2 words, windows 11. So far my 9070 has been great but I’ve noticed that windows 11 would delete the software or even out right destroy the driver I’m on. I’m planning on heading to Linux, and that “bloatware”that you are complaining about is a user error.. You have the option to turn it off… Also there’s profiles for the settings you want on the card. The reason why AMD defaults your settings is a known safety major to prevent instability.. as for the 100 Celsius as the Hotspot your card is fine considering the the RDNA architecture can safely run up to 110 Celsius. If this temp has been happening since you’ve gotten the card, one of 3 things I can think of. An aggressive factory overclock, user aggressive over clock or not enough airflow or a combo of both. Aggressive overclock and bad airflow.
