Good night.

I personally have good experience with AMD drivers.
People tend to blame AMD drivers for crashing but if it crashes on NVIDIA then it's never the drivers and always the game.

The Last of US is blamed until today when in big part it was Nvidia drivers.

[UserNotFound]

While AMD drivers aren't perfect, they're not as bad as some have made them out to be. Other than sometimes being a tad slow in optimization for the latest games, I've had nothing bad to say about them. I'm running a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT and a MERC310 RX 7900 XTX and it's been pretty good thus far.

Me too, going back 10 years.

I was warn not to update the driver for BF2042 and I laugh and updated. Boy was I sorry. Lol. COD crash too, so I rolled back the driver and rolled back some more and problem solved. My AMD/AMD isn’t as stable as my Intel/Nv PC was. All and all though it’s stable and I have no complaint with the performance. I just wouldn’t update the drivers all the time just to update them and roll back if problems. Really no big deal.

The last AMD gpu I had was Polaris, it was rock stable. I remember Vega was alright, but Navi sucked.
Now i'm looking at the 7900XT/XTX and the drivers are still bad after 3 generations?

Cheers.

Bro why are you linking articles from near release of the card in 2022?

I have a 7900XTX, have over 500 games and the only i game that gave me some issues in the past 2 years has been Warhammer Darktide, noterious for it's bad optimization.

AMD drivers are fine, and in some cases even better then Nvidia.

When are you boomers going to let the muh bad drivers meme from 2010 die?

Stop propagating outdated information

Navi has bad drivers? News to me.

I find a AMD drivers are always improving and are much improved from Polaris days.

I lost a card to a Polaris-era AMD driver bug that prevented the fans from spinning, which had remained unpatched until I discovered it a month and a half later while running a previous AMD card, and then when I reported it I got a phish attempt from my AMD account because AMD had been compromised in that big SolarWinds thing.

Brah can you read? The ff14 forum I linked is from 2024, literately two months old.

That isn't based on any actual fact. Instead, it's a decades old piece of FUD spread by Nvidia back when the GPUs were ATI. Nvidia feared that ATI might grow too much in market share due to performing just as well while being cheaper, so they revved up a FUD campaign in an effort to try and curb some of that growth.
Fast forward to 2024 and it still pops up from time to time. It's not true. It never has been.

Drivers are fine, however adrenaline doesn't like sharing with other programs ie: MSI Afterburner as this can cause the driver to crash as both are trying to read data etc.

It's not a big deal though as Adrenaline does pretty much everything programs MSI AB do.

Ok so why don't you explain what issues you are having so these folks can help you

Navi-based 5700 XT used to overheat and crash a lot on launch due to driver issues. Newer AMD cards seem to have had a better run in terms of drivers.

Based on my experiences with Linux, 5700 XT itself improved a lot as well, becoming practically usable for me ca. mid-2020. I'm still running that card now, holding out until 9950X3D to build a new machine. It does still have occasional issues but is mostly pretty good.

My previous card was a 5700 XT. It's still running nicely in my son's PC. I never had an issue with it, although it was a triple-fan, factory overclocked version by Sapphire. I can't speak for the reference cards.

7900 XTX crashing in Final Fantasy XIV

Yea of course, cause the user had a 7900 XTX, reference card.
Those had major issues. The 3rd party cards did not. This is a mute issue in 2024.

7800 XT, 7900 XT and XTX are super rock solid GPUs.

However yes I can't stand the AMD GPU software, you have to change some of their defaults; but all defaults on just about anything are always terrible anyways; even the defaults for NVIDIA GPUs are terrible until you make some changes in NVIDIA Control Panel. It's always been this way where defaults are concerned.

For one thing, AMD has a Low Latency setting; disable that non-sense.
