Hello, everybody!
I'm having issues with the newest version of the AMD Radeon Software, which is currently 18.5.1. I decided to reinstall the OS from scratch because of some issues with the computer itself and for some cleanning up, then I decided to install the most recent drivers of my devices (because I don't trust Windows 10's drivers update). The moment I install the AMD Radeon Software, my computer freezes for 1 second every 5 seconds I move the mouse, it's incredibly annoying and I can't figure out why. I restarted multiple times, but the issue is still there, so I decided to uninstall it. Once I restart, it works just fine, no stuttering nor freezing, even Windows 10 "updated drivers" work without any issues. But then again, whenever I play a game, it recommends me to update the GPU drivers.
To give you an idea, here's a gif'd video I recorded with my phone on a pitch-black picture and the cursor, drawing small circles and capturing every single stutter:
Despite happening with the cursor itself, it actually freezes my entire computer. I played a video and the moment I move the mouse, EVERYTHING gets stuck for a second and so on. I've checked my PC performance and there's no process consuming the entirety of the CPU, RAM nor GPU, and it happens right after I install AMD Radeon Software 18.5.1. I haven't tried with a previous version, but if there's anything I can change on the settings to fix this, please, let me know, this issue is very annoying.
My PC specs are as follows:
- OS: Windows 10 Pro x64;
- CPU: Intel i5 7600K 3.80GHz;
- GPU: ASUS Radeon Rx 580 8GB;
- Motherboard: Gigabyte H270-Gaming 3;
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz;
- Storage: Corsair MP500 M.2 240GB + WD 3TB 7200RPM.
If I'm missing anything, please, let me know and I try to provide what you need as soon as I can.
Thank you very much in advance!
"More I read your comments in this thread and more I cannot believe that you for real. This is kind of elaborate role-playing kind of trolling, right ? A person cannot be this delusional and devoted to a corporate entity even if he works there or owns it, right, to make such giant leaps of logic made of fallacies, fact-distortion and straight made-up absurdities ? It's some kind of attempt in sattire by imitation of a caricature of a fan, right ?"
dude, i am neither a fanboy nor do i work (at all - retired since 7 years) nor do i own AMD stock etc (what i could actually). if you think that anything of what i said is made-up or fact-distortion than you are to stupid to understand basic hardware design...
"How crazy must you be to suggest to people to "try" on a whim other expensive pieces of equipment in place of a whole bunch of expensive equipment they already own ?"
stupid? dont people have a friend where they can test a gpu?
"And multiple monitors, gaming mice and "chipsets" (meaning "motherboards") at that ?"
??? try verbs // btw i meant chipsets...
"Even shⅰtty USB mice can't break PCIe bus past its USB controller and it can't go past standard USB's 1000 interrrupts per second (1ms delays for high-spec mice). "MoBos" can't "share pci-lanes for USB and pci-slots", USB controller is a chip which gets PCIe lanes from PCIe controller along with its dedicated interrupt from CPU, only the latter may be shared with a GPU but even that is rare and inconsequential. Every PCIe lane is dedicated to its one endpoint, be it a chip or a slot. There might be a multiplexing PCIe commutation chip between PCIe controller and some devices to make it appear as if there were more lanes BUT it will only limit maximum bandwidth, at worst. On my 2011 PCIe 2.0 system with RX 580 one USB controller (there might be several, especially for 2.0 and 3.x), an additional SATA and a WiFi PCIe-based slotted controllers share same interrupt but that's that, they still have their own lanes. And GPU has everything of its own.
So stop making shⅰt up."
USB-Killer sry its in german but just watch what happens - if the USB Controller isnt in a secured circuit (what most cheap mobos or laptops wont be) a simple USB stick can FRY your fricking PC - stop being stupid
PCI Express lane sharing - again german - but here you only see 16 lanes from cpu to pcie-switch and 32 lanes going from pcie-switch to ports etc; and that is on an expensive board and no it does more than limiting bandwidth: it also increases latency - and if latency is to high and takes over 2-3 cpu cycles your cpu cant handle the pci-e packets anymore and will drop them // cheaper MoBos use different ways and are even worse
btw - do we know if he uses first pcie slot? otherwise he maybe use shared pci-lanes
"All closed-source AMD drivers always had problems because their development process sucks and they have newer fixed that."
in my opinion all proprietary sh*t has problems
btw Radeon and RadeonFeature is based on AMD documentation - also OpenCL should work there (but havent tested it - no Linux Desktop since years)
"We might not be AMD devs but I DO sometimes look at their code in Linux kernel (actual driver) and Mesa & LLVM projects (code compilation, shader interpretation, OpenGL and Vulkan implementaions for GPU; all the "fat", framework stuff and the reason why GPU "drivers" are gigantic), debug stuff and report directly to them. So I know a thing or two about that."
so do i - but i focus more on AMD AMF 
i hope the "report to AMD" function is a way to increase priority of a bug - at least there is hope
would be great if the driver would do the whole job on its own - but what is with bugs that crashes the pc? only possible to collect memdump until crashing - and if it takes longer than 3min the dump will be HUGE - so without repeatable bug the driver is kind of screwed doing it full auto - or amd has to solder 128gb nand only for debug onto any GPU ;D
usually when i report a driver bug on amd.com/report i do upload a dump to my server and post the link into my error description
// about the cp detection - no accusation in any form - i just said that this feature can be used for that - especially because it prevents the criminal from doing anything against it
since 10 years all big SW and HW companies work together on that
many cp is known - Google & MS run pattern-detection on that (not only faces - but everything that has a unique pattern in the picture/video: like distance between window and bed in combined with position of body etc - they save those patterns
MS (especially since Win10) trys to detect those patterns locally when you open a picture
google checks any picture you reverse-search
there was a test where graphics-drivers contain some of those patterns and check the output especially for videos
Microsoft launches cloud version of child porn detector - giyf.com
did you try to install correct driver for your display? can maybe help in your case
you mean Vulkan 1.1 "Protected Content"
1. AMD is in USA and in USA rules the lobby
2. all DRM suck - and its often proven that they are useless and only harm the paying customer
3. see 1.
4. that is also used to detect childporn
5. you can use this feature for good too - like for some privacy stuff
