to rams. How much gb of rams do you have?

I'd suggest trying the 24.12.1 dirvers.

Those are the ones I'm using since the 25.x ones caused me to randomly crash when I upgraded to them.

Thank you, just tried it but still crashes the same unfortunately

I'm at 32GB DDR4 at 3600Mhz

I'll be trying this then, I downgraded from different 25.x versions but I haven't tried rolling back to 24.x

intel/Nvidia > AMD/AMD

Always has been like that

Playing on a 7900 xtx with a 5700x3d. Not really any issues. One thing that made me have issues was discord overplay. My advise would be to turn off any stuff that might interact with the game. Good luck.

I wouldn't make any conclusion on what hardware to purchase based on a game that is a buggy mess. You can literally be crashing for anything when playing this game because the dev team was incompetent.

Also, Nvidia's recent drivers all suck. That is fact, not an opinion. The past last year they've been slipping hard.

Quite sure the crashes are not brand related but settings and limited hardware power.

Nah, times have changed a long time ago. Running pure AMD systems for over 15 years by now and never regret it. Its almost everytime a user caused issue if something goes wrong.

Not to mention the way better performance your get per buck compared NV-fees.

I like to think that, but after handling the AMD in ASUS ROG Ally and seeing all the troubleshooting issues regarding AMD... still hard to imagine.

I praise the performance per value ratio, but why all the driver issues - I am not sure if it is really worth it.

Driver issues are not common anymore. Its mostly vendor related if the drivers provided by AMD are not properly ported over to the vendors system. I am using Asus (motherboard) myself, but i know and have experienced the horros their mobile devices (notebooks) have. If you get something similar (same hardware configuration) with other vendors like MSI or Lenovo, you do not experience such issues. The Web is quite filled with such experiences.

The only worse thing you can do is buy a DELL/Alienware. Then you have signed up for the worst experience and lack of proper support in your entire life.

A quick fix for most people would be to set a frame limiter with a reasonable number from 60-90 depending on what hardware.

Especially on uncapped framerates there will be lots of overheating problems resulting in crashes. Yeah just numbers in a pc you won't notice ... imagine what you would do to a machine in the real world and you are doing that to your pc.
