Question 9070 XT driver timeouts ?

[Steee x]

Specs:
MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
Ryzen 7600
SAPPHIRE PULSE 9070 XT
CORSAIR VENGEANCE 5600MHZ CL36
ARCTIC FREEZER III 240 AIO
CRUCIAL P3 NVME SSD
CORSAIR RM750x PSU

I bought the 9070xt on day one and since then I get a driver timeout in every game after 2-4 minutes, this is everything in my system at stock. I've tried turning off XMP, reinstalling windows, using DDU to fresh install Adrenalin software and driver only and closing all software in the background, nothing works, event viewer doesn't even give me a reason or acknowledge the driver crash.

The only constant I've noticed is that if I manually tell the card to run clocks around 3050MHz, it runs absolutely fine, as soon as I let it go above to say, 3080Mhz or higher (at stock it pushes 3100 - 3200Mhz) it will crash every time. Is this some kind of driver or vbios issue? I'm not losing any performance, infact running around 3050Mhz + my stable memory OC I get above stock performance in my games so I'm not losing anything here, just seems a strange issue for a card to be unstable at stock. Any info appreciated thank you.

Bios up to date of the motherboard?

How did you connect the PSU to the GPU?

GPU temperature?

try the card in a different system
RMA it

But if I play Fallout 4 it will hit over 3300mhz and the driver would timeout.

its not just the op. Although poster in reddit post has a sapphire card, others in thread show its more than just Sapphire. One person fixed theirs by flashing vbios but I don't see one for the Pulse

Could be a driver issue if so many people have same problem with cards if they go over a certain speed. If driver errors are going to show up, just after launch would be the time.
