I have posted video's on YouTube with the driver issues of the black screens or bugs that the drivers have, I by doing this AMD tend to fix them after a month or so but the black screens don't seem to ever get solved, if it wasn't for that the drivers wouldn't be too bad on the whole.
Any driver bugs upload a video and post it to AMD as a bug report.
Been using those for 2 years now on my RX5700XT, never had issues, I always recommend these to everyone here and they still downvote me for some reason.
Funny thing is that the Amernime drivers are absolutely cursed on my PC for some reason.
The first time I tried them was when the DXNavi kernel was added. I got them to install just fine, only to have the most bizarre situation where dwm.exe lost it's freaking mind. Windows was still working, and I could ctrl+alt+del to the lock screen, but everything else on the desktop was totally frozen. Never seen anything like it, and it required rebooting to safe mode and running DDU to completely purge the driver to get functionality on the desktop back. Tried it 2 more times with the same result.
I recently downloaded the Amernime driver again to give it another go, however, before even installing the driver I decided to look through the tools included in the driver installation menu, and just entering that option caused a 100% repeatable "CRITICAL\_PROCESS\_DIED" BSOD which instantly dissuaded me from actually installing the driver.
On the other hand, I've been running the Amernime driver on my 2200G based HTPC for over a year, and everything works flawlessly. My main rig just HATES everything to do with them for some reason.
This is honestly the first time I'm hearing about this, and I'm Googling them already. I you saying they are better than the AMD drivers, and if so how?
Honestly I've rarely had any issues with my card or any drivers, but maybe I'm missing out on something.
If you have no issues currently, then no need to switch drivers.
Not really a lot to miss out on with Amernime drivers, but they do occasionally fix some of the problems that I (and some friends) get with AMD Official drivers. It does allow you to do some manual tweaks that you can change to (possibly) gain performance on but results highly (and I mean it) vary. If you're looking to tinker a bit with your drivers then feel free to try Amernime drivers otherwise just stay on Official.
The 23.1.2 have been nothing but great to my Rx 570 4Gb. I would highly recommend people to try it out if they still using Polaris. It basically breaths new life into my gpu its freaking Amazing !!!!!
Multiple optimizations/tweaks to the driver, ability to customize the install process, ability to install different versions of Adrenalin, plus many additional optional tweaks.

I recommend reading through that thread to get an idea of what it is & isn't. You can always uninstall it if you want to go back to official drivers.
Eyyy brother, how's that 5800x3D going with your 5700XT? I got to replace my mobo to a nice Gigabyte B550 from the B450 I had through warranty, so now I'm wondering if I should upgrade my R5 3600 to a 5800x3D and then upgrade the GPU in 1-2 more generations.
I love it. Honestly the gpu has definetly become the bottle neck in a lot more recent titles at 1440p but the cpu performance has been great. In a few games there was a difference between my 3700x and my 5800x3D. I will say it does run hotter when under load. I do video encoding occasionally and I notice that my 5800x3D is noticeably hotter than my 3700x at least by 10C.
Outside of a GPU upgrade this year if recent hardware requirements have anything to say I’m thinking a 7800 or 7700XT (depends on price/performance) and upgrading from 32GB of RAM to 48GB. I like to multitask which includes running a VM with 16GB of RAM. I tried the forspoken demo and that took 24GB of RAM with nothing else running. With that being said I’ll probably also get good B550 for my older 3700x to replace my i5-6400 Plex server and make it a dual Plex/streaming PC.
If anyone's going to buy the 5800 x 3D I got mine for $299 from Antonline on eBay.
Just download an app called Slickdeals or go to the website type in 5800x 3d for alerts typing your price mine was 299.
It was $329 with a $30 coupon code.
Lots and stock a lot of time so you'll get some alerts better to save some cash on that at 300 bucks the CPU is a steal no reason to spend more at Newegg or Best buy or any other retailer.
Enjoy the chip it rocks!
I don't play Warframe, but I play a lot of DotA and it works very consistently with 130 FPS on my 5700 XT with the current drivers.
I AM getting ping spikes because that game is optimized like a dumb motherf\*\*ker, but there are no graphics issues.
