PC Drivers & Software

Hello, i have a Sapphire Pure RX 7900 GRE (stock, default settings), with R7 7700, 32gb RAM (Corsair Vengeance 6000Mhz/30CL EXPO ON) and 850w PSU, since July of this year. Windows 11 pro 23H2.

I have tried every drivers available on AMD's website (from 23.7.1 to 24.9.1, which i'am currently using, and also tried AMD PRO DRIVER 24.Q1 and 24.Q2, with and without Adrenaline, always DDUing or using AMDCLEANUP, everytime i changed drivers) = No differences.

I have no problem on these games :

• Cyberpunk 2077 (+Phantom Liberty)

• Hogwarts Legacy

• The Crew Motorfest

• Dragon's Dogma 2

• Spider-Man Miles Morales

• STAR WARS Jedi Survivor

I get drivers timeout randomly (CTD only, amduw23g), sometimes during launch/loading screens, on the following games :

• Elden Ring (+Shadow of the Erdtree)

• Forza Horizon 4

• Gotham Knights

• Mad Max (2015)

• Genshin Impact

• Honkai Star Rail

I use the MPO,TDR,HAGS,ULPS fix from RedDot-3ND7355.Disabled FREESYNC. 1440p, 144hz monitor. Still have timeouts, but only on these games.

Underclocking, undervolting, disabling EXPO and disabling ReBar made no differences.

Disabled every Hardware Acceleration (I only use Firefox and Steam in the background), same results.

2 hour 3D adaptive VARIABLE stability test on OCCT (intensity range 15% to 100% , increase 5% every 5sec) = OK stable, no errors. Furmark and 3DMark benchmark = no problems.

TestMem5 with ABSOLUTE profile 1h = OK, and MemTest86 for 4h = OK, i think my setup is fine, since i have no issues except from those specific games.

Anyone with a RX 7900 GRE can play these games with no issues, and is there anything else i can try to play these games with no driver timeouts ?

I also have an ASRock AMD Radeon RX 7900 GREY Steel Legend OC . Departures only in war thunder , genshin impact and also tried ZZZ, too, departure. And after updating the driver to 24.9.1, the Deadlock started to crash when TAB Usually departures are associated with some kind of subloading, if there are no departures in place. It rarely crashes when loading a game ( war thunder ) I think this is a driver problem and there are no stable versions. I tried installing older ones, it didn't help

I just came back from 4 days vacation. Turned my computer ON. Updated AMD software, Updated AMD drivers, Updated Windows, now my second monitor is undetected and doesn't even show on monitors' section in Device Manager. My second monitor screen just shows me "NO SIGNAL INPUT" and after trying everything, I'm wondering **bleep** is doing Windows & AMD with their updates... I mean, I have lost a monitor just because of their crappy work. Nothing detects the monitor and I have "amduw23g" non starting. 

Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_744C&SUBSYS_E4711DA2&REV_CC\6&28cf2cbf&0&00000019 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem55.inf

Service: amduw23g

Problem: 0x0
Problem State: 0xC00000E5

If anyone has a clue about how to solve this without waiting for AMD or Windows to release a solution and never update anything again without 3months of latence to ensure no bug I'ld be thankful

Yes that's what i was afraid of, i couldn't find more information about people with RX 7900 GRE and playing GENSHIN IMPACT (i think you are the only one i found that has the same GPU and also play GENSHIN IMPACT).

I wasn't sure if it was my setup, but it seems it's driver instabilities on certain games then.
