Man, more non-windows friendly Optional drivers.. Yikes. My AC: Shadows game may be running like crap because the performance is awful at the moment, but it hasn't crashed in 7 hours. Not sure i want to risk it with these optional drivers.

[cantsee]

Can someone with a 9070 XT confirm if recording via ReLive produces inconsistent bitrates under AVC? I just want to know that it's just not me. I just got a 9070 XT and my previous 5700 XT never did this, it was always consistent bitrates which produced high quality footage. I have to use HEVC with the 9070 XT to maintain consistent bitrate/quality. I sent a report via Bug Tool about this.

relive settings relive avc encoding bitrate

Still waiting on you guys to remove the driver block for MPO for when you have 2 monitors active, surely by now you would have it setup the same way as NVIDIA where MPO is enabled only for the primary monitor and disabled for the other monitors.

[Galvarend]

I updated to 23.3.1 and the next day, my laptop is bricked. My laptop is a ASUS ROG Strix G513QY. Had absolutely no issues before the update. After the update my screen went black a few times but was fine the rest of the night. Now I can't even get it to boot to BIOS. I've had two local repair shops look at it, and they both agree it's a corrupted BIOS chip. Sadly, they aren't able to desolder the chip and flash it. Screen is not backlit, and blind BIOS navigation hasn't worked. So now I am out of a laptop, and stuck with a brick lol. Be careful updating!

[phxrider]

I have that same model laptop and no issues with 25.3.1 or 25.3.2. I don't see how it's even possible for a video driver update to corrupt a BIOS, sounds like a coincidence of bad timing to me.

[crystalyser]

Why Delta Force (7xxx, 6xxx and older series) is neither listed under "fixed" nor under "known issues"?!?!?

😤😠

[Snygg-Risse]

Still low performance in Battlefield 5 with future frame rendering off.

It cuts the gpu clock speed in half,,,, 6000 & 7000 series only downclocks 100mhz from max clock.

[mickeekung]

AMD still not fixed stuttering for Delta Force on RX 7600

Please fix Delta force lag on RX 7600. I don't want to stay on 24.8.1 driver forever... 

[W0lfar]

DayZ foliage pixelation and low GPU usage fix?

[Blacksmith]

Everything works fine, tested on RX6700XT, Win11 23H2 (btw I take it back, sharpening is excellent and the previous problem was related to a separate application)

[miccellomann]

After using the system for several hours outside games using 3CX Phone, Teams in a browser and a RDP connection via VPN to a PC in the company office (where TeamViewer is used to assist customers on a regular basis) the VRAM does not fully clock down anymore and is stuck at 909 MHZ as the lowest state - causing the VRAM to get warmer and getting higher than expected GPU temps. Only system Reboot solves the issue - letting the VRAM clock down to 13 MHz. Max clock speeds of the VRAM are not affected.

Need an explanation and in best case a fix for this behavior. VRAM should clock down completely in idle state after usage reliably.

[Qoojo]

This looks like the hotfix for new 9070 GPUs unless you use a high refresh hdmi display.

Nothing has changed with issues on 6900xt

https://community.amd.com/t5/pc-drivers-software/amd-software-adrenalin-edition-25-3-1-release-notes...

system lagging / freezing in windows

Have to stay on older versions

22.Q4 - Best but old

24.12.1 - OK

25.2.1 - OK but micro-stuttering in some games

25.3.1 - HELL, EPIC FAIL not usable for anything

25.3.2 - no changes for 6900xt, still HELL, EPIC FAIL not usable for anything

[Galvarend]

Yeah I was really hoping to get some kind of response on my corrupted BIOS issue. Still haven't got an explanation. There are people in other forums having many issues, including bricked systems too. Sad for us 6900xt users 😞

[SatterCane]

I have issues with the drivers 25.3.1 and 25.3.2. They keep crashing every time I try to start a game, such as Insurgency: Sandstorm or HellDivers 2 or The Division 2, after a few minutes. Have you planned to fix this issue?
7900XT
R9 5900X
G.Skill 4000mhz (32Gb)

Deepcool PM850D
Win 11.

Driver 25.2.1 is all right.

[DreiNeunVierEins]

And another optional update I'm not being notified about. It's total coincidence I decided to take a look at this website today.

Well, can't even blame the automatic updater anymore, because it doesn't have an "optional drivers" setting anymore.

Is there maybe a driver newsletter I can sign up to, or something?

[itagouki]

Micro stutters are happening occasionally with antilag enabled in helldivers 2.

RX 9070, win10 pro, fullscreen, Radeon Super Resolution enabled.

[LilKing]

I have micro stutters without antilag in forza horizon 5, and very big stuttering in Battlefield 2042, gpu usage fall to 0% ....... Nothing helping, and same is with 25.3.1
Rx9070XT

[cantsee]

I get the same problem with 2042 and only that game. I think it's a problem with the game and the 9070 XT.

All the games I tested so far and no stuttering experienced:

Armored Core 6

Watch Dogs 2

Master Duel

League of Legends

Cyberpunk 2077

Final Fantasy XVI

Final Fantasy XV (Benchmark Tool)

Black Myth Wukong (Benchmark Tool)

Delta Force (Singleplayer & Multiplayer)

Battlefield 4 (Multiplayer)

[LilKing]

I tested so far on rx9070xt:
Cyberpunk 2077 - works great

The Crew Motorfest - works great
Battlefield 2042 - Stutters big ( cant realy play)
God of War - works great

Battlefield 1 - works great

Battlefield 5 - works great but crashing all the time

Forza Horizon 5 - Stutters
The Finals - works great
Dying Lights 2 - works great

[CrossHyparu]

Completely unusable. AMD Adrenalin refuses to open.
