AMD Driver query?

[Space Monkey]

Hey guys,

I am toying with getting an AMD GPU, my last AMD desktop GPU was the 7970 & the W5700 but one thing I've always had issues with, whether it's desktop or laptop is the AMD drivers crashing, a common one I seem to experience is that when I try to open up the AMD adrenaline interference, I used to get this error:

The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver

Removing and reinstalling the drivers used to help for a bit but it would happen again and again.

Is this something that still happens?

I don't want to make this thread into a fanboy meltdown, I'm just trying to get some sensible answers from ones that are using AMD GPUs currently, positive and negative experiences welcome, so I can make an informed decision.

Thanks all

The only time that has happened to me is when Windows forcibly updated the driver through Windows update due to a new feature version (I believe it was 24H2). I had driver updates disabled, but Windows did it anyway and the launcher was left the old version.

No issues here. Went from a 3080 to a 9070XT. Other than the system tray icon I can’t tell the difference. Nvidia drivers tend to be worse now though. Oh how the turn tables.
