Okay, what the hell is up with the 7900XTX?

[DyonisX]

I'm so tired of this GPU having Driver Timeouts across a lot of games I play, I can't believe that what is essentially a top of the line AMD GPU has to constantly crash and be wrangled into working properly, it's honestly outrageous.

I just got the game and tried playing 3 multiplayer matches and my driver crashed each time.

Just saw someone on Reddit suggesting turning Reflection Quality/SSGI/Ambient Occlusion to lowest/off - going to try it this time see how it goes

My drivers also crashed the moment I tried changing volumetric fog from medium to high the first time so maybe that's also a sore spot.

Keep in mind that this is with me underclocking to 2850 and undervolting to 1050

Did find a fix. GUDIE BELOW

The biggest help for me was installing process lasso, with that i could turn off Radeon Chill. But you still wont be able to run high fps. My fps in game at optimized setting for FPS wont go above 70-80 fps. My friends 3060ti gets the same fps as i do.

I am using i9 11900f with 7900xt

Run the game with DirectX11 (add the following Launch Option in Steam -> "--use-d3d11" [Without ""])
Limit FPS to 60FPS max in AMD Adrenaline with Radeon Chill
clear your cache 
Hit the windows key. In the search box type in %appdata% and it will bring you to the correct folder. Then follow the file path listed above. %appdata% isn't in the game files
Install process lasso https://dl.bitsum.com/files/processlassosetup64.exe
Run Helldivers2 then go to process lasso / Active Processes tab - and right click helldivers2
Set CPU Priority --> Always --> High
Set CPU Affinity --> Always --> Disable SMT
Set CPU Limiter --> 50% - 2 seconds - 4 cores - OK

Nah don't bother, literally just roll drivers back to 23.11.1 and you don't have to do anything else

stop undervolting. It's dumb and only causes problems. Your hardware requires a certain voltage to run correctly. DO NOT MESS WITH IT.

How? I'm getting 110fps on ultra quality with no special steps besides disabling SSGI on the xtx

edit: Sorry, it's 110 fps with super sampling. It's 220 on ultra

I like how you're saying that as if it's solely responsible, back then I also just ran it with default tuning and also overvolted it and they all crashed the same way, literally no point trying to force the game into working when you can just roll back the driver and fix it

I did a clean reinstall of Windows 11 with my 7900 XTX and I am still seeing frequent crashes. I have tried GI on/off, Anti-Aliasing on/off, SSR on/off, etc...
It seems to be somewhat dependent on the planet you're dropping on, as some planets run OK while others have more frequent issues. Fenrir III has been horrible for me. Can't play 30 minutes without a crash even with FPS limit set to 60, vsync on, and lower settings.

This seems to have been mostly resolved for me in the latest patch. I'll update if I find more crashes.

Hello
I have every option turned on including AA and im also on 7900xtx and no more crashes. All I did is I went from full screen to borderless. Try that and let me know .

ITS WINDOWS ISSUE , I HAVE 7900XT and 6800 , no issues in linux on either system . Only thing I would blame on developers is poor scaling at 1440P when 6800 has only like 15 fps less than the 7900XT . On LINUX I HAVE NO CRASHES WITH EITHER GPU . Even higher framerate than friend with 4070 on 6800 .

I am not an amd user so idk for sure but from what I have read some people have had success with underclocking or adjusting voltage settings and timings, I am not someone who has any experience with adjusting voltages or anything and you should not do this if you dont know what you are doing or at least be able to consult with someone that does.

Between that and finding a driver that works has been the solution to most people that I have read on many games.

Use DDU and do a clean install.

AMD and bad drivers. It's a reocurring thing.

The RX 7900 XTX isn't the problem. The game is. All other games new or not run on it with no issues. You know the game is the problem because Nvidia GPUs crashes the same way with this game.

Also some of you don't even understand the basics of PC building. Here's a free piece of advice. The RX 7900 XTX draws about 350W of power which is A LOT. SO if you have GPU unstability issues (hard pc crash for example), you need to take two separate PCIe cables from your PSU to plug into each 8-PIN connector. Take two different cables and plug one 8-PIN of each onto the GPU. That's already one problem solved. It's either that or you're running anything below 800W for a PSU. The alternative with Nvidia is the fire hazard that is their new connector.

So again, I have no problems in any games with my RX 7900 XTX this way. Helldivers is the only problem and it's not on AMD or the RX 7900 XTX it's on the developers and the fact that their game is unstable on either Nvidia or AMD.

Some of you also appearently aren't capable of googling. Write "--use-d3d11" in the steam launch options to run the game under DX11 which has given me no crashes since it is DX12 that is unstable as the devs clearly lack the competence to make a DX12 game stable. And yet they released it knowingly. Now if DX11 still doesn't work as I've seen it doesn't for some people, tough deal but all you can do is wait for the fix that might never come.

And let me be very clear. There is no settings, no system tweaking no BIOS update that will stop your game from crashing because the problem is not your hardware, it's the game itself. Your hardware is fine as long as you meet the minimum specs. SO please don't potentially screw your system settings over this game when all it's gonna do is nothing but potentially screw up your other games or your system.

I've used AMD ever since almost falling for the 3.5 meme. Never had an issue.
The problem is always the end user.

AMD hasn't had bad drivers since Adrenaline and even before that, I remember the 2018 new version software they had launched run very well with an R9 270X then RX 580.
You clearly haven't owned an AMD GPU since 2009 or you've never owned one at all.
But keep proving yourself to be completely uneducated and misinformed on topics you clearly know nothing about.

Now that's interesting
Actually never thought Windows could be this bad if what you're saying is accurate
