Hello everyone,

(Sorry for my english, i'm french).

I recently purchase a Saphirre RX 7900 XT to replace my RTX 3060ti.

But when i play for example "The Last of Us Part 1", every 10-25 minutes, my game start to shuttering for 1-2 secondes and then the screen freeze. I had to turn off the game manually.

I tried to update the bios, DDU nvidia driver, minimal installation for Adrenaline.

Ryzen 5 5600X
16GO RAM
1 TO SSD
Corsair 850W Gold
RX 7900 XT

I played on LG 55C1 with Freesync actived.

Thanks a lot !

often this maybe caused by XMP and RAM timings/profiles in bios or if theres a ryzen master or overclocking software or overclocking enabled. Its also usually due to buffering like vsync or other forms of buffering and delays and latency stacking software things. Freesync you should use no freesync, or if no freesync stutters or issues try enable ENHANCED sync then toggle vsync options in your games menu settings. Its also to do with disk drive access and since windows 11 theres a thing where disk optimizer defragmenting kinda forever runs on SSD and NVME in background and will once in a while just lag stuff up. So go to drive optimizer and set the scheduling options to monthly and disable it after or just leave it on the lowest monthly. You can disable disk optimize defrag but if you do be certain you occasionaly like once every few days or weeks run it. Theres alternative apps do similar or same disk optimize defrag or trim thing like samsung magician software or you can run the windows one via command prompt. 

Disable the windows ryzen master thingy too. And be sure to install adrenaline and the chipset drivers from AMD website.. then browse to C:\AMD once the installer completed without any error code when u click finish. If it had a error code resolve it. You would think it works but it doesnt unless no error code. Same way you think intel/nvidia are a computer. You then in C:\AMD \packages\chipset\IO run all the exe's and setup files theres a HEAP even if you think you dont need them or dont like how it makes a bunch of those folders in C:\ where it installs them.. They are IMPORTANT. run them all. you cant use 3dvcache for example without it. or you cant proper power plan possibly or PSP.

lastly if you've a 144hz display try setting it to 120hz see if not stuttering then. It maybe a bandwidth issue or a vsync issue so 120hz being more uhh normal might be buffering better and not stuttery. adaptivetarget60hz and frameskip might also help if you type those into a config.ini named text file for example. Dont enable upscaling/resizing perhaps as it might cause bandwidth issues too. Lastly if youve an ultrawide load of vertically cut in half monitor .. instead of 16:9 3840x2160 it will say 23:19 or something strange like that i forget and will be 3840x1440 see how on a real not cut in half vertically cheap display theres the resolution beneath 4k vertically called QHD which is 2560x1440.. notice how 1440 is one tier lower than 4k? QHD is NOT UHD.. so if your monitor is VERTICALLY cut in half.. YOU need to not select 2160p and toggle one beneath it. So to game in 1080p select 720p.. if you dont.. you will have a bad time. Understand?

try my custom config file for all AMD CPU and GPU systems. It will smart shift the performance and resizeable bar and adaptive quality it. But i basically take the 1080p graphs bars for performance and FPS that goes right across the screen high numbers on AMD fastest best. Then i adaptive quality it to about 60fps but in a 120hz variable freesync display and stuff. I also configure adrenaline advanced graphics and other things and optimize for low latency (those last 2 you gotta do yourself) just copy a dozen of the .ini file into your computer in a bunch of places like documents/downloads or make a new folder or put one on the desktop whatever. If u wanna edit the text file its too large for normal editors i put a heap of ascii and raised bit depth its not normal UTF8 format text file. So use like free trial of EMeditor on microsoft app store. Run the dxfeaturelvls reg each restart. uhh toggle your adrenaline toggles like antilag and freesync delete restore points hardware DEP all apps and enable all exploit protection. run the regsettings reg file once. It might start off blurry and not so great but after an hour of gaming/running its shaders learn and warm up and get better at taking fake nvidia intel trash and binary and converting it to more realistic AMD gaming.

Thank you, i'll try it tonight.

Another question : Is it possible that my game crash because i have only 16GO RAM ? I see configuration recommanded, they say 32GO for Ultra settings for 1440p and 4K.

