Classical user error but let’s blame AMD, as so many doMaybe there is a bonus round?
I woke up the following morning, and the 4x RX 5700 XT rig was dead off, no lights from the riser cards, no fan noise, nothing.
Pushing power switch - nothing.
Holding power switch in for 5 seconds, then pressing power switch - nothing.
Unplugging cable from back of PSU, flipping PSU switch back and forth a few times, plugging it back in, and then pressing the power button in front - NOTHING!
The rig is acting dead-dead again.
I honestly don't know what's going on here.
I b
it’s always easier to lay the blame on someone else, right.I meant the GPU fans. They can run too loud/too fast if they are not controlled.
The intern forgot to do the simple device ID check during driver installation!!!
Scratch this, it’s AMDs fault. If it rains outside, or if you forget to take the Pizza out of the oven and it burns to a crisp, it’s also AMDs fault.
However, if anything’s up with a Nvidia card its never Nvidias fault, it’s the fault of the manufacturer, windows, yourself, the weather outside, or supernatural circumstances, but no never Nvidias fault - opinions of PC users usually, paraphrased. The hate I see against AMD these days is ridiculous. Maybe they should really leave the market for a while and stick to compute GPUs just to stick it to the haters. I’d love to see it. 5000$ for a 5090 at release and everything else doubled as well.
Hm no, that’s typical woes you have when launching a new platform, Intel has those too, see here’s the anti-AMD bias at play again.
When I put in my 6800 it takes me to win11 22.11.2 546MB and just says Adrenalin Edition. When I put in the 7900X it takes me to 23.1.1 590MB released 1/11 and specifies for RX7900 series. If I put in any of the other currently supported GPUs, they all take me to the same Adrenalins. That makes it seem clear the 7900 series drivers are not meant to be used with previous generations. And are specific to RDNA3 only.
It’s pretty obvious by the file size alone that the latter has added support for 7900 series or other improvements and the former doesn’t. I highly doubt it doesn’t support anything else, else it simply would not install with 6000 series. Drivers are a ancient thing and it’s made secure like this forever, but again, because we are talking about AMD people suspect AMD can’t get the most simple things right, ancient driver signatures and windows compatibility workings, which can not simply be circumvented just because you want it. If it installs on 6000 series it means it’s compatible as well. So if AMD said it’s only for 7000 series it’s a communication mistake, because the driver is compatible. They didn’t even care to make it a 7000 series only driver, it’s probably a lot of work to remove all the other parts of the driver so they didn’t. And no, it doesn’t mean it works then differently than any other older driver, it 99.9% uses an older driver for 6000 series and not the RDNA3 which isn’t even compatible. These packages contain multiple drivers.
Cool. Doesn't explain why they have a driver package separate from every other currently supported retail generation. All of which share the same drivers. I also don't know if you guys are trying to enlighten me or argue with me? Because this isn't my BBQ, it's Fabio's. Perhaps he would engage with you concerning his hypothesis.
4060 will 99% have 8GB, I doubt it will have more vram than 4070, but who knows maybe they’ll do another weird “3060”. At 8 GB however it’s not needed to double it again.
It wouldn’t be the first time I’m not agreeing with Fabio, he knows me well. His theory is fine, it’s just 99% wrong. As I explained, that’s not how windows drivers / driver signatures work. They will not install on incompatible hardware, they will not install at all then and give you a well known error message.
I don't have a card I am willing to potentially sacrifice for science. Or I'd install the 23.1.1 and play games to see if anything goes wrong. While Fabio may know you, I don't. I do know Stuka, a knowledgeable and helpful member. I have no doubt he is correct concerning the drivers. My only question is if those extra MB of code specific to the 7900 series can potentially harm older AMD cards by using them? Or if not harm, at least make unstable or buggy.
And he has only copied my opinion and pretended it’s his. 😂 Not exactly impressive.
Thanks man, you are another one I fully trust for info. Could you speculate on why they chose to not roll support into the Adrenaline package all the other cards use? If you have the time of course.
I don't want you to feel unwelcome. It would be outstanding if you maybe stopped being 60 grit sandpaper until we get to know you. E.G. Accusing him of plagiarizing you when you don't know his post history is super abrasive stuff. I doubt he even read your reply before answering me.
Yes, the correct driver is probably being installed but AMD not making this driver available officially to RDNA2 users means that it has probably not been validated as much for RDNA2 hardware. What if the Adrenaline software has tweaks in it specific for RDNA3 and it is applying those tweaks to RDNA2 when people bypass AMD's basic download prevention and install the newer control panel on their older hardware?
You doubt it, but it’s pretty obvious to me. “60 grit sandpaper” good one mate!
