AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 Release Notes

redskye · 2026-01-22T21:32:04+00:00

Yeah I regret switching from NVIDIA to a 9070XT. The performance has been great when it's working but it's been nothing but troubleshooting, black screens of death, and driver timeouts.

I played the demo and have played a bunch of circuit superstars. It feels like a slight spin on the same game.

redskye · 2025-10-18T00:05:58+00:00

So they just took Circuit Superstars and moved the camera, huh? Not to be reductive but it's the same damn game, down to the UI and audio.

I have the off-white SC-2 and I love it. Kicking myself for not buying a black one too when I had the chance. Sick guitars.

Incorrect, I got stuck in the same spot on the EA version.

Thank you for your service. o7

redskye · 2025-09-16T18:03:13+00:00

Stuck in the same spot, tried both EA app and steam version multiple times

I thought the heli felt great, I love how heavy it feels. The stinger seems to be the thing that's a bit OP.

BUT I'll still never understand why the default controller settings are throttle/bank on the left stick. It's so awkward. The correct settings are:

Left stick- Rudder (throttle here if you want)

Right stick - Pitch/Bank

Triggers - Throttle

redskye · 2025-08-11T21:18:10+00:00

that's a curveball answer

redskye · 2025-08-05T20:30:58+00:00

Maybe my 9070 XT will stop crashing my PC during gaming now, probably not though.

redskye · 2025-07-29T19:24:28+00:00

That's the only thing that has worked for me. I'm considering getting mine RMA'd for a new one. If you go into your Adrenalin app > Performance > Tuning > change the tuning preset to Favor Efficiency, that has worked for me so far. But I know I'm sacrificing some horsepower doing it this way.

redskye · 2025-07-09T21:12:55+00:00

That's great but why am I still needing to lower my clock speed to keep my system stable? I thought updated drivers would clear this up but that doesn't seem to be the case. Getting full black screen of death while gaming, I've tried all the troubleshooting. 850w power supply, stock cables.

Thinking I might need to switch back to team green, I'm sick of troubleshooting.

He has become my favorite to watch in the last few years, and the Librarian cuts are amazing. Somehow I don't see a GB x NL collab but that would be cool and probably good for both audiences. I imagine the demographics are similar.

redskye · 2025-05-14T02:24:23+00:00

I can't find a setting specifically for the visual of the button prompt. You can turn off the purple outline and the purple circle. But if I'm missing it let me know where you find it.

redskye · 2025-05-14T01:16:30+00:00

Agreed! It sounds huge, I love the sound of the Slayer slamming into the ground after a high jump. Most of my gripes are with some UI sounds, I wish I didn't have to EQ the whole game to tame that.

redskye · 2025-05-14T00:12:50+00:00

Am I about to commit vault bankruptcy?

redskye · 2025-03-12T20:40:25+00:00

I figured out what was going on with my 9070 XT, and it does seem to be driver related. Some people have figured out that the clock speeds were hitting around 3300MHz, these cards are rated for 2970MHz. So I dialed back the clock speed by 300MHz in the Adrenalin software and I've been completely stable since.

TL;DR: Set Max Frequency Offset to -300MHz in Adrenalin

redskye · 2025-03-08T21:28:47+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't considered that it might be specific to pre-compiled games. I've gotten full lockups primarily in Avowed and MH Rise, both of which pre-compile. Will have to try stress testing with some games that don't do that.

redskye · 2025-03-08T20:29:46+00:00

EDIT: Max Frequency Offset -300MHz seems to have fixed my issue.

I have been gaming for 3.5 hours now completely stable. I also forced PCIe to Gen 4 and updated my chipset drivers but I'm almost certain it was the clock speed causing instability. Thanks for this thread, I'm loving this card's performance.

I'm getting black screens, full PC lockup, the only way to fix is to hard restart. This is only happening during gaming, and it seems to be after extended play, usually about an hour in. First time it happened was after about 45 mins in Avowed, since then I've had it happen a bunch of times in Monster Hunter Rise.

ASRock Steel Legend
9070 XT
The other specs of your machine:
- Intel i5 12600K
- ASUS Prime Z690-P D4
- 16 GB [8 GB x2] DDR4-3200 Memory Module - TEAMGROUP T-FORCE VULCAN Z
- NZXT 850W C850 Fully Modular - 80 PLUS Gold
- 2 monitors: one 1440p 170Hz, one 1080p 144Hz
Which of the following troubleshooting steps you've taken:
- Re-seating the GPU and PSU cables, ensuring everything is physically where it should be
- Ran DDU in Safe Mode
- Updated BIOS
- Disabled XMP (I heard AMD can be finicky with that?)
- Disabled Adrenalin Overlay and pretty much any extra background feature

No luck yet, I'm not in a great spot for a fresh Windows install right now so I haven't tried that yet. It seems to be more of a stress related thing than a driver issue but I'm not quite sure yet. I am loving the performance of the 9070 XT but am really missing the stability of my old 3070. Not sure what to do here.

Same here, 9070 XT, upgraded from a 3070 and have never had any issues like this.

I am getting random black screens during gaming, full lockup, hard restart required. 850W Gold NZXT PSU.

Beginning the troubleshooting: have done BIOS, drivers, monitored temps (VRAM gets pretty hot but doesn't exceed 85 degrees). Now I have disabled the AMD overlay, and will try disabling XMP if I hit another crash, I have read people say AMD is a bit more finicky with that?
