my Sapphire 5700xt nitro+ SE just hates my asus essence stx II card. Black screen most times, removing it now only crashes every few days but i miss the sound quality. Will try drivers etc again at somepoint to see if there is a fix but honestly im just fed up. Spent far to long trying to get card to behave. When it works, yes great fast, good for VR but then sound goes, pc locks up and meh.

Not sure about you guys, but updated to Mays Adrenalin drivers and my system became incredibly unstable, had to rollback to Aprils. So I'll be skipping Mays completely.

Just bought a Gigabyte 5700XT so is all the driver problems with the May drivers but the April ones are okay ?
Caporegime
I've had very solid stability and good performance with April drivers. I normally update each month and keep the previous months .exe just in case. I installed Mays drivers. Then the witcher 3 became unplayed. The adrenalin software kept defaulting to OVERCLOCKED vram settings which was ballsing up the stability and I couldnt even open a web browser without the machine dying. So I rollback to April and all is well again with the world
BTW if you can't get it but want the April driver exe I can host it for you.

I might need you to host Aprils driver as well.

I love the 5700xt and AMD as a company. But how they have THIS many issues with drivers that the user base need to take these kind of precautions is a downright shame.

Thank you!
As I'm new to AMD GPU's do their drivers give you the option to 'clean install' or am I better off manually removing every trace of 20.4.2 before installing Aprils driver?
Caporegime
Just run the exe with the existing one there then give it a reboot. You'll be fine
(Well, I was!
)What drivers for the Asus essence stx II are you using? if from the Asus support site try google Xonar UNI and choose the link to the MaxedTech site.
Use the factory reset in the driver setup and don't keep user settings when installing a new driver. Installing over has some reports of causing trouble. I've encountered it myself, once. Factory Reset hasn't failed on me yet.

I didn't know this but its what I'll do if I have any further issues, thank you!
I really don't understand how AMD's drivers can still be this garbage after making graphics cards for so long.
I have a laptop connected to my monitor via HDMI, and my 5700XT connected via DP. When I switch to the laptop on the monitor and then switch back to the PC, I get a black screen which means I have to hard power down the PC and boot it up again.

Same set up here, on latest drivers but no issue. I switch between laptop with HDMI and Desktop via display port all the time whilst working from home.
I would suggest trying a different Display Port cable or holding win, ctrl, shift + B key to reset the gpu driver.

I just switched to the 20.5.1 drivers and tested it very briefly. I was able to switch between the two inputs successfully but let's see how long it lasts.

Thank you
Thank you
obviously I can't link where to get it, but I'm sure you found it hehe

I didn't have any issues in previous drivers either, that's the biggest problem with the drivers atm, for most they work fine, but they are inconsistent.
Soldato
yes just googled the whole text and got there

It seems to be a real shame with regards to the drivers and the RX 5700XT, it seems to be a great value card, totally spoiled by the lack of peace of mind of good solid drivers....
