The AMD Driver Thread

I got directed to that link by the driver, I've tried a few of the steps. Namely removing all the old C++ redists (a few had Chinese/Japanese descriptions/uninstall menus... which was weird?!) and ran the various DISM and SFC commands. Dism found and fixed something, although I didn't fancy trawling through the logs to see what. After a reboot the driver was installed ok, despite the error.
Initially fired up HZD to be greeted with with an even more annoying glitch than previously. Rather than shaking trees/ropes, I had constant hud flickering and black frames. Jumped to another game for a bit with no issues, then back to HZD and it was ok again.
Fingers crossed it's sorted itself out!

Hopefully that’s sorted it.
 
Does anybody know a fix for the driver timeout error?
Playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands I get this error all the time. Last night was 4 times in about 30 minutes. I ended up rage quitting in the end.
I have tried the latest drivers and rolled back to previous but still no good.
Running a 5700XT with an undervolt but also tried default settings also

Is your card overclocked?

This might be worth taking a look at:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-800
 
Also mentions Corrupted Windows® registry or system files in that link, so perhaps a quick run of SFC /scannow (elevated as admin) might be in order (as well as DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth). That'll help rule out local system corruption.

I used to get this a lot, Started installing the driver only option for the drivers and using MSI afterburner to manage clocks and a fan curve that keeps GPU Mem temp under 80. Additionally, limiting frame rate to 60fps seems to help too - it definitely feels less stable the higher the FPS.

I'm currently running the card at 2050/1850@1120mv on the 22.4.1 drivers and its fairly stable.

Still get the odd crash here or there, but I suspect it's more related to rubbish RAM tbh.

Are you using a TV for a monitor by any chance?
If so reducing the colour profile to YCbCR 4:4:4 stops the timeouts.

Personally I had to revert to driver 21.10.2 to fix the timeouts on my LG C1.

Two new sets of drivers out today! :eek:

Standard release with support for the new 6X50 cards and another with a couple of new features.
RSR sharpness slider, DX11 optimisations for 6000 series cards and SAM improvements for a couple of games.
 
With the latest AMD beta drivers, is the RTX 3080 still ahead of the RX 6800XT (on average) in DX11 games?

Is it a small difference, or actually noticeable?

EDIT - Now that I think about it, the ray tracing performance is still going to be worse...

I tried the preview driver on my VR sim rig and got a strobe (flicker?) effect in my Reverb G1. -Submitted a bug report and hope they can fix it quickly. The older driver wrks fine, but I would like some of that free performance boost in VR.
