I'm using 7900XTX for my GPU

[Caesar]

Why is it that when I use the CPU of 9700X and the GPU of 7900XTX, the game starts and the screen freezes immediately? The AMD driver is the latest version. It pops up a prompt saying "Driver Timeout". How to solve this?

[{ASM}Zero]

issues not always related with drivers, "Driver Timeout" means that game freeze and was not able continue whatever it was doing

i to have here 7900XTX and it runs fine. you need search issue at somewhere else

Is 32G of memory enough? Are you using Windows 10?

32GB is sweet spot run this game, 7900XTX self have 24GB, i'm not sure its hardware, it could be something else like C++ Redistributable needs repair or need delete ACE game folder inside documents , this kind issues is been from game launch day

Search TDRDelay the solution is old but is still works by giving the GPU a longer time to recover from any hang.
The fix involves a quick regedit but it SHOULD solve your issue..

A friend of mine had a similar problem, but in another game. But this is a problem with all lines of these wild video chips. The first thing you need to do is reconfigure the cooling system manually. Try starting with the maximum fan speed on the card! In short, the problem is that the driver only sees the temperature sensor on the crystal itself. The VRM zone does not have a sensor. The VRM zone overheats very quickly. In fact, the driver does not care, it seems to have a normal temperature on the crystal ... at first, and it overclocks its frequency into space ... undervolt - fixed freq! - manual cooling curve - that's u solution

As far as I remember, this GPU has a nominal frequency of 2.4 GHz. And what does yours overclock to? 3.2 or more?
Don't buy hardware that you can't manually configure! (no negativity)
The problem with this video card is that it is too fast. You most likely have some super sample that can overclock itself very seriously.

Why is this happening?
Smart Boost can sometimes be too smart
The driver thinks: "Oh, the core temp is only 60°C? Let’s push it to 3.2 GHz!"
But the VRMs or memory are already at their limit → after 5 minutes: "Timeout Driver."

Silicon lottery
If you have a well-binned chip, it might briefly boost that high.
But if voltage or cooling can’t keep up → crash.

What to do?
Manually lock the frequency:

Set a max clock of 2.8–3.0 GHz in Adrenalin (testing shows this is a safe limit for the 7900 XTX).

Check VRM thermals:

If there’s no sensor, run fans at 100% and see if crashes decrease.

Update motherboard BIOS/UEFI:

Sometimes Resizable BAR/SAM conflicts with boosting.

Sorry but 90% of that is utter Pish... ANY AIB 7900XTX rarely gets above 75C package temp and rarely above 85C junction temps even on the stock settings.
If you ARE seeing above 110C hotspot/junction temps RMA the card as it's likely faulty.
They're MORE than capable of running at upto 90C package temp and 110C Hotspot/junction temp before you'll see any thermal throttling of the clockspeeds.
consistently hitting these kind of temps will only really affect the lifespan of the chip which is why these are the point where the GPU will throttle the speeds to avoid temps getting any higher
I got the Asrock Taichi and never saw temps go above 73C even when overclocking the pants off it.
FWIW this was GN's vid from the 7900XTX reference design cards...
https://youtu.be/We71eXwKODw?si=veKtdn65whojnvFG&t=1338

The VRM temps were removed as it was pointless having them as they'll run all day at upto 105C and again they'll hit a GPU performance wall WAAAAY before they get THAT hot.

This "Solution" of push it to the max regardless doesn't do any favours particularly in a beta game, you SHOULD instead be suggesting run it at default settings..

Whilst TDR Delay adjusts Windows Timeout Detection and Recovery parameters giving the GPU enough time to recover by itself as intended.
MS doesn't HAVE an active TDR Delay registry entry at all and, as a result the default recovery window is around 2 seconds before Win 11 says NOPE and crashes or reboots with the error messages along the lines of "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" or "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." or as OP stated "Driver Timeout".
The key words are BOTH there "driver" and "timeout".

As mentioned overclocking in a beta game is pointless creating more problems than it's worth, as it's already likely to be unstable so OC'ing can actually cause horrendous artifacting freezes BSOD's etc etc..
Create that TDR Delay registry entry. (Check it's still there when MS updates Windows cause I've had to redo the registry edit on numerous occasions as the update will often delete "unknown" registry edits.)
Save the current OC settings to create a profile.
Switch to default GPU settings.

