The AMD Driver Thread

So im noticing after living with my 6800XT for six months that in games, im getting a lot of stutter or frame spikes based on the game being fullscreen or windowed or borderless. Doesn't seem any pattern to it, one game works great fullscreen but not borderless but another game works great windowed but not fullscreen, interchange as you like, games seem random? Without doing an AMD/Nvidia thing i never had this problem on Nvidia? I love the performance of my 6800 but the drivers seem all over the place!

Well in order to try and figure out what could be the culprit we would need some information. It would be nice to know what CPU & Monitor you have, what OS version and build you are running, what games does what in certain screen modes, GPU drivers tried including sync options such as vsync, enhanced sync or adaptive sync are being used, and last but not least, If any 3rd party programs such as overlays or OC apps are being used. If any spot something I've missed please quote and add.
 
New ones seem pretty good.

Seen a 400 point firestrike increase with my undervolt enabled which is nice :)

Previous version seemed to have a lot more CPU data shown in the overlay. Shame that has gone back to just usage only
 
With Battlefield 2042 beta due to release tomorrow do i need a updated driver to play ? Is there any new driver being released for it i think nvidia have released a game ready driver !

Thanks

@AMD_Vik One of the fixes says "Some users may experience high idle memory clock speed values when two or more monitors are connected to their system." however the moment I turn on my 2nd monitor, even if I turn down the hz to 60 from 144, my 6900XT memory idle speeds jump to max and stay there. If I go to display settings and change to Only Show Monitor 1, the memory goes right back down to your "normal" idle speeds.
