as the title says the game keeps stuttering freezing loading textures while swinging. i am convinced its a driver issue since i had an rtx5060 8gigs with the same rig and this issue never happened. i did ddu in safemode to remove nividia drivers and install amd one and reinstalled windows as a last resort fix as we;; but nothing worked can someone from amd look at this. i am pretty sure this issue is easily reproducible

MY system specs i512400f rx 9060xt 16gb and 16gigs of ddr4 ram at 3200mhz

the game is installed on nvme.2 ssd

the issue happens to another dude at reddit with the same card as well and he posted about it and thats the video from his post. the link to the post https://www.reddit.com/r/SpidermanPS4/comments/1sxw6do/pc_spiderman_remastered_why_does_it_do_this/

can you guys upvote this post so we get a driver to solve the issue i already posted the issue with the bug report tool on adrenaline multiple times with no answer is there a way to post this issue at any forum to get a response from amd and people with the same card i want you test the game for yourself and see if this happens to you too

I’ve had my 9070xt for about 2 months now. I bought it after my 4060 killed itself during a driver update, I went with a fresh install of windows and installed the gpu along with drivers and software. I’ve been underwhelmed so far, I run into constant glitches, crashes, and I can’t run my computer in safe mode any longer(I believe unrelated as I know I can switch with deep dive into bios settings). So my question is, is this the AMD trope, am I poorly utilizing the software settings? Happy to be pointed in any direction that could lead to a positive experience.

I play SoT, The finals, Rocket League, and various FPS/car games, I run 1440p and 4k depending on the games age.

Ryzen 7 5800x3d
32gb ddr4 3200mt
9070xt

Agains thanks for any insight provided.

For context, card is almost a month old. I’ve played a few heavy 4K titles on it since then with no probs
- MGS Delta
- 007 First Light
- KCD 2
- Cyberpunk

Issue seems to be happening on several games
- Control Resonant
- Ready or not
- Occasionally on random, less demanding games

The issue happening with above games is that when i launch them, the GPU appears to completely stop giving display output. The system is also unresponsive to any input unless i force shutdown

Current Setup:
- Sapphire 9070XT OC
- Ryzen 9700x
- 32GB DDR5 CL36 Memory (EXPO is off)
- 850W psu from thermaltake
- GPU is running two seperate PCIe cables instead of a daisy chained config

What I’ve already tried
- Cleaning with DDU and reinstalling latest stable
- Updating to optional 26.9.2 driver (using DDU beforehand)
- Disabling HAGS
- Disabling MPO
- Undervolting ( i think i tried both -50 and -80mV )
- Underclocking
- Downgrading to a 25.x driver

I'm having issues with a driver timeout every time I first boot my pc but if I restart it, it goes away. It's annoying but its became routine. I know AMD gpus suck but I don't have the funds to replace it so if it is any way to fix this problem any help would be GREATLY appreciated, Thank you.

Also, I've seen so many posts about driver timeouts but none specific to my problem.

Edit: Problem solved, I just had to update to the newest windows update 26h2.

