News Adrenalin 23.7.2 Marks Return of 'Bad' AMD Drivers

[kerberos_20]

Aren't laptop displays still locked to using OEM drivers or can you now just install regular desktop drivers?

yep, still same, laptops still using OEM drivers, but its not locked, you can instal generic poor performance driver from AMD/NVIDIA and then complain on forums

I just saw this thread.

Just completed a new build: i7-13700k, Peerless Assasasin 120, Asrock Pro Z790 RS Wifi, 32 GB DDR5 5600 RAM (2x16GB Corsair Vengeance), 2 TB WD Black SN850X NVMe.2, XFX Radeon 6950XT, Corsair 1000W PSU, Win 11 Home. Using Adrenaline 23.7.2.

System keeps crashing when playing Starcraft 2 and Heroes of the Storm ~12-15 minutes into the game (Screen turns completely green, no error codes, no words, need to force a reboot). Windows event viewer keeps showing fatal hardware error even ID1 after each green screen crash. Bios updated. CPU temps ~30 degrees C at idle. Did Windows RAM stress test, Intel CPU test, Adrenaline GPU stress test, all passed. Switched from 1 to now using 2 PCIe cables from PSU to the GPU, and disabled MPO.

So now I'm thinking if Adrenaline is to blame? Where does one get a copy of 23.5.2 to try?

You can get old drivers from Guru3D...

You can get previous driver versions right from AMD.

Performance issues started on 23.7.2 for me. The issues carried over to 23.8.1 as well. I get terrible stuttering and performance drops with ReBar enabled. This is with a 5800X3D and 6900XTLC and 32GB of 3800CL14 RAM.
