Was testing HD2 last night and still ran into one crash.

Going to run another test today but in DX11 more and not 12.

**update** Crash is due to using the Arc thrower in game its a known bug introduced with last patch.

What's the difference between installed drivers? Funny I was just looking around the AMD Support page the other day and downloaded AMD Cleanup Utility. Maybe I ought to run it

 

[Makaveli]

What's the difference between installed drivers?

What do you mean here?

which driver?

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I'm not sure what they mean by 'For users who previously installed an AMD Software preview driver' I normally just update through Adrenaline and have never used that utility.

they mean if you install a beta driver.

I normally do my upgrades through the Adrenaline software also but once I've done say maybe 6-7 of those I will eventually use DDU and do a fresh one. so atleast twice a year I do that I don't like updating on top for like a year straight and prefer to clean it out every 6 months or so.

Is the AMD Cleanup utility pretty much the same as DDU or is DDU better?

I don't use the AMD cleanup utility but it should be the same i've seen some say its better than DDU.

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I've probably been way overdue for the AMD cleanup utility. Ran it and then installed the latest. It worked really good. Had a Notes summary at the end and things worked out well.

How's the drivers for everyone?

 

[iLLusiveMan]

Didn't properly test them with benchmarks and my collection of older/newish games because I've only been playing Horizon FW. I didn't encounter any issues so far... drivers seem to be ok for me.

 

[Makaveli]

How's the drivers for everyone?

Good so far no issues.

 

[Shmee]

So far these latest drivers seem more stable overall, no issues yet on my 7900XTX. I am even able to OC my memory a bit without issue. No crashes so far in Helldivers or anything.

However, I did try them on a PC with a 5700XT, and I was playing GZDoom with Vulkan API, and it kept crashing shortly after loading the Dragon Sector Remake. I switched the API to OpenGL and it played fine. So some issue with Vulkan in GZDoom.

Have you tried undervolting to get higher GPU boost frequency?

 

[Shmee]

I have not tried undervolting the card in a while, though I may go back and give it another try soon.

Back to Doom, I tried the same version of GZDoom with Dragon Sector v0.65 on my 7900XTX (24.3.1 drivers) and got the same crash on map loading with the Vulkan API. I suspect the latest version of GZDoom, or whatever is bundled with the Dragon Sector map pack at least, does not play nice with Vulkan on these drivers.

 

[Shmee]

Small update here, running a 5% undervolt, so far so good, helped my 3Dmark score a bit.

 

[Shmee]

Well the undervolt made my Helldivers crash. I went back to stock core settings, gonna stick with the memory tweaking for now.

Had a crash in CS2 on a map change from a vote. Not sure if it's Windows 10 or what but W10 has been flaky for gaming on multiple levels aside from GPU drivers, for years. W10 does however offer a ton more fps in CS2 than W11. Half temped to roll back to 24.2.1 temporarily. Seemed to be the least glitchy for me.
