The AMD Driver Thread

what 2 psus have you tried model etc? could it be that the psu are fine with the 4060ti as it has a lower wattage requirement and the 7900xt its just too much for them? could also try looking at the psu rails in hwifo specifically in the mobo section 3v/3.3v/5v and 12v, don't run cod, but check at idle are they close to the ratings (i.e is the 12v rail within 10% of 12v etc)? try the running another lower demanding game, check them again are they still close to the ratings? after having a psu that could not provide the correct voltages close to the rails, its one of the things i usually check now when it comes to gpu crashing although in my experience that issues causes a full system reset and not a crash but you never know and wouldn't loose anything but time.

edit: worth checking swapping the gpu as it will potentially eliminate things like cpu etc, when you swapped from the 4060 to 7900 did you a run DDU and fully nuke the nvidia drivers? most peopl,e say you dont need to bother now, but it is worth doing as it gives you more of a clean start than just an uninstall.

Corsair AX1200 and a Superflower Leadex Platinum 1200W.
Didn't swap from the 4060Ti exactly, this was a rebuild that re-used some parts but it was a fresh windows install.
 
Tested a couple more games this evening. PUBG seems to have the same issue but it recovers better, screens go black but then the game comes back on.
Also tried Subnautica, doesn't seem to trigger as consistently as Black Ops 6, but it did seem to happen.

I've run the CPU and RAM in a different PC before this and didn't notice these issues, so I'm thinking it must be either the GPU or the motherboard (not sure why the motherboard would cause this, but it's one of the only new parts of the build).

does sound like the gpu to be fair. i think you may have gotten unlucky and probably got a really bad bin and its simply not stable at stock settings.

Just downloaded direct from AMD and installed. Two "issues":

1. Running up the .exe doing a normal "default" installation. Click the red button that says "Accept & Custom Install" and the installer just closes. Instead, I have to go into "Customise" and click the red button that now says "Accept & Install". Installation then begins as normal.
2. I now appear to have this "AMD XConnect Technology" system tray agent. What is this and why has it now appeared? I have no external GPU, and the iGPU on my CPU is disabled in the BIOS. How do I remove it?

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Thanks.

not got this upgrading via the amd driver directly from the previous version.
 
Explains why my overclock reset. Didn’t even realise it had auto updated.

All ok - but anyone know why when updating it freezes at 51% (or maybe 55%) requiring a re boot ( after which it does appear to have installed the new driver and runs ok) ?

Ever since switching to a 9070 XT a couple of weeks ago the record feature in Adrenalin has rarely worked. I did a clean install today and after setting everything up it was still broken. I went back through all the settings I changed and I think I found the culprit, after re-enabling Windows exploit protection settings it started working. I've had all the exploit protection settings disabled for a couple of years after finding that they were causing random crashing in MW2.
 
@Firegod I downloaded the driver straight from AMD's website using the link above and haven't had those issues nor that Xconnect thingy. Things seems to work fine for the moment on my end. You sure you got the correct driver package?

Since installing the latest (25.5.1), Adrenalin doesn't seem to be able to see CPU temp or load any more for performance monitoring or the overlay display - anyone else seeing this? (9070XT with a 9800X3D if that makes any difference)

ive found two things with the newer [optional i think] drivers
1] as above it does seem to undervolt a little bit better
but
2] if i try to oc my vram i can now not get much pa st 2528 [so 10mhz over stock] without instant pc freeze then im suddenly at the windows login screen lol the moment you click on apply settings it ust crashes even with only 10mhz overclock but it seems to take the undervolt significantly better so swings and roundabouts
also seem to have an issue with the mouse on multiple monitors if i go up from the bottom left the pointer appears on the far top right instead of left screen and when i move the pointer back down it again appears in an odd place on the wrong screen
which weirdly has kept me entertained for a couple of days now i really need to get a life but this has literally had me rolling about laughing for days

Yeah I've lost most of the CPU overlay stats. I think the only one it shows now is CPU utilisation.

It's also missing CPU info completely from the tuning tab in the adrenalin software.
 
While I wait for a GPU block for a 9070xt I am still using a 6800xt and I just rolled back to 25.12.1 because of display corruption after the monitor goes to sleep.
 
i was wondering how long until someone puts a 9070 on liquid be interesting to hear how that turns out i imagine really well though
and also have missing things on the tuning screen didnt notce until i read about it above but i can confirm i also have missing parts on that screen

Thanks! So this is the one I downloaded:

whql-amd-software-adrenalin-edition-25.5.1-win10-win11-may8-rdna.exe

It's no biggy - I just turned off the startup of the applet via ccleaner. So it doesn't bug me at least. :) I'll see what happens next time.

Cheers.
