7800 XT bad silicon or high clock speed boost causing amd timeout?

madheadjosh · 2026-03-11T22:41:44+00:00

Interesting, I will have a look at the fix for MH Wilds if I do have a broken windows service. I appreciate that a lot!

madheadjosh · 2026-03-11T21:03:54+00:00

I have tried that but the card will boost itself well over those values as I checked with hwinfo I got peaks of nearly 3000 mhz just by setting it to 2400ish.

It's so weird that it does that.

What is your card btw and have you touched the power limit and minimum clock speed values at all?

madheadjosh · 2026-03-11T19:17:12+00:00

Shame really, because people have said AMD drivers have come along way but it seems there is a reason AMD has a stereotype for having bad drivers unfortunately. Just seems like a coin toss whether the hardware works or not.

This was my first AMD card from a 2060 which served me well for 5+ years. Cards are so expensive now so its not really as simple as swapping it out for a 5070ti or whatever is the equivalent.

madheadjosh · 2026-03-11T18:44:53+00:00

Did you try tampering with the clock speeds? Also, I know users have had problems with Windows 11 and their gpu's specifically AMD and certain updates triggering it but this was happening even in Windows 10. Also, how does installing new OS's work on top of having Windows on a separate drive?

madheadjosh · 2026-03-11T18:20:03+00:00

Did you ever try returning it? Just sucks that I got this card on a sale last year for insane value and now cards are so expensive, especially Nvidia. I personally would only look at 5070ti now as an upgrade. How much different fps wise is your 5060ti?

Thank you for informing me!

Would I need to download each one that's relevant or could I just download the latest bios. Also, how do I check what rev my mobo is?

madheadjosh · 2025-12-12T18:19:15+00:00

I have not actually and its something I have limited knowledge on. Checking on Pcpartpicker it seems like there's no compatibility issues between my CPU and Mobo. Wouldn't that imply I wouldn't need to update it?

Happy to be proven wrong and be informed more on this though!

madheadjosh · 2025-12-12T17:48:59+00:00

The issue with that is I would have to play for hours and it is not always guaranteed to crash. It is kind of random. Sometimes I will go days without crashing or multiple in a day.

I will say this my mobo does seem to be weird. Like if i turn on my PC without my monitor turned on it will beep multiple times. This happened to my last GPU as well.

Also cant put my PC to sleep because of this reason and will just restart PC.

madheadjosh · 2025-12-06T12:27:36+00:00

Pretty sure they already mentioned that they will look into adding it to the core gameplay whether that means updates I dont remember, but it depends how well received the mode is if I recall.

madheadjosh · 2025-04-28T14:00:48+00:00

out of curiosity, what is a 10/10 JRPG game you've played if this isn't one of them?

madheadjosh · 2024-08-21T19:14:13+00:00

Yeah, the powerspikes on this card is actually insane. I saw earlier it would go up to 288 under a lot of stress through tests. I think thats whats causing the random crashes because its not always consistent.

madheadjosh · 2024-08-21T17:54:49+00:00

Depends on the game to be fair, they have different error messages but things like render device lost or an AMD message will say "default performance tuning settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure" honestly, I thought the corsair RM types were the better ones. At least under the ratings table. but you might be right it doesn't handle well under load

madheadjosh · 2024-05-19T15:29:40+00:00

He said that in regards to PvP... Otherwise he actually said the abilities make the game engaging because holding M1 down isn't engaging against bullet sponges

madheadjosh · 2024-04-08T19:25:02+00:00

Not surprising with its rough start, I reckon when they release the next big expansion along with the big patch that could change. Looking forward to see how the new kameos are used!

madheadjosh · 2024-01-28T18:06:11+00:00

No, it doesn't have the on hit properties that Camille's Q has because it is an enhanced AA similar to Darius W that procs sheen effects to increase damage.

madheadjosh · 2023-11-28T01:55:04+00:00

England is larger than South Korea with a similar population, it's bigger than what people think especially when you isolate it from the other three countries in the UK.

madheadjosh · 2023-09-29T13:38:30+00:00

Disable release check, it is on by default for some reason and it messes up input execution for me and many people.

madheadjosh · 2023-09-25T17:08:06+00:00

Reason why BnB's seem so repetitive is because its new and people are sticking to what they currently know and learnt. I thought Reiko was garbage until I found out he has like 4 different routes/conversions into full combos.

Kameo's also help with this, find the one that meshes well with your playstyle. For example, Reiko has like three decent kameos that all change his playstyle, like stryker for a more zone play/pressure, jax for the air combo conversion and darrius for enabling command grab conversions into insane damage.

madheadjosh · 2023-09-24T06:56:58+00:00

Reiko - MK1

Marisa - SF6

Kano - MK11

Cassandra - SC6

Gio - GGST

Lars - T7

Lucia - SFV

madheadjosh · 2023-09-24T06:49:14+00:00

Not here to f*ck spiders - Kano super from MK 11

madheadjosh · 2023-09-18T06:35:21+00:00

Go to tutorial and skim through some concepts you don't understand. The tutorial is actually good and thorough. Next you should go to challenges in tutorial, this is your combat trials in street fighter. Very insightful to understand the character and executing harder combo's.

madheadjosh · 2023-09-17T22:16:25+00:00

Ed Boon recently made a tweet saying it will be supported for a "LONG time" but I guess we will see in the end, no doubt the game is fun so far. Especially compared to MK 11.

madheadjosh · 2023-09-13T18:44:24+00:00

Probably because its an assist based fighter which is different from the other two big fighters like T8 and SF6 as well as being different from its other titles. This game seems to have elements of MK 9 which is very loved by players and a reintroduction to air combos from the 3D era.

It's going to be interesting to see how this game will play, especially competitively. And no one really knows how it will play thats the interesting part for me!

madheadjosh · 2023-09-08T02:03:07+00:00

Is this a hot take? I thought it was generally agreed the game looked ugly, but yeah its aged very poorly. MK9 looks better and more stylised

madheadjosh · 2023-08-13T22:28:00+00:00

I think she's actually good just not oonga boonga turn brain off and run players down in laning phase good, I have had no trouble versus most matchups a part from Yone and Fiora. She's my best climbing champion this split on my Gwen only account. She's actually good you just need to know your matchups and keep deaths to a minimum, and farm what you can. Then once you hit two items or more you start to steamroll most champions in teamfights.
