They only release driver for the 7900 cards it would seem...

Are you waiting for them to fix some specific problems that you are experiencing?
I only make the point as we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that the more often a company releases driver updates, the better they are vs the company who release updates less frequently simply because they don't need to.

Makes sense given they're the ones that need the most attention atm with regards to issues.

I get
I get that but normally we'd get a universal driver with fixes for new cards and any other issues. Are the 7900 cards always going to have separate drivers?

6000-series support seems to have been ditched

Maybe they are ploughing all their resources into the 7 series issues6000-series support seems to have been ditched

Im just confused why they even do separate drivers for the 7x series, whats wrong with drivers being unified still?
Maybe they are ploughing all their resources into the 7 series issues
Thought everybody knew there is only one guy that works on the drivers
I'd imagine the chiplet setup of rdna 3 makes it very different in the driver department.
I would think it’s seen as a single unit just like the last gen from a software/driver point of view, maybe it has some extra functions but most chips are self-contained with regard to the inner hardware architecture, even at the driver level.
Which might make them different enough to have different packages vs unified.

It turns out this was nothing to do with drivers, or any problem with the GPU, in fact it is user fault, the thinking now is they are ex mining cards that have been stored incorrectly, IE they have been wet, all these cards can from the same customer who bought them in bulk from again the same person.
JayZ2cents is now pretending he didn't really say it was anything to do with drivers, in fact he is citing his own arse covering disclaimers that he thought it was strange that drivers could cause this and that the complaint was only from one hardware repare guy..... the fact that they are all from the same customer was not said by any of them, had it been it could have been dismissed out of hand, they knew that.
Did you give AMD the curtsey of talking to them first so they could tell there is no way drivers could cause die cracking? no, you didn't.
No Jay you absolutely jumped on the same bandwagon der8ouwer or whatever is name is jumped on.
DO NOT BUY EX-MING CARDS!!!!!!

Yes there was always more to this from the start but sadly drivers have damaged hardware before so was more of a heads up when I posted about it to let users know what was going round at the time about hardware they own. I'm happy to see it was not a general fault and just mistakes by a few people that were clearly miners and storing cards incorrectly. Well karma for the miners so no pity here sadly.
Also another miner game being played out on customers of their cards is this going round now too:-
Crypto Miners Paint GDDR Memory Chips to Hide Wear and Tear
With the once-lucrative business of cryptocurrency mining now slowly falling out of favor for discrete graphics, crypto miners are turning their heads to creative solutions to "refurbish" and sell their remaining inventory to third-party users. When GPU components, such as the die or GDDR...
People will learn to stay away from deals that seem to good to be true hopefully or make sure they buy things from reputable people.

Nope, they h
Worst thing about Jay was that he jumped on the bangwagon blaming drivers days after it was already known to be an isolated issue
