The AMD Driver Thread

You do need to, because the windows are crap. Same applies to Nvidia drivers between major updates

OK, I just did the safe mode DDU, dont know if it made a difference yet, will test it.

So you've had the fix pointed out to you but you refuse to try it? Stop whingeing then. Happy xmas.

It's not a fix, it's a workaround at best. I work as a programmer, if my software needed third party software to install/uninstall I would get fired. Pointing out a problem is not whingeing.

Why you use Windows and not Linux then? That is the culprit responsible not the AMD or the Nvidia drivers devs.

Also you do need 3rd party software to create the package to install/uninstall safely the applications you develop. (and don't change the subject if you are doing only web stuff).

And you know full well, if one of the requirements was a third party library like a specialized version of .NET Framework, you leave it there and not trying to remove it due to the complexities that would create in the user environment by forcibly removing something that might be needed by another application.

Consider also what would happen if you try to uninstall an application that is already running, with thousands of registry keys and services still active. Do you trust windows to do a good job, especially if that is hardware drivers with all their different access levels and restrictions?

Because that's what we talking about this here.

It did not fix it. If a third party app can uninstall the drivers then AMD can although the safe mode with unplugged network seem crazy. I have used AMD cards for many years and using DDU has never helped, it might help, I just never experienced it even when having problems, its just something people recommend. I would use it if I switched from AMD to NV or vice versa but that's about it.
 
Anyone else also having problems with Hz reverting back to 60 when running games with these drivers? :/

I have it set to 160hz in RDR2 but it keeps running at only 60.

The drivers is woeful, have to manually load profile everytime start computer and software hard crashes after closing out of games have to manually killl all processes in task manager. Tempted to revert back to previous drivers.

Yea I'm going to revert back. These new 2020 drivers are ****.

EDIT: reverted back. Refresh problem fixed...

I have been having the same issues, Constant crashes with these drivers BSODs (at least a dozen), now just to top things off the latest crash has resulted in a firmware corruption on an SSD and i have lost a drive. Hoorah for quality control.
 
19.12.2 was stable with a 5700 XT I messed with. Keep an eye on temps, these things can get hot especially inside cases not on open-air test benches where we see all the benchmarks done. Undervolting is good.

How did that corrupt your firmware on your SSD? Tho with saying that I exited a game and my driver crashed and now Ive somehow lost a monitor.
 
I have no idea, it may be unrelated but everything has been rock solid until I installed these WHQL drivers then I get no display then a crash later or a bsod. I can only assume that during one of the crashes the drive was doing something like garbage collection and death has occurred.
