Recently i bought the Saphhire NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24GB which should've been a massive upgrade compared to my old Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 5700XT. Should've beend, but it turned out, i'm plagued with issues from the get go.
Installed the new card yesterday, clean uninstalled the old driver with DDU as usual and installed the latest driver (Adrenalin 23.7.2 (WHQL Recommended)) from the amd page. Started one game which ran fine. Once i started the second game, the issues began. Games stuttering like crazy, so bad even i could barely klick anything and i've got some error messages in others as well.
Tested example games:
Naraka Bladepoint (literally unplayable, can't even navigate the menues)
Genshin Impact (didn't even launch the game, no error text)
Wartales (didn't even launch the game, no error text)
Dave the Diver (same as naraka, it's lagging so badly i can't move my character)
God of War 2018 (didn't even start, got a directx error message which made me wary - see below)
I downloaded the directx installer, but it says everythings installed and fine.
Then i looked at the dxdiag and there was no feature level information, see screenshot below.
The next step was re-installing the display driver. again. fresh download, clean uninstall with DDU in safe mode and so on.
Checked dxdiag after the install and suddenly there were the correct feature level entries: 12_1 12_0, 11_1 11_0 10_1 10_0 9_3 and so on.
Started a game, boom, everythings running fine again. I was relieved, played for a while, everythings good so far. Had a break and once i started another game, the issues came with it. Feature levels empty, GoW2018 error text, naraka not playable, and so on. A PC Shutdown doesn't solve anything, the feature levesl stay empty until i reinstall the driver and only for one game (tried different ones as well as those which didn't work at first and are named above).
I tried this process several times and got always the same miserable outcome. I'm desperate and i don't know what to do now. Is the driver bad? Is my windows broken? or even worse is my new, expensive graphics card broken? I beg you, please help a fellow amd enjoyer out. I don't want to return this card, but as it is now, i have to if i can't find a proper solution soon.
