AMD Driver Timeout, RX 7900 XTX

Hello

It's true that the origin of this problem is multi-faceted, but:

I uninstalled the AMD graphics driver using DDU in safe mode and then reinstalled it properly

In your case, I would bet on DDU, an outdated software, totally useless and destructive, responsible for a lot of issues. Especially if you used it to uninstall the previous graphics card.

So, in this situation, no messing around, it's a complete and proper reinstall of Windows.

Waiting for other responses; I'm attracting trolls....

Hello,

try different previous versions of the graphics driver

What brand and model of food do you have?

My power supply is a dark power 12 850w from be quiet and no, I haven’t tested any previous drivers yet, I will try, thanks.

Well, I tried some old drivers until they were so old that my graphics card was no longer supported because it was too recent. If anyone has other suggestions, I'm all ears; otherwise, I plan to return it tomorrow, but I’m not thrilled about it because I'll have to wait 3 weeks to a month for LDLC to receive the package, test the card, and either send it back to me or exchange it. Sometimes I think I should have gone with Nvidia x)

Re, in my final attempt to solve this problem, I completely reset my PC.

There’s nothing to be done, I specifically talked to LDLC’s technical support, they are aware of this issue, AMD too, but there’s no miracle cure. It’s a matter of chance for the rx 7900xtx (xt as well, I believe), likely software issues (certainly) or hardware issues, or maybe both, I really don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, I would say it’s either a manufacturing problem (the most probable) since I currently only have three software on my computer: icue, synapse, and adrenaline. I can’t see a compatibility issue among them x) that would be catastrophic and the adrenaline driver must be working fine for the majority of owners of my card (I hope lol) otherwise AMD would be out on the street as I speak, or a third-party issue on my PC, but I really don’t see where.

In any case, this is the last time I'm getting a GPU from AMD, just take a look online, reddit, jvc, and “how it works”, I invite you to do so; AMD GPUs, especially the 7900 xt and xtx, are very sensitive to this bug, I’m not an isolated case.

My solution, buy Nvidia, sure you’ll have less money, but more hair ;) Thanks again for contributing to this topic, have a nice day everyone :p

Hello,

have you tried disabling hardware acceleration?

Start menu, enter gpu, graphic settings, change the default parameters Disable and restart.

Also try the games in windowed mode to see if the issue persists.

If the problem is no longer present, then disable vsync and gsync in the game settings.

Let us know...

Hi Jaguar, same story, my PC is less than 6 months old, at the beginning everything was fine but indeed on certain games, especially Helldivers 2, it's impossible to play for more than 30 minutes max without getting a driver timeout, black screen, Discord closing, the game too.

I've done research but found no solutions, I've done the same manipulations as you, no drivers work, not even the one they released specifically for this bug on Helldivers (version 23.40.19.01).

It's impossible for me to return the card to Amazon, it's too late, so I'm really regretting it and I think exactly like you: this is the last time for me with AMD for graphics cards, it's disappointment after disappointment. And it's going to be hard to swallow those 1000€!

It's a shame because everything seemed in order apart from that.

My setup:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

Sapphire 7900 xtx

2x16Go RAM

TUF GAMING B650 PLUS

My solution, or at least my advice will be the same as yours, go for Nvidia and flee AMD for graphics cards, I can't afford it at the moment since I'm not getting refunded for the 7900 xtx personally but well...

Good luck!

Hello everyone,

Like Nesta and Jaguar64, I am experiencing exactly the same issues.
How is it possible for this to happen on a €2000 setup?

I have exactly the same configuration as you:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

powercolor 7900 xtx

2x16Go RAM

TUF GAMING B650 PLUS

It’s supposed to be a powerhouse (and it is) but the problem is that it crashes very regularly! At most every 2 hours.. How is it possible to spend €1000 on a graphics card only to be constantly held back by this issue?

Anyway, Nesta, if you find any solution, I'm very interested because this is completely frustrating. I'll come back to share any leads here if I find anything on my side..

I saw that there was talk about the power supply earlier, could the problem come from there? I have an MSI A850GL, it’s not the top luxury, even if it seems ok, could it be coming from there?

If it’s purely software, I don’t see what more I can do.. Especially since the PC is only a month and a half old..

I’m coming to the same conclusion as you: first and last time with AMD.

Hello, have you tried the Vullkan drivers?

And modify the power consumption as well as the frequency, if it came from the power supply. (Lower the frequency and the consumption limit)

Vulkan

I had this problem with my 7900XT. I reverted to the previous drivers, lowered the max frequency to 2700 MHz and the voltage to 1080 mV. For now, no more black screen for a month.

I might have a solution for you, having experienced the same problem with this setup:

Ryzen7 3800x

Ddr4 4600mhz 32go

B550 s2h

I downloaded the Gpu-z software to get complete information about the card and noticed that the base core clock was around 2300mhz (I believe 2305) and when I went into the Adrenaline software, it read a core clock of 2800mhz or even a bit more with a voltage varying from 0.8 to 0.9v.

After manual adjustment:

Max core clock at 2500mhz (oc of 200mhz)

Memory speed at 2500 MHz

Voltage at 1.1v

Power gain pushed to 8%

No more stability issues in Forza Horizon 5

Later, after returning to Gpu-z after applying the adjustment, it read a core clock of 1600mhz but the game runs at 144fps in 2k on high with 60-70% usage.

I think this recurring problem comes from a misreading of the graphics card speeds.
