A few months ago I moved from team green to team red and while in general I'm happy with the cards performance, the driver issues I've been having are something different.
I've tried various online theories from registry changes, old drivers versions, wipe with DDU and reinstall, disabling XMP, deleting the profiles from Adrenaline and few other things and still just randomly out of the blue a game I'm playing will simply freeze, completely locking up the display and eventually resetting the display with a Driver Timeout Error.

Hardly ever had a crash before this on the old 3080Ti and and the GPU is the only thing I've changed.
Has anyone else had this problem and actually fixed it?

My last resort is a full Windows wipe but I really cba with that if I can avoid it.
 
What PSU are you using and are you overclocking or undervolting at all?

I've said it in a few threads now but personally, if I was swapping vendors (either way round) I'd be doing a fresh install. Too many niggles otherwise. But plenty get away with just a driver uninstall. I wouldn't do it, I'd want the peace of mind. Then if things go wrong you know you're on solid footing from an OS perspective.

As fraps says, what is your PSU? The 7900XTX needs more go go juice.
 
Thanks guys, not overclocked / undervolted at all everything totally stock. The only thing I've done is apply the XMP profile in the bios on the ram.
PSU is a Corsair RM1000x.

PSU sounds fine, what’s the rest of the system specs and are you using three separate PCIE cables?
 
Specs in sig yes and using separate cables as I'd read a while back using the daisy style ones is not recommended.

Sorry, I’m out so using my phone right now and can’t see any sigs. Are you on the latest adrenaline drivers and what specific game was it that was causing the crashes?
 
No worries fella.
Its made up of a 5700x3D, a Gigabyte X570, and some 32gb (2x16gb) Corsair 3600mhz

Didnt know if I was actually but just checked and yes I am, looks like a full wipe maybe required I suspect.

Does look like it unfortunately, are the card temps ok? And what games does the driver timeouts happen on?

CPU degradation?

I hope not, I dont mess around with anything these days and the crashes started literally the same day I installed the AMD card.
On the 3080Ti I'd not had a crash in months that wasnt Windows update related or game bug caused.
 
if you have a spare drive i would install a fresh copy of windows on it. You could also try furmark for about 15 mins to see if that generates a time out.
 
@Columbo , have you checked event viewer to see if there any additional details in there? It's unlikely you'll see anything useful but it could help rule out a CPU WHEA error, for example. Seems unlikely to be anything but the GPU though.

Have you tried rolling back to an older driver?
