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

Not had any issues worth commuting to memory with adrenaline but I’ve a mate had untold issues a couple of years back with a laptop - what’s mentioned in the op sounds somewhat similar. At the time neither he nor I could find anything worthwhile online about the issue so I think it ended up with the laptop being binned off for gaming - possibly one of those rare almost unique hardware/software issues that crop up.

I’d certainly not be put off an amd gpu by the software.

Thanks, from memory the laptops were the worst offenders, so maybe it was mainly that?
