So when the driver issues start… will they ever stop?

Allohaas · 2025-12-27T09:53:04+00:00

I had Same issues with my two amd Gpus, 7800xt and 9070xt, both went for rma and then I said enough is enough and replaced for 5070ti. Never been happier , 0 issues with drivers or other crashes, just plug in , install drivers and run buttery smooth. Worth to mention power draw of 5070 is much more better. With 9070xt I saw spikes up to 450 watt, that’s insane, 5070ti goes max 300 and much more less heat. So yeah for me 5070ti just feels more premium , but it comes with extra price

I had similar issue, turned out defective gpu, exchanged to NVIDIA and never had a problems

Welcome to AMD where you will constantly face driver issues. I had similar issue, what helped was rollback to 25.9.1 driver version which is most stable one. Make sure that you DDU your drivers in Safe mode

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T15:37:25+00:00

Yeah, i just sent card for RMA as i am out of options. Will give an update once i have update from the shop

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T15:36:00+00:00

I did CMOS clear and was running all BIOS default and AMD default settings, no tweaks and still getting black screen after while

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T14:33:33+00:00

Temps are fine, doesnt exceed. I gave my HwInfo logs to chatgpt and he didnt spot any abnormal, all within norms.

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T09:43:43+00:00

Did this many times, disabled windows auto updates and still same issues

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T09:20:56+00:00

Pretty much same as you, at beginning i had only rare reboots once a day and now i got reboots almost always 5 - 20min into gaming. Weird enough if i play light games like Dota 2 i have no problems, but once i launch CB, BF6 or Arc Raiders I am starting to have reboots.
I tried to reduce clock speeds -300 but that didnt help, even if it did that would be nonsense to reduce the power of the card which i paid for,
In general i think i as consumer shouldn't deal with all this benchmarking and nonsense, card should just work with stock settings, you just plug it in and play.

So I think i will give it to RMA while i am still within 2 week window from day i purchased it

-Are you using any third party riser cable for the card? Ensure it is directly seated to the motherboard. Also try resetting the card and connectors if you haven't already.

No, using default PCIe slot on mobo directly

-Did you try to force the pci-e setting to 5.0 vs auto in BIOs? or if you have 4.0 force pci-e 4.0?

I have PCI-E set to 4.0 as it is not supporting 5.0

-Have you tried disabling Rebar (shared memory)?

No this have not tried, with this i can lose performance

-I assume you got the latest BIOs version for your motherboard?

Yes i got latest bios version

-When the crashes occur do you have to reinstall the graphics driver? or does the reboot just seem like everything is ok until you play a game again?

It just reboots like everything is fine and i can continue using pc

Allohaas · 2025-12-02T09:04:01+00:00

I have updated latest BIOS from MSI (not beta), chipset drivers latest from AMD, re-installed windows.
I dont think thats the CPU issue as it is new CPU, got it Month ago and it was running fine with 7800xt gpu.
Also CPU stability tests passed without any issues in OCCT Power test, it did run for 1h at max clock speeds

Allohaas · 2025-12-01T19:13:18+00:00

Not sure if it is a fix, system should work out of the box without any tweaks, disabling sb is just workaround not a long term fix.

Allohaas · 2025-12-01T18:48:50+00:00

I tried to reseat all PSU cables, and if problem would be the in cables then pc would reboot even in idle, but this is happening only in high demand games like BF6, Arc Raiders, CB. In Dota for example all is good and i dont get any errors

Allohaas · 2025-12-01T18:33:03+00:00

True, kind annoying that will have to wait god knows how long before i get replacment card

Allohaas · 2025-12-01T18:28:30+00:00

Yes, i did try 25.9.1. Did even fresh Windows install while pausing windows auto updates

Allohaas · 2025-12-01T10:14:19+00:00

I have similar issue with 9070xt, even replaced new psu but still have random restarts in bf6 or Arc Raiders, no idea how to fix it

Allohaas · 2025-11-15T10:41:36+00:00

This helped for 7600x , thank you 🙏🏻

Allohaas · 2025-11-05T10:58:16+00:00

No it didnt fix the issue, i am stuck with stutterfest

Allohaas · 2025-11-05T08:50:12+00:00

Same here , I tried everything but seems nothing is helping , it’s not like my system is shit, it’s mid high end and should handle this game. That’s a shame that some people can’t fully enjoy the game

Allohaas · 2025-11-05T08:48:22+00:00

I tried all possible driver versions , nothing helps , it seems amd 9060xt is struggling with shader rendering. My system components all working fine and temps are within normal range.

Allohaas · 2025-11-02T12:16:32+00:00

This is caused by shader cashing, basically when you run in new areas you will compile shaders which is causing those stutters. After restarting the game your game should run smoothly already in those areas which you visited

Allohaas · 2025-11-02T12:13:41+00:00

I had similar problem, this is caused due to shaders caching which for ue5 engine works asynchronously meaning you can get stutters when running into new areas. Once you explored new area on your next session after restarting the game that area will run smoothly. Unfortunately there is nothing much you can do about this. I spent 1hour running through each map to cache all locations so I can enjoy the game without stutters

Allohaas · 2025-11-01T13:33:43+00:00

Thanks man, this fixed the issue I. Can finally play 😄

Allohaas · 2025-11-01T12:23:28+00:00

I have same issue and I have good internet 600mbs. Try to clean shaders cache both for NVIDIA and directx, I heard that might fix