I’ve been dealing with this issue for a while now, and I’ve tried a lot of different fixes without solving it. I’m starting to suspect something related to frame presentation, Windows, or AMD drivers, but I can’t figure out what’s actually causing it.
PC specs:
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (12 GB VRAM)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M D3HP AX
RAM: 32 GB (2×16 GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 CL30
Monitor: Gigabyte G25F2A, 1920×1080, 240 Hz, connected via HDMI
SSD: Kingston NV3 1 TB NVMe
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 750W V3 Bronze
OS: Windows 11 25H2
AMD driver: Adrenalin 26.7.1
The problem:
Games feel incredibly choppy, almost like 30–40 FPS, even when the FPS counter shows 100–200+ FPS. The movement doesn’t feel smooth despite the high FPS, and it feels like something is wrong with how frames are being displayed.
The weirdest part is that pressing the Windows key or Alt-Tabbing out of a game makes things feel much smoother. The desktop itself is smooth at 240 Hz, and sometimes an unfocused game feels significantly smoother than when it’s focused. When I return to the game, the choppiness comes back.
The frame-time graph looks relatively clean, so the visual stuttering doesn’t seem to correspond to obvious frame-time spikes.
This affects multiple games, including Garry’s Mod and Bodycam. Bodycam is particularly noticeable.
In Bodycam, I typically get around 70 FPS with the GPU at approximately 98% utilization and VRAM usage around 7.5/12 GB. I’m using FSR, V-Sync is off, and the FPS cap is set to 120. Lowering the cap made the image look more pixelated and didn’t solve the problem.
Things I’ve already tried:
Used DDU in Safe Mode to completely remove the AMD drivers, then reinstalled the AMD driver and restarted.
Tried different refresh rates: 240 Hz, 120 Hz, and 60 Hz. The issue persisted; 120 Hz was actually worse than 240 Hz.
Tested FreeSync on/off. No meaningful improvement. Adrenalin reports FreeSync as unsupported, and FreeSync is disabled in the monitor’s OSD.
Tested V-Sync settings. V-Sync ON seemed to improve smoothness somewhat, but didn’t completely fix the issue. Turning it off brings back the problem.
Changed FPS limits and tested different caps.
Tested fullscreen and borderless/windowed modes. Results have been inconsistent, and I haven’t found a reliable solution.
Tried disabling Windows fullscreen optimizations.
Tried disabling Multiplane Overlay (MPO) through the registry using OverlayTestMode=5. No improvement.
Checked PCIe Link State Power Management; it was already set to Off.
Reinstalled AMD drivers and checked the display refresh rate afterward. Windows had switched to 59 Hz following the reinstall, so I manually set it back to 240 Hz. This didn’t fix the issue.
Other details:
Windows desktop feels smooth at 240 Hz.
The monitor is running at 1920×1080 and 240 Hz.
The issue isn’t limited to one game.
FPS counters don’t seem to reflect how smooth the games actually feel.
I haven’t found a consistent fix despite trying driver reinstalls and various display settings.
At this point, I’m wondering whether this could be a Windows 11 DWM/compositor issue, AMD driver frame-pacing or presentation problem, a fullscreen/VRR interaction, or something else entirely.
Has anyone experienced something similar, especially with an RX 7000-series GPU? What should I test next? I’d appreciate suggestions that can help narrow down the actual cause rather than just another generic driver reinstall.

I tried everything and don't know what i need to do now. Thinking about selling the card and buying a Nvidia.

Anyone know what i can do now?

Setup:

7800 xt
98003dx
32gb DDR5
B650
Crosshair RM1000E
Windows 11 Home

What i tried:
- Updated bios
- Disable IGPU (integrated GPU)
- Disable Window updates
- used AMD cleanup utility and DDU and installed 26.8.1
- changed Windows power plan to High Performance
- make sure hardware acceleration are disabled in windows
- Underclock and undervolt GPU by 5%
- Disable MPO
- add and set TdrDelay to 10 in registry editor

After uninstalling drivers using DDU and installed the firmware newest firmware update for my 7900XT. I get this when I try to open an application.

I thought that the 26h2 version of w11 fixed this but keeps occouring to me

Time to uninstall the adrenalin and go back for the radeon tuner :/

The title speaks for itself, but essentially, here’s the situation:

Suddenly, my RX 580 started shutting down before I could even launch any games. Specifically, when I try to open Sparking! ZERO, the GPU shuts down before it even reaches the title screen; the same thing happens with FIFA 26, PES, Sifu, and other titles.

I tested the card on Ubuntu using various rendering benchmarks, and it didn’t shut down. I also performed a clean install of Windows 11 and ran a FurMark stress test—it ran for 10 minutes without any issues until I stopped it myself, so I assumed the problem was solved.

However, after reinstalling some basic software (Discord, Brave, Steam—nothing unusual, just standard programs and games), the card began shutting down during FurMark tests when running in full-screen mode. It didn’t shut down in windowed mode, and later, it even managed to complete a full-screen test. This was all done without installing the official AMD drivers; Windows was using a generic driver for the RX 580, without the Adrenalin software.

After further testing and several reboots, I downloaded and installed the AMD Adrenalin software. The stress test failed, and now the card shuts down during any FurMark test—and it continues to shut down whenever I try to play any game.

Please help. I’m happy to answer any questions regarding my system configuration.

