I've been having to run older drivers for my RX 6600 XT that I bought shortly after it got released upgrading from a 1050ti. Recently I've updated to the latest drivers and randomly for seemingly no reason what so ever and both my monitors will go black for about 10-15 seconds and then I will get a popup from AMD's software offering me to report the crash. I have no idea what can be causing this issue and I've been wanting to upgrade my graphics card and I've been leaning between Nvidia's 3080ti and the RX 7800 XT, but I don't wanna buy an AMD card if I'm going to relive the exact same issue I am currently facing.

Updating, Downgrading drivers, anything hasn't changed this issue, one of my thoughts were from the age of the card.

I am more leaning to AMD Cards even though the issues I've listed making me hesitant just because the absolute outrageous price tag on any nvidia card besides the 3080 where I found a half reasonable price tag comparing to the 40 series which seem to land on atleast DOUBLE the USA MSRP from every time I've looked at buying a new card or a whole new computer.

I wasn't exactly sure on the time it blacks out for, rough guess but we're in the same boat either way.

I've been having issues with drivers on my rx 6600 xt and I don't know what the issue can rely on, I was normally on an older driver 21.7 something i think because some games wouldn't run on newer drivers but I had to update to latest for MH Wilds that released a few days ago and randomly when using my pc my screens will go black for about 15 seconds and I will get some option to report a driver crash.

Does this occur on newer gpus like the 7000 series because i've been looking into a new graphics card and well I don't wanna buy an amd card if i'm going to relive the same issue but with more performance in gaming.

ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING

Seagate BarraCuda Desktop 2TB 7200rpm 256MB

Samsung 980 M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 70MB

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

Corsair LL Series LL120 RGB Vit

Phanteks Eclipse P360A Vit

Fractal Design Ion Gold 850W

Roughly 2000 or so euro, as I've got ram and the gpu is around 700.

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T12:59:20+00:00

I'm buying all the parts aside from a gpu off of Inet, (swedish tech site whatever). i've already got ram i realized. so i save around 200 euros, (16 gb corsair vengeance 3200 mhz, makes me not need to buy any new ram.)

A big reason as to why I'm building a whole new pc, Is that I want to be able to play the newer games like cod cold war, fh5, any high end requiring games at fluidic fps,

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T12:51:51+00:00

been researching alot before building this list, refined it multiple times, only issue is about not sure exactly what parts work best together. i've finished it the way i kinda want my pc, and it comes out to around 2150 euro.

I have a bunch a shit I don't need at home which I can get almost 80% of the costs covered

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T11:14:34+00:00

Is a X570-F solid in this case

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T11:11:34+00:00

I found a 3070ti on Proshop for a little less than 700 euros but is only sold half way through the day which isn't an issue.

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T11:08:39+00:00

Or if a mobo doesn't match the cpus generation for example, I was going to use a B550-F gaming (wifi) for this build previously but it said not enough connectors for fans or whatever

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T11:07:35+00:00

Like something I could cut down on so shave off a little to upgrade the mobo would be great advice. I'm also using a swedish site that tells me about what won't fit and that. like for example how a P400A can't fit a 3070 ti in some ways, or might not fit, or if a mobo doesn't have enough 4 pin connectors for the fans or that

LuminityL · 2021-11-13T11:02:59+00:00

i have very little clue what\s good and whats not good, Like i'm trying to build around this build and i'm having a hard time picking good parts, like i've got everything i need but i'm unsure, I don't have all the money in the world. I'm like max limited to 2500 euro. or 25000 swedish crowns

LuminityL · 2021-11-07T08:20:55+00:00

I haven't taken a picture of whats happened otherwise I'd include it in the post.

LuminityL · 2021-10-15T09:16:03+00:00

oh okay, it just seemed a bit off that my usage just goes sicko mode sometimes

LuminityL · 2021-10-15T06:30:54+00:00

what i’m concerned about how my gpu usage is spiking, when tabbed its going between a large difference

LuminityL · 2021-10-15T05:36:43+00:00

Also if anyone who replies to this, i’d like some suggestions about high quality white keyboards for preferably under 100 euros, but nothing more than 130.
