PC Drivers & Software

[Grubbs008]

So are we going to get the S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 day 1 drivers for this game? It comes out in less then 48 hours. NVIDIA already has drivers for it that people got last week.... this game is an Unreal Engine 5 game meaning it will have obvious performance issues. We need to get drivers for it before the release....

This is one of the most anticipated games in the last decade, and there's no word of a AMD game ready driver update for this title yet... What are you guys at AMD even doing? We don't want driver updates a month after all these AAA games release, we want them before hand.... NVIDIA is doing it, maybe you guys should get with the program.

I hope AMD releases game ready drivers too. The driver release cadence has not been the best for a while now, and I agree it would be wonderful to see drivers release more frequently. 

Fingers crossed; they are able to take care of the lack of updates. The releases have been sporadic, and I want to see Radeon grab more of the GPU market. I feel like if they are able to pop out a few updates a month with decent fixes on a fixed schedule, they could start to see more users move to AMD.

I'm guessing that part of the reason driver cadence has not been good is because the Radeon team has been pivoted to the development of an AI upscaler over the past year or so.

They GOT to do something....A LOT of new Games are releasing on Unreal Engine 5 and the latest driver is rubbish for it...

Fortnite TELLS you this specific driver wont work right when you fire it up, and to down grade 2 revisions back ( 10.8) to try it but if you do that it breaks Space Marines....

Off The Grid- crashes your entire system and gives unreal 5 errors been fighting it weeks I did find a preview driver and or forcing it to start in DX11 works better for stability however breaks other things and DX11 is a LOT slower in game...a LOT slower....

Stalker 2 is directly off those same platforms you can even tell it by the menu layout and its for SURE gonna have problems, AMD has GOT to get us a working Unreal Engine 5 driver full featured that doesnt break other games like now....im very closer to returning this card ( 7900xtx ) and getting a 4080 super black friday...the 24gb of Vram doesnt matter because space marines 2 wont run the texture pack at full without micro stuttering that you feel even at 1440p and 200fps......again I found a preview driver that inexplicably WILL but doesnt support a lot of other stuff so its driver related.....

 Im very disappointed moved to angry that they dont even have a driver for the game that comes with the card which is also co promoted everytime you fire that game up or open your adrenaline drivers with a card the texture pack recommends to USE it.....now all the Unreal Engine 5 issues, how you think your gonna just not support URE5? fully and completely?

Unfortunately, AMD has been doing extremely little with drivers lately. There are only very few Game Ready drivers and if they do come, they are 1-2 months late. In addition, the drivers are full of bugs.

I see i did a bad choice choosing amd...

[Sgilbert1967]

Yeap YOU GUESSED IT, Stalker 2 does NOT trigger adrenalin even when added manually...adrenalin doesn't detect it therefore doesn't apply its settings, Jesus this is INSANE

It's a shame that even intel has his driver ready while AMD doesn't even has a beta.

This kind of drivers delay and FSR3 being worst that XeSS its changing my prospect of future GPU from RX 8800 to 5070 or even a used 4080. 

[Sgilbert1967]

I think I am going to return my card and get a 4080, this is literally Inappropriate....4080 simply wont have these driver issues, it will record live stream correctly, DLSS IS better than FSR3, and it has the Ray Tracing support....I am SO tired of the hassle everytime I buy a game....SO tired and I really wanted to pull for the underdog.....its why I built an all AMD system, that and the Vram...but the ONE title AMD advertises with the 4k texture pack wont run it without micro stutter you feel...and it eventually fills up all 24gb anyway..

 Im noticing on the settings I have to use to run somewhat smoothly its generally 12-15gb of vram being utilized...so 16gb will be just fine even if I decided to drop all they way back to a 4070 Ti Super on a black friday sale then run it till next year when the 50 series hits in January, the leak today is 8000 series amd is 2026....

Nothing I bought the card for is reality including future proofing from 24gb of Vram, their OWN advertised game with 4k textures ( even running in 1440 up res ) is to much for their implementation of vram without stuttering, and its total silence on that front, and unreal engine 5 games of which 1 is huge and 2 just dropped with another due in about 3 weeks....

To who can't add the game to adrenalin

You can add this route: 

\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64\Stalker2-Win64-Shipping.exe

If you add it will works, but maybe you will  see it with another program/game name like...in my case Battlefield 2042

It's a shame. We saw this trend in many games, black myth wukong, stalker, silent hill 2 and many others... And we are not talking of some Indie videogames but very well known AAA... we the AMD users have to accept the fact that we are not able to play a new released game at its best... AMD seems unable to coop with developers for example Antilag 2 is never implemented in the game not even in the sponsored titles like COD... I am not surprised to see NVIDIA leader.

I'm tired of this AMD's slowness in releasing a new driver. I love my Rx6950xt but I'm seriously considering going for Nvidia GPUs with the next generation of GPUs.

I'm just tired.