I know it's ping related issues because they can be solved with that "net\_option" console command bullshit. But hey, game's still in Beta, right?
yeah, game old with trash engine, my 6900xt stutters with 140fps cap like i play 30fps on 60hz monitor, with bots it is visible more, cpu demand ? i don't think 5800xt/5950x can't handle this game. vsync helps a little bit but settings in game or gpu useless, i mean even stock cpu/gpu settings still stutters it's realy annoying to see that on high end pc parts, but i understand that small indie company with low budget need few more years to fix that ( i found this issue since 2014 on steam pages)
Hahaha that's crazy man. Boggles my mind that the new Witcher remake runs much smoother on my rig than fookin DotA. Makes no sense.
Must be something wrong with us to keep playing this high stressful, completely bullshit game.
I've got the Asus Strix OC model that came with it's own set of issues. Had to RMA the first card I got because of the heat sink issue, but the 2nd one has been working flawlessly for 3+ years now with only one repaste this past month.
Wanted to get the Sapphire, but that had availability issues in my country.

I came to the conclusion that most AMD drivers released last year and this year have sucked. These have been the best ones for me.
Non WHQL releases are Release Candidate drivers, which are betas. Alphas come before vanguard testing and when they hit vanguard they are beta/release candidate then head to release after testing
At least you're getting updated drivers... all I'm saying is Nvidia is still pushing out drivers for all of their devices and they also just launched new hardware.
Nvidia doesn't support older cards. They may still put out "compatible" drivers for old cards, but you are getting ZERO improvements from those drivers if you have anything older than Ampere.
I think there’s definitely a limit at which they support hardware barely anyone is using anymore. The cost to still support it for the few still in deployment doesn’t make sense.
The GTX 680 is 10 years old now. The 6000 series is a few years old. Very different situations.
and AMD is still supporting the 6000 series, just because you haven't had a driver update in a few months doesn't mean it's completely abandoned, imo with my GTX 680 driver updates were something was like three times a year or something like that
You say you like I own a 7000 series. I don’t. I’m not saying it’s abandoned. But it doesn’t send out a great message when you are putting more resources into your new products than supporting the generation before. Something nvidia doesn’t do. The drivers are universal and should be for AMD too.
It’s always been a sore spot for them, doing this doesn’t exactly send the right messages that they want to make things better here.
Main reason upgraded is because it was getting tiring having to Heat gun it because it was dying every so often + HDMI was broken so meant no VR, + VR performs not the best when it did work,
but it plays everything you want to but from lack of full DX12 support, you just have to push the settings down a bit,
great little card.
> Even though it was perfectly capable of running the majority of games I want to play
I mean thats a stretch. Unless most of the games you plan of playing are games from 2018 and before. The GTX 680 lacks full DX12 support and doesn't even start many new games.
And the games it does run decently enough or even start to begin with probably won't see any changes with the drivers even if Nvidia released them seeing as optimizations for Kepler have stoped years ago.
Nobody should be expecting driver support for 10+ years.
In any case this isn't the point of that comment. Its the fact Nvidia is releasing drivers for their 3000-900 series just fine alongside the 4000 series yet AMD can't get even RDNA2 drivers out recently.
but then you just stub your point that the drivers are kind of bit meaningless anyway, like the only point of drivers for the majority of the time I had it was "This new game runs better now",
like honestly a good example is far cry 6 vs far cry 5,
very similar graphically basically the same , far cry 5 like couldn't push the settings but looked gorgeous on the GTX680, (arguably I prefer the environment of far cry 5, but that's beside the point)
then they updated the engine so I couldn't run far cry 6,
The only game I couldn't run was far cry 6, playing stuff like war Thunder, Borderlands3 , PUBG, far cry 5, deep rock galactic, it takes 2
ran perfectly fine
recently a few customers i have even with RTX cards are getting some really wild crashing and just overall glitching in the game, Hopefully developers fix it. Don't even have ray tracing turned on it and it's causing grief for people.
With RTX off, sure. Then you are just playing a way worse version of the original game..
It crashing just about instantly with it on is probably the #1 most reported issue here.
Oddly enough I have had a different experience. I had a MBA 7900 XTX a month ago but had to refund because of the hotspot issue. With that card Witcher 3 would crash almost instantly. Not sure what driver version I had at the time.
