Oh it does support DirectX9, but
1. the overloaded UI slows the fps really bad
2. there are stutters which sometimes are occuring every few seconds, sometimes it takes a longer time frame for them to occur
3. the device errors do occur not only on DirectX9, but with DirextX10 and DirectX11 too. Mostly on DirectX11. DirectX12 does not have the problem, strangely.
4. The errors with the device hanging occur on NVIDIA sometimes too, but only on DirectX10 and DirextX11.
And the problem seems the driver, but only if you are using a AMD 5700 series, which include 5700 and 5700 XT.
So whats different in the driver with the other NAVI devices?
So my questions to the AMD support would be.
1. Could we have a layered problem here? Some small bugs stacking up and producing different kinds of aftereffects? I have no other idea why the problem affects some NVIDIA cards too, so maybe there is problem in some NVIDIA developer tool or in PhysX? As i remember back there was a problem in the paster where a game wanted to use an internal disabled gfx device as primary, even when it was disabled in UEFI, but the game wanted to use it anyways and thus crashed.
2. Could we get a test driver without the all new useless driver functions, like metrics, streaming, facebook, twitter and so intergration, no boosting of performance? Just the driver and the implementation of game/app profiles. For starters just to see if it changes something and how much it changes as well as for computers with slower CPUs.
3. As for the DirectX9 driver, it was fixed a year or two back and now there are some bugs coming back, is there no documentation to see, how you fixed them in the past?
4. As soon as i can think of more reasons and maybe solutions, i'm adding them.
UPDATE:
Even AMD Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.12.1 has the same problem. So its no more only a driver problem, as the old driver has the same problem too. It's more of a HW problem now or something how the gfx card works the shaders.
