The AMD Driver Thread

Scougar said:
Well got delivered today and had 5 mins to test it after i i got the AMD card uninstalled. The 2060 is working great so far on the very short test of apex legends training area. For 230 USD all in, i am very pleased so far. Plus i feel that this is something i didnt didnt mysf in the foot if AMD announce a reasonable RT card or Nvidia get more serious with their RTX performance as well.

and here we go.... "dxgi_error_device_hung the applications device failed due to badly formed command sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed"

Let's all remember that Nvidia doesn't have issues lol. (I see that going back to a VERY old driver might resolve it. hmm 417, current is 442.)

Here is first-hand experience of someone using a 2060 KO within 24 hours experience problems. This person was kind enough to report this in this very forum.

It goes to show you how emotional some are trying to perpetuate the claim of AMD drivers only. But like I said it's only a few attention-seekers trying to perpetuate this falsehood. I pity them. Apparently they have nothing else better to do. While I've been using some of my spare time playing the games I enjoy.

Never a truer word spoken. I would sometimes mine on my equipment, if the miner file is updated - the dev toolkits and libraries change too i.e. nvidia cards have CUDA files. The core+mem settings etc can get affected so what was stable in the past may not be until you verify the configs properly.

Windows and device drivers are the same. You are always preached to update your software all the time to fix bugs or protect against vulnerabilities. Sadly all these software tweaks come at a price, which is why you should always have a stable copy backed up.

Owning graphics cards is hard work, overclocking them is an effort on another level. But the challenge is what makes it fun and why we keep buying and tweaking. We'd be bored just playing games :D

Many in here do not want to touch the subject "Nvidia forums" or "Nvidia reddit", even the least fanatic NV parts of this community.
That there is still ongoing thread since September 2016 in NV forum, of thousands of pages long, with the lack of sound over DP on many 144hz monitors. Forcing the owners of these monitors to reduce them to 100hz to get sound over DP. I was one of those also having this issue with MSI GTX1080 Armor (2016) and Aorus GTX1080Ti Xtreme (2017-18).
While same monitor had no issue with NV drivers prior to September 2016 (GTX1080) and neither had with FuryX (2015 when got it), Vega 64 and 5700XT.

Also the majority has forgotten that during the first two weeks of October 2016, took 7 driver releases within the span of that period to fix animated GIFs on Nvidia cards. We couldn't browse twitter or FB without the system outright crashing because of some animated GIF tried to render.
Yet still even today. A visit on NV Forums and NV reddit is packed with people having driver issues. But thats a "non issue" apparently. Neither was the "space invaders" having people even in this forum having RMA multiple times their Turing cards in 2018.

Yet I am called a fanboy liar when saying that experienced no issue with the 5700XT AE since got it in July. Or the card doesn't have fan noise. Just the usual movement of air you hear from cards like the GTX1080Ti Xtreme.
 
I have a 1080ti and yes there has been some wired issues although most are windows 10 related which i think AMD suffer from as well but most folk want to jump on the AMD drivers are garbage bandwagon.

My previous AMD cards were fine on 7 and 8 but since 10 things are much more interesting......even with an Nvidia card.
 
Now that is more realistic and demonstrates the playing field. If people who have bought nvidia all their life sticking with the wifes tail that AMD/ATi are always the poor mans alternative, no wonder they have the RMA form partially filled out before they give it a chance. Stupid stereotypes and fake news massages the brain into thinking it was a wise decision to stick with the same old.
 
@Panos
You have to remember, these individuals are trying push a narrative/agenda and have "pound the table" when countered on their logical fallacies and deceit.

However, RTG will be releasing a driver soon. I read sometime this week. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade right away or not. It will depend on what the release notes say.

Yeah. Is funny, many listened to someone's crazy advice and downgraded to W7. Miraculously no black screens on their 5700XT, with the same drivers.
Ofc people mock the move from W10 to 7, but that means the underlying issue isn't the drivers per se, but something to do with windows.
FYI on Linux there are no reported black screens, or other issues with Navi cards.

Very interesting!

The point is that there aren't any with W7 either. Even people who had issues with W10 tried W7 and they are now fine.
So given the drivers are the same, something else is the underlying issue.

Again referring to people who genuinely had issues with their cards and no other explanation was possible since everything else was eliminated.

And also pointing again. Haven't seen on reddit anyone reporting genuine issues with Intel/X570/TR40/399 motherboards. B350/450 are the significant majority.

That's exactly what I've been trying to get across in this latest round of driver bashing. Windows 10 has been a nightmare for both nVidia and AMD. Gsync and Freesync has been broken and at the same time in the past. Other issues like black screen have been common on both brands yet it is NOT Microsoft that's under the microscope.

I guess it is just easier for some people to point fingers. I certainly understand if a "non savvy tech person" complains as they don't understand nor have the mindset required to be investigative in this matter and really they shouldn't have to be. But I expected more from the press and some enthusiasts. Guess I am a fool then.