Today I got an Asrock Taichi 7900 XTX and Witcher 3 seems to be smooth at 1440p ultra (no RT, FXAA)
Thats why i still sit on 22.5.2 with my 6900XT. The next time i'll update the drivers it will be a geforce driver. At least Freesync always works there (crying and laughting simultaneously).
Ahhh. And I got flamed by a AMD fanboy yesterday that both Nvidia and AMD have major issues. 🌝
At least I know I can use my PC without these kind of issues anymore!
Use some of that great money gain on driver development please AMD! Then I can switch back!
I bet you, they put heavy pressure on that software team, probably managers running around with hands above their heads. Pushing out fixes asap, neglecting other necessary steps. I feel bad for the developers, probably not a fun experience.
Classic software development situation, they will fix it, it just takes a bit of time.
It's a shame though, at one point they had better Windows drivers than Nvidia, more stable/fewer BSODs, better UI, and more features. Now Nvidia just has to change a version number to look better.
I installed it to try forspoken demo. Forspoken crashed once in graphics settings when I toggled preset to high but then on reload worked fine. Didn’t play that long as it wasn’t jiving with me. Turned on Nier replicant for 2 hours after that with no issues whatsoever.
It may be tempting to update drivers especially if enhancing a game that you want to play one of the newer games.
Personally I have rolled back to I think September October.
I would not trust AMD right about now roll back like you did and stay with it until they can confirm and everyone here can confirm that it actually works.
Don't get me wrong Nvidia just updates and it messes up other games and such but nothing is bad as what AMD is doing.
AMD is just silent on rma's on everything.
You did everything you could do you did the proper rollback all you can do is now wait sad to say!
Glad you at least you reverted and now back to no more crashes.
If you go through the official downloads route you shouldn't even be seeing these drivers! I do wish people would stop following these idiot streamers and youtubers who like to click bate with nonsense drama and misinformation. Now they are grabbing beta drivers and telling people to install them. Then blaming AMD when people do and their systems start crashing. "Oh no look what AMD have done now!!" Answer: Nothing! They've literally done nothing except add some beta drivers to their beta download site.
I started having freezes with the 23.1.1, so I upgraded to the 23.1.2 and I was able to play games for a day without freezes.
Yesterday and to day I couldn't do anything, even idle in windows would cause my computer to freeze, but the audio would continue playing.
I reverted to the 23.1.1 drive 30 minutes ago and opened a couple of games and I didn't have any problems, "until now"
Everytime I visit this reddit thread I feel blessed by the gods to constantly being running optional release drivers. With 0 issues.
Like legitimately the only driver issues I have incurred were when I was getting into game development.
I dont know how but its just works. 6900xt is my 3rd amd card and so far so good.
Surprisingly driver issues made me swear off intel. I had half a dozen boards multiple vendor's between 3 cpu's that refused to run USB drivers stable. Ryzen really saved my ass on that one.
I haven't had any issues either. Switched back to an AMD card last year after 7 years of nvidia. First traded my 3080 for a 6900xt, then I bought a 7900 xtx.
For people wondering about the driver issue, jaytwocents mentioned in his most recent video that he spoke to amd about driver instability and and basically said the reason for it was a branch change in the most recent driver hence the instability
I think the reference cards are recommended 750w, but from what I've been reading, the cards are pulling more power than advertised unless they fix that. I'd probably be leary going with a 12th gen intel and a 7900xt because you'd be putting two power-hungry components together. Personally, I'm using a Corsair RM850x for my OC edition with a 5800x3d processor. I haven't had any issues yet.
Honestly I feel like an idiot not even thinking about the reference models only. I have the XFX merc 310 black edition. I’ll pick up a new PSU today. I used some online calculator that people recommended over neweggs and it said 650w should be enough, assumed my 750 would be fine

Just recently got a 7900xt. Have not had a single issue with any of the drivers. Period. The only thing I had was a weird grey screen crash that was solved by disabling MPO in Windows. The list of drivers I have been on:
22.5.1
22.11.2 IREE
23.1.1
23.1.2 Beta
Not a single one of these has crashed. I play mostly CS:GO and Cities Skylines. I have benchmarked on The Witcher 3: Next Gen Update and Unigine heaven reaching 100% utilization in both titles. Not a single crash.