I game with 32GB of RAM samsung Bdie RAM. its a fair bit more expensive. Then install free version of typhon burner. Edit secondary timings to reflect the SAMSUNG default manufacturer timings for your model number stick. Basically when shopping for RAM if its CAS14 memory @3200mhz or higher DDR4 that means its samsung Bdie and you can down to 1600mhz ideally but most boards arent computers and are capped locked in bios to 1866mhz and use the auto infinity fabric divider or set it to the lowest but be sure to set the XMP profiles VOLTAGE ONLY to be whats on the XMP profile. Configure ideally for 8 8 8 8 8 21 but thats probably not gonna boot or runs too slow. So maybe start from JDEC recommended timings in bios and it also helps if dual rank ram too rather than SR. But may cause issues on some boards check RAM compatability. If your PC reboots after changing SECONDARY memory timings, or any sort of RAM timings, making sure to not set it to anything RED COLORED or with a warning within the board vendor specified ranges should be fine using what manufacturer and JDEC and XMP say as a guide. Your system may take a while before rebooting POST message and it may not boot at all, should it fail to restart a few reboots may have it default bios again automagically or it might need you to power down unplug from power open it up with a good view and a torch find the CLR CMOS jumper pins and short them with pliers or a screw driver and hold it there for a while or use an actual jumper thingy u know. Or consider remove Cmos battery leave unplugged a while. Even if it does boot, you may often find where it boots and runs okayish or fastest or best then dial it down a notch or two for more stability. Test for HDD read errors or data corruption too as the bus/clocks/timings might not be ideal for buffers/caching or timings and parity or error correction. (imagine 6bits transfer instead of 8 because not enough time) Or consider seeing if theres a button on the board for bios/CMOS reset. Sometimes RAM overclocking boards have a special memory test button or whatever or an autooverclock on the board feature. !ALL EVERY SINGLE ONE! dual ranks board manual has tick boxes for sticks on all 4 sticks at 1866mhz with like COMMAND RATE 1T (CR1T) and GEAR DOWN DISABLED. but if you clock it up past 2133mhz the DR/SR rows start having the table showing RAM compatability NOT COMPATIBLE marked in the columns.. So what this means is hardware reviewers have NEVER reviewed a stick of RAM EVER!! in history!!! dun dun dun.. what retard **bleep**s! BTW XMP profiles are fake and void warranty so what i do does-... nt void your warranty too? 

Remember try gaming in 1080p first and if you bought an ultrawideload of vertically cut in half 'gaming monitor' that says 144hz or other strange numbers.. click the lower resolution number BENEATH the resolution you want.. 2160p cut in half is 1440p..  (its the next one down in the resolution lists!)

so game in 1080p or if its a cut in half vertically 144hz display game in 720p .. you can always increase your render resolution with my config file so it looks better than 4k then in game try some FSR or RSR or ZSR or similar upscaling or fidelityFX CAS upscaling. or try change the resolution scale or resizing to 1.5 or something in game menus like genshin impact and countless other games this can help image quality but might hurt performance. My config file uses image quality 2 and texture quality 1.0 or 2.0 or something.. and does say to use rescaler and resizer. so adding a second one can look better but its going to hurt performance.

in bios its plenty safe to have the CPU ramp up to its boost clocks more instead of 'idle low power clocks' by enabling PERFORMANCE BOOST OVERDRIVE PBO or the similar.. I forgot totally forget what the newer ryzen CPU's call it. Its great for mostly gaming or encoding stuff or rendering and animating or productivity and streaming etc. If you just web browsing or movies and enable hardware acceleration you maybe using like 10% of the CPU tops even in most games and 20% of the GPU so PBO maybe not needed for casual web browsing. I've a radeon 5700xt and ryzen 5700G In bios enable hybrid graphics mode for the AGPU integrated graphics maybe and ensure PCI express is auto mode maybe toggle it to gen 3 then gen 4 again then auto and see how fast windows boots often doing so leaves auto is best. Consider a volume RAID or whatever if u wanna enable RAID mode then be sure to install the AMD drivers and consider software RAID in windows disk management windows key and X key.. and then install the AMD RAID drivers and samsung magician RAMDISK(RAPID MODE) for a single drive and maybe try enabling STORE mi drive tiering for that single drive.  and using the AMD RAID installer and setting it up and removing and creating a RAID array in there. Consider using multiple driver and raid controller .ini and driver files.

I fixed the problem.
It's because i have only 16GO RAM.
Thank you.

I hope you resolve your problems with some of the ideas that @Anonymous presented.  I just ordered the same video card for a new AM5 system that I'm building and it won't be up and running for a week or so.  From my experience, I would try to isolate the issue some more.  Does your system freeze when playing other games or just the 'Last of Us, Part 1'?  I would even drop down to 1080p and give that a try.  Making a problem repeatable helps to isolate it and eventually resolve it.

Also, I recommend you watch this brief video about the game issues.

Here is another short video for managing the 3D settings.  Please view both of them.
