The AMD Driver Thread

When i had the vega56 i once updated a driver without ddu and the whole desktop (not gaming, but just windows desktop) was artifacting badly i couldnt navigate to shut the pc down iirc and had to try somehow to get into safe mode, i think i managed somehow but forgot how but after a ddu then install drivers it was fine.

Tbh had nowt but trouble with the vega, glad when i moved to the 6700xt, it was miles better.

My Vega 56 was absolutely perfect and as is my 6700xt so i think its just the silicon lottery again
 
Well my new card was due to be delivered today and we would've been closer to determining if the issue really was the drivers or GPU. However, I've unfortunately found myself in hospital with appendicitis, so it'll have to wait.

I have to say, it's the first time I've had driver problems as bad as this and that includes old gen ATI, STB/3DFX and Diamond cards.

Man what a rubbish weekend that turned out to be :/.

Hopefully you get better quickly and you have your 4090 waiting for you to look forward to at least.
 
I remember they didn't release any updated drivers for 6000 series for quite awhile when 7000 series was launched probably had whatever they had focusing on it still no fsr 3 ? Still idle power issue with multiple displays since release

are you using onboard igpu for 2nd display if not for gaming so the power draw might go back to normal on the gpu? Tho my 6700xt still has issues at 75hz (nvidia never had a issue iirc) and im sure they fixed power idle draw in vega56 once with a driver.

Some specific build of driver for dx12 stuff, no idea if driver is ok for normal use tho, found it through a article here:

Microsoft DX12 Agility SDK update to speed up GPU ML-applications and AV1 encoding - VideoCardz.com

Agility SDK update: Work Graphs, Wave Matrix, AV1 encoding Microsoft releases a preview of Agility SDK 1.711.3, which adds powerful tools for developers. Software developers will now be able to take advantage of work graphs, a function that will enable asynchronous shader utilization. This will...

Highlights​

Support for:

GPU Work Graphs (GWG)​

  • GPU Work Graphs (GWG) or Work Graphs allow the GPU to schedule and control its own work generation without requiring a round trip back to the CPU and the overhead involved with additional dispatches while simplifying typical GPU programming paradigms on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics cards.
  • See additional details, and how-to here

GPU Upload Heaps​

  • Driver support to allow shared access of the GPU’s VRAM by both the CPU and GPU using the VRAM Resizable Base Address Register (REBAR). See Agility SDK 1.710.0 for additional details and downloads usable with this driver.

Known Issues​

  • Certain virtual reality games or applications may encounter suboptimal performance or occasional stuttering on Radeon™ RX 7000 series GPUs.
  • Intermittent application crash or light corruption may occur when using Blender™.
  • Intermittent system freeze or instability after driver timeout recovery while using certain GPU Work Graphs. Application developers should be vigilant about ensuring not to send more output records specified by MaxRecords() for the output. Exceeding this record will result in driver instability until the system is restarted.
  • CPU hang may be observed when using DispatchGraph. Application developers must limit the strides of their CPU input records and CPU input streams to 4096 bytes when calling DispatchGraph(). When using single node CPU input, the field “RecordStrideInBytes” must be 4096 bytes or less. When using multi-node CPU input, the field “NodeInputStrideInBytes” must be 4096 bytes or less. A CPU hang may result if these strides are not set accordingly.
  • Intermittent application crash may be observed when playing Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition™ on some hybrid graphics notebooks.

Why haven't they fixed this yet? As a VR user myself I'd would imagine it's really putting some people off buying AMD cards who otherwise might consider them strong contenders.

@LtMatt if I recall correctly, you're an AMD guy aren't you? What are they playing at not fixing this yet?