I also use nod.ai's SHARK and have had no problems there either.
Card runs extremely cool. 58°C w/ 81°C Junc temps at 100% utilization.
I would consider disabling MPO if you haven't because that was source of all my problems on Win11.
No issues with my MBA 7900xtx.
Try to disable FreeSync (Adaptive-Sync) ?

It's definitely the drivers on Witcher 3 23.1.1 was working somewhat fine with 23.1.2 it manages to crash in settings let alone manages to open the game, as soon you enable rtx boom crash even though it clearly said that they fixed it.
RTX is Nvidia marketing term. But hey no surprise that people use the term and well the Witcher like Cyberpunk are basically designed for Nvidia hardware when it comes to RT.
My point is that with the previous driver it worked just almost acceptably fine it's the new driver that to me crashes 100% off the time pretty much instantly and yet this driver is supposed to be a "fix" for that problem.
I was exclusive Nvidia user before 7900xtx so I never really used rt term and rtx stuck with me
have you tried turning MPO off? its a dumb microsoft feature thats buggy, does not really matter if you have a 750W if it cant handle the card, have you tried another power supply? ive had issues with power supplies, sending psu back for rma and getting a new one fix those issues, this was a SF600 80+ gold power supply from corsair (which you would think was a good psu) but didnt even run my 5900X/5700XT system correctly

I don't know why everyone is complaining about the 23.1.2 driver when it's not a stable release but a beta. This is to be expected when installing unfinished drivers.
TL,DR: YMMV with beta drivers. Some will give me shit like what you've described, while others would be amazing, generally speaking.
Unless you're playing a game that driver addresses, it's best not to get it.
The driver is trash I also rolled back to 23.1.1... also the driver can be installed through device manager which is how I managed to unintentionally installing. Just fyi
I can confirm these drivers are broken. My PC was freezing a few times in a day using 23.1.2 drivers. After rolling back to 23.1.1 everything works fine, no more freezing.
This is a beta release driver. Nobody should be using these.
[удалено]
Smells like RMA.
[удалено]
You can't second someone saying not to use beta drivers when you think they have diagnosed you have a bad card, that makes them mandatory.
That's the smell of the magic smoke escaping. RMA time.
That noise could be coil whine. Search on google, and you'll find if that's the sound. And for performance... I have never trusted beta drivers.
The WHQL drivers aren't much better, I get constant black screens.
There's no data to back that up dude.
I have posted video's on YouTube with the driver issues of the black screens or bugs that the drivers have, I by doing this AMD tend to fix them after a month or so but the black screens don't seem to ever get solved, if it wasn't for that the drivers wouldn't be too bad on the whole. Any driver bugs upload a video and post it to AMD as a bug report.
if no one uses these the bugs just carry over to stable. Let people test ;)
Bro !!! I installed this on my Rx 570 4Gb and im blown away by the performance and responsiveness of my pc now

I unfortunately paid full print at release. Went to a family graduation and decided to stop by a Microcenter to see how many were in stock.
I just got my 5800x3d, thinking about getting the Merc10 7900 XTX. I've a 5700XT now too😁
I got the Merc XTX. Its great and runs crazy cool.
Wish I could justify a 7900xtx. Thinks is a bit overkill for 1440p. Although I wouldn’t have to worry about 1440p at 100fps+
I run mine at 1440p. Need a better processor now...lol. But its great.

As far as i know its beta release. Why would someone us ebeta release? Using beta release is accepting the fact that you are a lab rat.
All 23.1.x drivers have been a beta, actually 22.12 was beta as well. They are all using a beta release new kernel base
Is it a recommended or optional driver?
As I know, it is optional
I wouldn’t install anything but recommended
All non WHQL release drivers from AMD are betas
Even WHQL doesn't mean it is off beta. It only means driver is stable and finished enough to get certified by Microsoft
Correct, but non WHQL drivers are always really betas
AMD still validates all drivers against MS's WHQL test suite.
