The AMD Driver Thread

I keep getting driver timeout errors on my 7900GRE and have a white light on my motherboard which means a gpu fault but it seems to be working fine. I am on the latest drivers for everything. What could be going on here?
 
Is there a "best" version of the driver at the minute or should I just get the latest?

I'm on slightly older drivers and wonder if I should update because in Black Ops 6 it doesn't render the gun (at least in the benchmark) and it also gets really bad FPS (even lowering settings and enabling FSR didn't increase the framerates).

What driver you using? 24.10.1 is when official support was added for Black Ops 6. :)

24.3.something or maybe 24.4.something
Updated to the latest drivers and can confirm the gun is now displaying!

Re-ran the benchmark and still getting awful FPS though.
Which I tracked down to it being that Radeon Chill was kicking in during the benchmark run and my FPS was dropping to the minimum value set.
 
So I made a separate thread asking about drivers settings, thinking it might get lost in this huge thread... but instead it looks like the thread is getting ignored :cry:

Appreciate if any of you guys could take a gander please!

 
So it turns out my 7900XTX instability issue, Black screen reboot when a sufficient load was put on it, Was all down to my PSU cables.

I have the official Corsair ShiftX after market braided/sleeved replacement kit, Out of curiosity I swapped out just the GPU cables for the stock ones and problem solved.

@AMD_Vik Apologies to AMD for blaming your drivers :D

I've never RMA'd cables before, Should be fun XD

I'm not surprised. It was Corsair cables that melted when my old Vega 64 decided to pull a bit of power. It's certainly not the first place you go look. Glad you found out what was causing you problems.

Yeah i think mainly for final fantasy release just to have something out, proper driver who knows when it will be out, if its march for the new cards that seems a bit too long for a driver release since last proper, vs nvidias releases i think.