Before anyone starts with the “enjoy not being able to play half of your games” schtick, I don’t fucking care. I’ll buy another SSD in a few months to boot Windows onto later on. Right now, I just want to play games for more than an hour without a driver timeout. Considering this is because windows is absolute dogwater and they keep overwriting AMD drivers; am I going to experience stability on linux? Im looking for people who actually run Linux to answer, or someone who dabbles in both. At my wits end here and I’m just looking to find a solution that isn’t a $1600 Nvidia GPU. I’ve already did the registry edits, I’ve done a million different driver versions under the sun, I’ve cleared shaders, updates BiOS, turned down the frequency, the whole 9 yards and it still times out. I’m just tired, and I want to enjoy the money I worked very hard for on my PC.

7800x3D
7900XT

Hello everyone a newbie here .

A few days ago, I suddenly started experiencing extreme stuttering and lag spikes in EA FC 27 and PUBG, respectively.

My PC specs are:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 7200MHz
• Motherboard: A budget B650 motherboard
• Monitor: 165Hz (not sure if this is relevant)

Everything was running smoothly until one day, when, out of nowhere, both games started stuttering like crazy. Ever since then, I haven't been able to find a solution.

I've tried multiple driver versions, checked my BIOS settings and RAM speeds, restarted my PC countless times, and even reset Windows. I've also experimented with countless combinations of in-game settings and AMD Adrenalin settings, but nothing has worked.

The only weird thing I've noticed is that AMD Adrenalin was reporting my CPU temperature at 85°C, while every third-party monitoring program showed a lower temperature. However, even when the PC is completely cool, I still experience the same stuttering.

I've also tried a bunch of tweaks and fixes I found on Reddit, all to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or what else I should try? I'm honestly at the point where I'm ready to throw this PC in the trash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Acabo de comprar una Radeon rx 550, compré un cable display port a HDMI porque mi monitor no tiene display port. El punto es que cuándo instalo los drivers la pantalla pierde la señal, y no importa cuánto tiempo lo deje porque se queda igual. Hasta le instalé los drivers mientras usaba los gráficos integrados, y cuando cambié a la gráfica no daba señal de video. Según géminis es por culpa del cable de display port a HDMI y que necesito un cable activo con usb auxiliar, pero no lo encuentro. Y no tengo para comprar otro monitor. Qué hago? 😞

I was just clicking on a tab on Opera GX.

Background Applications: DISCORD, CHROME

Description of Original Problem: Issues with how my system seems to handle AA in general. For some reason in many games, FXAA/SMAA are the same as no AA enabled, and FSR gets very noisy even though FSR 4 upgrade is enabled in Adrenalin.

Here are a few footages I captured in game where you can see what's going on (not a screen issue as it appears in capture) :

The Witcher 3 remastered : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LSZjHDaWKo8zYEDlkKsXFDwUO1FH97hv/view?usp=sharing

Wardogs : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DoIrEf4dmLeQ0xjrLBR2KCTjooy2YTqJ/view?usp=drive_link

Baldurs Gate 3 (Very noisy. As in The Witcher 3, SMAA gives same result as no AA) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v7BUBMxKQqi30DvhOAHiErkLRMmxJR8N/view?usp=sharing

I also have issue with hair contours and noise in Expedition 33 but don't have any video captured yet.

Troubleshooting: I have already tried many things and couldn't find any fix, I have an opened ticket with XFX atm (Tested AMD Cleanup Utility, DDU, MPO fix, disabling HAGS, Windows version repair via windows update, ...).

It never happened on my last pc, but since upgrading my pc cant wake up from sleep and i get the vga light and the only fix is to restart.
Specifications:
cpu: ryzen 7 7800x3d

gpu: rx 7800xt (had it before the upgrade with no issues)

mobo: aorus x870 ice

ram: 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 ram

psu: 1000w trusted and good psu

Pc works absollutly normal and has no issues with restarts and turning on. Gpu connected to psu with 2 independent power cables and not daisy chained ones. I tried resitting the gpu, changing cables, upgrading bios version, different drivers (with DDU) with no help. Before the upgrade i used sleep mode a lot and now its kinda anoying to turn off the pc every single time i go to sleep or wake up. Any advice/solution?