If you're one of those who doesn't know what you're doing with overclocking I highly recommend Project Hydra from 1usmus as this piece of software will test your CPU and GPU at a variety of speeds and voltages and creates a complete map of the performance of each thread plus it benchmarks to test for stability and automatically create profiles for various usage scenarios.
Yeah it costs money but on my old 5800X I had that OC'd to 5GHZ all cores and Hydra dropped the core clock to 4.8GHz and undervoltyed the CPU but still gained me 5%+ CPU score...
Hydra will also OC/UV your GPU and can also supply you safe fast and extreme RAM profiles based on the chips on each DIMM.
It takes AGES to run the full test suite but once done you'll have faster results. lower power usage and better stability than a manual overclock.

Take it from someone who's had AMD cards for 2 decades instead of Chat GPT!

Thank you. I'll go and have a look.

Is the graphics card overheating? I haven't noticed it before. Maybe it's this problem. I'll check the BIOS fan settings.

I mean turning the fans up is always a good idea in my opinion if your having any issues, often the amd fan curve is just kind of low and the card will perform better with a custom fan curve hitting 60-75% fan speed (as loud as you can stand i guess) Some cards have also had kind of high hot spot temps compared to core temps like a 20-25c+ difference so turning the fans up really helps with that.

Undervolting can also really help put less heat into the card too if you dont want the fan noise really both are a good idea often better performance on AMD cards with undervolting a little.

You can use the AMD software to show all your FPS and Temperatures to monitor temps in the performance tab you can also tune the gpu in this tab by going to the tuning tab and selecting custom then you can change the fan curve and undervolt or overclock and all that stuff..

Honestly I would never let my GPU run at 90c I try to stay as close to 65-70c core and under 90c on the hotspot(I would really prefer 85 or less)
I have a rx6800 so I dont think I even get close to those temps I also run a higher fan speed lol
A friend of mine was having crashing recently on his 7900xt(not into sim racing) turning the fan speed up seemed to fix it, I think its a gigabyte card has a huge heatsink but the hot spot temp was 25c higher then the core and the stock fan curve was just not really kicking the fans up at all, so the core was staying cool but the hotspot was getting pretty high, im not sure if it was even coming out of 0 fan speed mode.

As well if your case fans are not venting the heat out of the case you will almost surely overheat with a GPU using that kind of power.

here is a video I made showing ACC Vs Ac Evo with my AMD Metrics overlay showing FPS Vram system ram usage and all that I was using 4k medium preset with FSR balanced 16 AI on Mt Panorama AMG GT2 if you want to idk compare I do show the in game settings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3eV9Foi-ak

As well this video I was using 4k high preset with quality FSR but no AI testing the Lambo and Lancia on Mt Fuji and shows my AMD Metrics overlay with Vram and system ram usage, def a bit low FPS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80XifHZVMXk

In the first comparison video I show at the end how to disable full screen optimizations too maybe that would help idk, you can also run it as administrator but I dont do that anymore.

So idk it is actually working ok on my system obviously lower FPS than I would like for how it looks though. Im on windows 10 and amd driver 24.5.1 in the videos but I have updated to the most recent one now, still not sure if I will keep it though 24.5.1 has been the best for my rx6800.


Anyways it could be all kinds of issues running DDU and reinstalling the AMD software might help too.

Also on AMD GPUs 32gb is usually enough having a bunch of extra Vram I think helps with system ram usage or maybe Im crazy I just noticed I never use as much system ram as a lot of the nvidia benchmark runs I see rarely over 16gb,
playing Oblivion remastered I did see 20+gb of system ram and it filled all 16gb of my vram...I think maybe a memory leak or something is possibly going on though, performance got really bad after about a hour, kind of the first time I saw that much system ram usage though on my PC.

don't waste your time for this, game launch issues is been some time now, its something todo with some settings, i do not know exactly what cause it because different users have different symptoms.

common issue what been reported before

onedrive could cause problem

C++ Redistributable may need Repair, somehow they get damaged

windows defender can also block the game, soo need check that as well if that actually allows run

there been also lately one report from one user that bios reset help

one user tell that he was able run game when he turn internet off

driver timeout - always issue with card

I have a similar problem. The game starts, everything is ok in the menu, but when I try to start a race, the game crashes. Tried deleting ACE folder in documents. Tried fixing vc redist, tried increasing TdrDelay, but nothing helped. This problem is only in this game

GPU - 5700XT
CPU - Ryzen 3600
RAM - 32GB

[Половогубка Боб]

This helps me. Just donwload and extract it to your folder. This makes the game use vulcan instead of dx. https://www.nexusmods.com/assettocorsaevo/mods/1?tab=files

But but it works so slowly, constant lags and freezes. I think that if the game could run without this mod, the fps would be higher

UPD:
After another restart of the game the fps became better

Thank you. I haven't solved this problem yet. I'll give this mod a try.

This mod is truly amazing. The game is playable now.
