Why ati drivers are bad

Joined Aug 20, Messages 16, 3. I sold my RX XT not long ago as well. Driver issues were fixed by the end of it in the sense that it did not crash, but: 1. Yeah, I know you said "current owners," but I was less than 2 weeks ago. I neither regret it, nor miss it. Joined Apr 14, Messages 0. Not one single problem with my RX XT, it is super stable. Look for HardwareUnboxed or Gamers Nexus.

Drivers seem fine other than when multiple monitors are involved and I've just stopped bothering installing Adrenaline at this point.

Far, far behind their competition on this front unfortunately. I'd hold off judgement on drivers for RDNA2 until it's released though. Joined Oct 17, Messages 8, 3. Steevo said:. R-T-B said:.

I don't want to buy Nvidia anymore, but if AMD can't get their shit together, the options are slim Joined May 31, Messages 2, 1.

Are AMD drivers really still terrible? Thread starter Corporate Thug Start date Jun 11, Corporate Thug Weaksauce. Joined Apr 3, Messages So I've been on team green for years now. This time around, I got a XT. Started playing AC Valhalla. About 10 hours in, the game crashes on the river raid mission. It crashed 5 times in a row at the same point. Suffice it to say, the game is unplayable.

Has AMD made any progress on their drivers or is this to be expected in all games? Really disappointed, especially considering the premium I paid.

I also like their overclocking tools in the driver something Nvidia does not have. Joined May 26, Messages Corporate Thug said:. Judging by the reddit posts, it's appears to be a widespread AMD issue. I threw in a ti and no issues at all. Hopefully its a coincidence - just happened to be the first game I ran and bam - non stop crashing. I violated rule 1: blame ubisoft if anything goes wrong. Just in case anyone is having the same issue, I took someone's recommendation to change the priority to "low" in the task manager.

The seemed to fix it so far.

Typically we like to give both AMD and Nvidia a few months to iron out bugs when releasing a new GPU series, especially when they're based on a new or mostly new architecture, as was the case with Turing and Navi. I should preface this by saying we haven't run into any major issues after countless hours of testing new Radeon GPUs in our labs.

Around months ago I ran into the black screen bug once. The fix was to hard reboot until it prompted me to load Windows into safe-mode. I was able to load back into Windows 10 normally, clean installed the driver, and after that I never saw the issue again.

Not as big of a nuissance, a reboot fixed that every time. Though he's been running extensive game tests spanning several hours that cover pretty much every quality setting in games, and not a single hiccup in all that testing.

For the first few months I coupled the Radeon with a Core iK , and then recently moved to Threadripper with the X and a fresh install of Windows 10, no issues as yet. AMD has publicly acknowledged these bugs as "known issues" in their Some Radeon RX series graphics users may intermittently experience a black screen while gaming or on desktop.

A potential temporary workaround is disabling hardware acceleration in applications running in the background such as web browsers or Discord. An intermittent black screen or loss of display may occur when performing parallel actions such as web browsing, gaming or watching video. An intermittent black screen or loss of display may occur when the system is left idle at desktop. Meanwhile, in the latest They also say: "A black screen may occur when performing a mode change with a limited number of displays on Radeon RX series graphics products.

In other words, several months after launch, AMD is still working on fixing the black screen bug. As we understand, if the situation has improved a lot, it still persists for some users. Because we haven't experienced these issues ourselves, we've been unable to troubleshoot them on our own. One educated guess is this stems from a hardware compatibility issue which is more and more likely based on the data and feedback we received from our recent poll.
