This issue has been frustrating me for a while now. While my GTX 1060 6GB worked ok and only struggled in a few games, the RX 590 is a whole another story. No matter where I tried it, the stuttering and driver crashes are of major concern to me (I used CapFrameX, NOT Afterburner, to monitor the frametime graph, and I am noticing spikes on it, and carried over to different monitors I tried it with). Had RMA'd it 2 times already, to no avail. Have done SO MUCH, including rolling back drivers, increasing power limit, downclocking it to 580 level performance, using VSync, changing PSUs, testing a single stick of RAM, and a new CPU, and it didn't solve it AT ALL. Temps aren't an issue as they are within safe range. I wouldn't suspect at this point that my GPU isn't faulty, but rather my mobo may be causing such issues (not to mention I even used PCIe Gen2 level speed, and never solved the issue either; updated and reset the BIOS to no avail, too). Trust me, I just need stutter less performance, and high FPS, I just need a permanent solution that doesn't compromise on performance (also one that doesn't involve Wattman). I originally got it from Best Buy's website back in January, and have always been having this issue since day 1. I am now concerned that my GPU isn't getting enough power to sustain the load, despite having used the 2 separate 12V rails from all the PSUs I've paired the GPU with (don't worry tho, I didn't use some cheap PSU, JUST the good brands like Seasonic and EVGA), or it could be the power in my house, tho the same issue remains if I plugged my PC into a UPS. BTW just in case also reported this as a bug via the new AMD bug reporting tool in the latest drivers. I don't want to revert back to the 1060 since I would like to have the performance and VRAM benefits this GPU provides.

EDIT: Shoulda also mentioned that I one time got a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD from ntoskrnl.exe, shortly after the driver crashed.

I have the exact same gpu and I have no issues. Is there a particular reason why you have such an overkill cpu paired with a cheap mobo and gpu? I assume you do like productivity work or something cpu intensive and have the RX 590 as a display card and not for gaming.

Otherwise Id just get a new gpu tbh.

TDLR; Reinstall drivers or possible put the GPU in another pc (like a friend's) and see if the issues persist.

First off, I don't understand why you consider my mobo "cheap", but for 1, my mobo is a B450, which means it would be "good" enough for gaming. But also I have the CPU I have since I also use it for video editing, as well as for the sake of futureproofing my system. And when it comes to the GPU itself, I use it for gaming. You can say I do both on it at the same time xD

I mean you are pariing a £450 cpu with a sub £120 motherboard. Its good enough for gaming but you dont get the most out of your CPU such as bandwidth limitation and suitable power delivery.

I see your point now, which best mobo (B450, B550, or X570) would your recommend that I could use to make sure I am getting the experience I need, and not have that stuttering issue I have now? Could those better mobos help give enough power to keep the GPU active and therefore remedy most, if not all the issues? Thanks in advance.

My Specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
32 GB DDR4 Ram 3200Mhz XMP profile
Corsair 750W Fully modular
Asus Rog Strix B450F

And i'm not having any problems using the same cpu on the same type of motherboard. I'm thinking it's just a faulty GPU card.

Yea i know i'm not getting full use out of my cpu but when i bought my parts back in may of this year all the x570's was sold out.

Well I wouldn't really think it's that "faulty", since I RMA'd my card twice in a row, and the same issue persists, not to mention even the person I was with was on the support line for XFX wasn't favoring that I RMA it again, and I'm on the same boat as him as I RMA'd it too many times now.

True. My son is having problems with rx 570 with the driver install always crashing. Then when he does finally get them to install he will have a constant blue spinning circle above his pointer and will flicker, no matter how many times he restarts. It only goes away when he uninstalls the amd gpu drivers. Once he can get the drivers reinstalled it goes back to the blue spinning circle and flickering pointer.

Ok so update, just tested the 590 on another PC, and sadly the crashing issue carried over. :( Therefore, I have temporarily reverted my PC back to the 1060 for the time being.

Sadly i think it's the card from XFX. I wonder if you got a 590 from a different company would it do the same?
