Thanks for the advice - have updated and all good (Except for fact that when installing it gets to 55% and then stops - in fact it has not but it says so!)

Driver update method. - Not had any issues until last 2 updates and did not cause any real issues. Will go the DDU route next time 
No need to DDU anything. Just uninstall normally and if you want to step it up a notch then uninstall the driver through device manage(remember to wing off the check box to delete the driver) and then uninstall rest per usual. DDU should be saved for, in my opinion, when you have problems that don't want to go away after doing things the regular way.

Download the driver, Run it, Click "Factory Reset/Clean Install" and hit Install. Really don't need to DDU with these.

Or just download over the top and reboot, and it'll keep your Adrenaline settings intact as @Dicehunter way will scrub any saved Adrenaline settings.:thumbsup:
Absolutely this. DDU has its place for a proper clean install to troubleshoot tricky issues but only as a last resort. Just overwrite your existing drivers for both AMD and Nvidia and they keep your settings.
If you are coming from Nvidia more often than not you have a 3rd party OC tool such as Afterburner. Get shot of it totally, no ifs buts or maybes. It’s a useless tool for AMD and totally outclassed by Adrenalin. It exists because the Nvidia driver toolset is woefully limited. DDU does not remove these.
Had so many people run afoul of some 3rd party toolset trying to load an old Nvidia profile in their new AMD GPU. Then they blame AMD for their unstable system. Then you find out they ran DDU but left their old Rivatuner or Afterbutner app installed “cus nostalgia reasons”.
When swapping GPU vendor
1. Uninstall current GPU drivers
2. Uninstall any 3rd party GPU tuner/OC apps
3. Shutdown PC
4. Physically swap GPU in your motherboard
5. Boot up windows and install new GPU drivers.
Hey can you elaborate on this? Is this under a specific scenario in chrome, like with video playback? Does the same occur in Firefox?
By crashes, are you talking about Chrome CTDs, TDRs, system crashes? Do you have any dmp or log files pertaining to these?

This started recently for me after updating the v24.8.1. Will be updating just to prevent it occurring (not hugely annoying, but still).
Soldato
It was a bug in that version.
Done that with my 7900xtx since I bought it in October last year, not a single issue.
Soldato
The only time I ever run DDU is if I'm going from a beta driver, Which isn't widely publicly available anyway, To a public release driver to avoid any possible incompatibilities.
We have a ticket queued to the Vulkan team for rendering defects in this game on the 24.20-based drivers, I'm guessing this could be related
Any future game supported going to be add for Throne and Liberty? Noticted Nvidia have it already
Soldato
Just discovered that VRR was disabled for some reason. I haven’t manually adjusted it, so wonder if this driver has messed with it.
Soldato
An issue I've had for the last few updates is that if I enable adaptive sync/Freesync globally in the Display section I get random slow down in games but if I disable it globally and only enable it on a per game basis in the Gaming section I get no weird slow down.

Mine still seems to be enabled if it helps. Hasn't become disabled. I went from 24.8.1 to 24.9.1 straight over the top.
I have just tried free-roam and it looks correct so it could be a seasonal affect that they add sometimes, don't no why they would add this though?
How does this look if you revert yo 24.8.1 out of curiosity?I have just tried free-roam and it looks correct so it could be a seasonal affect that they add sometimes, don't no why they would add this though?
