I recently built a pc with a Radeon rx 6800XT, ryzen 7 5800x, 32gb ram, and enough storage. Everything is going perfectly fine but when I installed Forza Horizon 5 and load it up, it lets me press the play button and starts loading in the game, but right before it loads in, my displays go out for a couple seconds, and im left to find an amd error talking about a driver timeout.  I tried reinstalling amd drivers to no avail. Im not sure if its just this specific game that this is happening to as i havent tested anywhere near as graphic intensive games as it thus far.  Anyone know what I can do?

Do you have a second PCIe slot?  If so, try your RX 6800 XT in that slot.

Other things to consider:

Plug your DP cable into another DP port on the video card.

Try another DP cable.  I don't recommend using HDMI cables when trying to run high-end games.

Get into the BIOS of your motherboard and check the settings of the PCIe slots.  Are you using Gen 4?  Maybe try stepping it down to Gen 3

There is a recently introduced setting where your video card can use system memory, but I cannot remember the acronym.  If you can find that in the BIOS, try changing it to either enable or disable the setting.

Reboot after BIOS changes.

I'm having the same issue like you, and the game was running fine until that happens to me, it's the second time i'm facing this, maybe it's a problem from the game.

What was the actual solution to the problem?

It seems that is a problem from the game, every thursday this game changes the seasonal events and usually causes some problems like drivers crashing, etc. I've played the game on the friday and it ran very good, no driver crashing.

Got a new DP cable and plugged into the other slot.
