The AMD Driver Thread

iCUE in general is an issue, poo software.

Since I stopped using it all my AMD driver issues have completely gone.
A while back I bought a Corsair keyboard and mouse, so I sort of need iCue. If I'd have known at the time I probably wouldn't have bothered.

Mind you in fairness I imagine it's largely the same with the software that comes with pretty much all hardware.

I wonder if it is impacted by motherboards and or just quality of drivers it has to interact with? Like I say, been fine here with my 6900 and Asrock board. But perhaps some weird combinations just don't play well with it. We're sitting here blaming iCUE and it could be because of xyz driver or hardware implementation from a motherboard maker. I mean I don't feel for example the iCUE software is as bad as some of the ASUS rubbish.

I agree. I've never had a problem with NZXT's CAM software but a lot of people have issues with it causing instability and the like. The PC space is impossible to cater for every single possible combination of hardware/software.
 
I know this is a year old


But finally this issue got solved for them with Gears 5 and I thought I'd update just incase anyone else in future is looking or having a similar issue.

Apparently the cause was 3rd party anti-virus. He had been using a 3rd party one for years (Avast with shared data opted out), just out of habit as it used to be decent and Windows Defender wasn't great to start with. Anyway, uninstalled it for something else and to give windows defender a try and well that fixed Gears 5 (and Gears Tactics).

The games folders were an exception and it had been disabled fully when troubleshooting originally, but apparently "disabled" doesn't mean disabled anymore. 100% Avast as nothing changed between Gears 5 running awful and running fine other than getting rid of Avast.
