I bought this card about a year ago now, and recently (past month or so) I've been getting random rendering bugs in games, followed by a black screen. Generally, the game crashes as well and reports a rendering issue, and Radeon software reports that "a driver timeout has occurred."
Rendering bugs typically include textures not loading/being transparent or models not rendering. Additionally, this seems to only affect 3D applications, and usually when graphics are set on the higher side of things. I have found that lowering my graphics settings seems to reduce the frequency of crashes, but doesn't eliminate them. Also, I never use settings that would prevent me from getting around 75 FPS.
Things I've Tried:
- Updating Windows
- Updating games
- Trying optional drivers/rolling back to previous drivers
- Using DDU to wipe all drivers
- Swapping the PCIe slot my card is in
- Using MemTest86 to check for memory issues (a post I found recommended it)
- Using default clock speeds on CPU and GPU
- Auto overclocking CPU (with Ryzen Master) and GPU (With Radeon software and with MSI Afterburner)
- Buying a new case/fans for better airflow
PC Specs:
- Ryzen 5 3600x
- Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite Wifi
- MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8GB
- Corsair CX650M
If anyone has any suggestions, fixes, or questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks in advance!