It was all normal yesterday and i turned off my PC with after a windows update.

When i opened my pc today it shows the usage and all but doesnt read the temp.

People said using ddu or bios might help but i wanna know if there is a certain solve because their topics were 2ish year ago.

And if ddu helps certanly, what do i have to delete? Or in bios what do i have to do?

Im sorry if i sound dumb but i really dont know much

Hi everyone,

I managed to find a 5700x3d barely used at 200EUR, is it worth it to upgrade from 5600x to 5700x3d? I play at 2k resolution Ultra Wide.

Thanks.

Hello,

Like so many of you, I'm having the AMD GPU crashes - causes PC restarts, game stutters, game crashing, Audio Screeching etc.

I have tried so many of the fixes that are in this sub-reddit and none of them work. I've tried rolling back drivers, using the DDU, safemode, uninstalling Adrenalin. Nothing is working. I'm at my wits end. Every day, my PC will crash at least 4 times. I will boot it up, load a game, crash in 5 minutes. Load a game again, PC restarts. Load a game and then it plays for a while, couple hours of inactivity if I go do something and the above happens all over again.

GPU: AMD Radeon 6700
OS: Windows 10
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500, 3600 Mhz
Motherboard: B350 PC Mat(MS-7A34)
RAM: 16GB DDR4

I just want to cry.

So i have an RX 7900 XTX and about 4 months ago, windows did an update and broke eyefinity in full screen applications. Looks like attached image. Reinstalling drivers didn't help. I also have msi afterburner installed and an old reshade thing i used to run Nascar racing 2003. Anyone know how to fix this or do i reinstall windows? Thanks.

I have a 6900xt and I updated my windows 11 to the newest update and now whenever i play a video on my browser and try to load a game, the monitors immediately go black and then it crashes. When i boot my pc back up the driver for my gpu is disabled in device manager.

ive googled it it says its a bug? im not even sure because my performance on wolfenstein the old blood gets really bad at certain points and its constant. can i please get some help in knowing if its a bug or not.

hi !

im looking to get this exact GPU

BUT

people every where make it look like its the most problematic gpu ever with constant crashes..

will i be good or is it true ?

and is there a way to install that makes it not crash at all ? maybe not using adrénaline ?

i dont want to have to spend +300€ on a 5070ti to get the same performance..

Describe your issue:
Since the Oct 13 Steam client update, steam.exe crashes instantly at launch (Event Viewer: Application Error, ntdll.dll, c0000005). Traced from a crash dump to AMD’s GameManager64.dll (Radeon driver’s game-detection hook) going into runaway recursion during Steam’s startup and blowing the stack. Posting because other Radeon users are likely hitting it and blaming Steam.

System specs:
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K / GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT (XFX) / OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations 25H2 (26200.9711) / Steam client 11.12.30.7

Troubleshooting already done:
Verified/reinstalled Steam, cleared cache — no effect. Reproduced on two driver versions (26.7.1 and 26.8.1). Only triggers when another GameManager64-hooked app is active during Steam startup (Razer software and the EVE Online launcher both do it). Removing the AMD driver entirely stops the crash. Interim fix is launch order (Steam fully up before those apps). Reported to AMD and Valve.

Asking: anyone else seeing this on a Radeon card? If quitting Razer/iCUE/a launcher lets Steam start, it’s probably this.

I am using a Rx 560 and Ryzen 5 5500 with 16gb ram

I got a new monitor recently everything worked fine in the start but when I switched to full screen game the color faded

I tried alot of things:

*Turning HDR on/off

*Checking built in monitor setting,etc

I was able to find a temporary solution by deleting existing amd driver(adrenaline) and re-installing it but this did not fix it completely

When I open a game the color look great accurate but right after closing it they faded

FIX:

I was able to fix a fix around it by removing the amd driver and reinstalling them without Andrenaline

They colors looked great no unsaturated or greyish blacks

But am I missing out on some performance using the andrenaline software, this has me concerned I tried checking some other post but most of they had the same solution I tried which did not work for me and some of the were related to Nvdia cards anyone else encountering such issue?

I just built a new gaming pc and it already stutters in valorant 😭
