The AMD Driver Thread

yeah its a nightmare
ive got the issue that my card has 2 hdmi and 2 dp and my monitors have different refresh rates available over the two connection types so ive either got to replace one of the screens and run a mismatched set and also id have to find one that worked well with the other two so kinda a tricky situation hence why i bought a second gpu
turns out that buying a second expensive gpu might not have actually fixed the issue and might have just added a second problem lol
wouldnt be so bad if the fans on the gpu ramped up when the vram gets hot but it doesnt if the actual gpu temp is not reporting high it wont ramp the fans up
so the only other work around is to just set the fans flat out at all times which well is loud to say the least
bit of a headache this one lol

I've got 2 4K 120Hz monitors and VRAM isn't running at full speed but it is higher than I'd like (for example my 7900 XT idles with the memory running at 909MHz).
Doesn't seem to matter which connections I use either. Happens on both my 7900XT and my 9070XT.

I did find on my 7900XT that if I set one monitor to be 120Hz and the other to be 60Hz it drops the memory clock right down to low double digits. However I think if I restart Windows with those settings it goes back to 909MHz (or possibly then runs at 100%, I don't remember).
 
When running multiple displays, if refresh rates are all the same but still getting higher memory clocks, go into Settings > Display, check all displays have Freesync/VRR enabled, this is how I get my 4 displays at 144Hz running low clocks, below 100 for memory.

same with 2 screens [running at the same refresh rate] im seeing around 900mhz as soon as i turn on a screen thats at a different refresh rate it pins it to flat out max speed
it does this with just 2 screens if they are at different refreshes, also my screens dont seem to want to do vrr over hdmi which makes it even harder lol

Yeah VRR is enabled for both my screens, doesn't help.

Pssoibly higher resolutions cause the higher clocks like above 1440p.. I tested my 4 all at 1440p using VSR (native is 1080p) and was still getting lower clocks.

Three of my displays are the exact same model and the fourth is same but with 165Hz refresh rate that I set to 144Mhz to match the others.

Wonder if mixing brands causes this? What do you have regarding brand and Resolution?
 
So last night I updated to 25.11.1 and wow what a ballache.. driver software wouldnt show up, was getting errors but now I see the issue with not installing the combi driver as I was using the iGPU on my 7800X3D, now disabled that. Also they broke OpenGL in the 25.xx.x drivers..

Reddit - The heart of the internet

www.reddit.com www.reddit.com

So I wasted over an hour of my time trying to fix something that really should not have happened in the first place :rolleyes:

AMD need to do better testing and be more informative about whats going on with these new drivers instead of forcing us to go through some trial and error BS :mad:

Anyway I ended up having to use DDU (something I really dont like to run on my PC) and roll back to 25.9.1 which is all good again so far.

Was all running like a dream coming back to AMD and then 5 mnoths in, this happens :(

AMD.. Be Better! Dont make me switch to a 5070Ti.. :eek: :p :cry:

Same, I had everything working perfectly with my iGPU and 9070XT then this. I have been using AMD drivers for at least the last 5 years and this is the first real issue I have had, hopefully resolved quickly !!

Sorry @AMD_Vik but are you able to confirm you have sight of this bug internally ? See my post and MyBrainz.

yup, discussing this on a call right now. we have an engineering ticket, which means this has been reproduced internally. Thank you for pointing this out

for whomever brought this up, we also have a ticket for the Star Citizen anticheat exception issue

Nice, thank you :)
 
@AMD_Vik I hope they're going to fix the OpenGL issue, in Second Life, avatar skins have a shimmering shadowy flickering on skin textures in recent 25.x.x drivers, it looks terrible. I've had to roll back to 25.9.1 :(

Thank you.
I'm still running Star citizen on 25.9.1.
I take it 25.11.1 also doesn't work for it?
It's been a problem since the windows update. Some people find that vulkan works

Correct. hopefully this is addressed in the next release.

Not in DX mode no.

You can run 25.11.1 if you install the Vulkan SDK and run the game in Vulkan mode.

Update your driver

Download and install this. https://www.geeks3d.com/dl/show/10160 just as it comes, no need to set anything up or check boxes.

You will not be able to set Vulkan mode in the options menu because the game will not launch, so here is how you get around that.

In windows explorer enable show hidden files, navigate to C:\Users\COMPUTER NAME\AppData\Local\star citizen

In there you should find a folder called something like 'starcitizen_(sc-alpha-4.3.2)_cc9wt_0' in it navigate to graphics settings and open the JSON in notepad, the string that says "GraphicsRenderer": 0 change the 0 to a 1, save it

Now the game should launch in Vulkan mode from the game launcher.

The reason you have to do all this is because Vulkan is also broken on the AMD driver with Star Citizen, installing the Vulkan SDK somehow fixes it.

I cant actually show you as I rolled back, wish I had made a video now.

Other complaint here..

Some say OpenGL info is wrong in GPU Z and some have 'Not Available' like here..

Somebody at AMD must have a Second Life account they can log into and go to a club and look at the avatar skins while running latest driver surely? :)

AMD FSR "Redstone" Is Coming - December 10th​

:eek:

Exciting times. :cool:

So to recap we should be seeing:
  1. Neural Radiance Caching - ML model which learns light behaviour and predicts the scenes for efficient real-time global illumination.
  2. ML Ray Regeneration - ML model which is trained on noisy low-sampled renders to predict and filter grainy noise in real time. This should offer sharper visuals.
  3. ML Super Resolution - ML to reconstruct low-res visuals for upscaled images.
  4. ML Frame Generation - ML adds new fake frames for higher performance.
