I get it, with BF1 (one of the few games I play regularly). Crashes to desktop. I reinstalled windows and did a fresh driver run this morning to see if it helped. I also turned off every extra in the drivers such as Radeon anti lag.

try factory uninstalling the current driver either via the amd driver or with ddu and starting again. has helped me in the past.

keep an eye on it appears to randomly disable itself for me, noticed it a few times whilst gaming.

My Wattman profile is resetting itself every couple of reboots. Mine only started doing it since 20.12.1.

Mine eventually stopped doing it, no idea why though, just kept reapplying it. Definitely some weirdnes going off.

Perhaps do an integrity check on the game files too just in case.

On 12.1 my main monitor resolution keeps resetting from 1440p to 720p with no way to change it back. It doesnt do it every boot but forces me to reinstall drivers to get in back to normal. Anyone else having this issue?

(thanks @LtMatt for the tip)

My 6800XT should be with me tomorrow. I have a 1080Ti installed, have done for many years. Is it reasonable to use something like DDU to clean out the Nvidia stuff before moving over to the AMD install and 20.12.2 install....?

Thanks

Yup, best to DDU when changing GPU vendor.

Thanks. Will do. See it has a "Clean and shutdown" function

Got a weird issue - I can't get my AMD Radeon Software Centre to load.

Windows 10, 5700XT, Adrenalin 2020 20.11.2 version. Tried uninstall, reboot, reinstall, still wont load. Tried rolling back to the non beta version that comes packaged with it and November release... still wont load.

When I say it wont load, right click on the desktop and clicking "AMD Radeon Software" gets me a nice loading icon on my cursor, but then after a few seconds that stops and nothing ever appears. Same response if I try to load from the start menu.

Any idea what on earth I've done? was working perfectly a couple of days ago.

Why this particular old version? Can't you download the latest https://www.amd.com/en/support/grap...d-radeon-rx-5700-series/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt, but before then uninstall with DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

I've seen that behavior when pushing the overclocking a bit too far. There's about 3 processes that run which need to be closed before reloading the Software Centre will work.

If this is happening after restarts then perhaps suggest a dodgy profile hasn't been removed and causing instability or the card is on its way to failure. Could be a power thing, try pulling the card and re-seat it and the connectors.

That has worked perfectly - thank you

Never overclocked, but thank you for the feedback

Anyone know if there is a shortcut key to toggle the Metric Overlay when playing games..? Not the ALT + R key combo for the full overlay but just for the Metric.

A pity that you can't add other items to it, then again that is what AB, RTSS and HWinfo is for I suppose.

Check the Hotkeys sub menu. Default is Ctrl+Shift+O I believe.