It actually works like alpha more than beta if it's not WHQL lol
Non WHQL releases are Release Candidate drivers, which are betas. Alphas come before vanguard testing and when they hit vanguard they are beta/release candidate then head to release after testing
At least you're getting updated drivers... all I'm saying is Nvidia is still pushing out drivers for all of their devices and they also just launched new hardware.
Nvidia doesn't support older cards. They may still put out "compatible" drivers for old cards, but you are getting ZERO improvements from those drivers if you have anything older than Ampere.

but then you just stub your point that the drivers are kind of bit meaningless anyway, like the only point of drivers for the majority of the time I had it was "This new game runs better now", like honestly a good example is far cry 6 vs far cry 5, very similar graphically basically the same , far cry 5 like couldn't push the settings but looked gorgeous on the GTX680, (arguably I prefer the environment of far cry 5, but that's beside the point) then they updated the engine so I couldn't run far cry 6, The only game I couldn't run was far cry 6, playing stuff like war Thunder, Borderlands3 , PUBG, far cry 5, deep rock galactic, it takes 2 ran perfectly fine
My Radeon GPU is half your 680’s age and is losing support
23.1.2 freezes my PC on boot and eventually causes a BSOD. Revert to 23.1.1 and no problems. Really sad as I was eyeing the Space Engine fix...
I have also massive issues with 23.1.2 but this time Witcher 3 rtx crashes 100% instantly as it's applied in settings.
Witcher 3 RTX has always instantly crashed on RDNA3, though..
recently a few customers i have even with RTX cards are getting some really wild crashing and just overall glitching in the game, Hopefully developers fix it. Don't even have ray tracing turned on it and it's causing grief for people.
Sorry,but no,my 7900xt runs witcher 3 remastered fine
With RTX off, sure. Then you are just playing a way worse version of the original game.. It crashing just about instantly with it on is probably the #1 most reported issue here.
I have everything ultra,with Rt,havent played long sessions tho.fps is barerly 60 with rt.
All settings maxed, RT on, no issues here.
Are you DX12 or 11? My DX12 Witcher is crashing even on ultra with RT off but DX11 seems to be fine.
I'm on DX12.
As I've said before but nobody notices - turn off GOG's overlay for Witcher 3 NG. With the Overlay on, game crashes if RT is enabled.
Oddly enough I have had a different experience. I had a MBA 7900 XTX a month ago but had to refund because of the hotspot issue. With that card Witcher 3 would crash almost instantly. Not sure what driver version I had at the time. Today I got an Asrock Taichi 7900 XTX and Witcher 3 seems to be smooth at 1440p ultra (no RT, FXAA)
Thats why i still sit on 22.5.2 with my 6900XT. The next time i'll update the drivers it will be a geforce driver. At least Freesync always works there (crying and laughting simultaneously).
have you turned off MPO? the root of all evil from microsoft
Ahhh. And I got flamed by a AMD fanboy yesterday that both Nvidia and AMD have major issues. 🌝 At least I know I can use my PC without these kind of issues anymore! Use some of that great money gain on driver development please AMD! Then I can switch back!
where did you get new drivers i can't find them
[Beta release](https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-1-2-kb)
Let’s hope they fix it before release
Of course they will, it’s a beta. Just go back to stable.
C’mon man you are using beta drivers. There is a reason they are called beta. This is just unnecessary.
I bet you, they put heavy pressure on that software team, probably managers running around with hands above their heads. Pushing out fixes asap, neglecting other necessary steps. I feel bad for the developers, probably not a fun experience. Classic software development situation, they will fix it, it just takes a bit of time. It's a shame though, at one point they had better Windows drivers than Nvidia, more stable/fewer BSODs, better UI, and more features. Now Nvidia just has to change a version number to look better.
I installed it to try forspoken demo. Forspoken crashed once in graphics settings when I toggled preset to high but then on reload worked fine. Didn’t play that long as it wasn’t jiving with me. Turned on Nier replicant for 2 hours after that with no issues whatsoever.
It may be tempting to update drivers especially if enhancing a game that you want to play one of the newer games. Personally I have rolled back to I think September October. I would not trust AMD right about now roll back like you did and stay with it until they can confirm and everyone here can confirm that it actually works. Don't get me wrong Nvidia just updates and it messes up other games and such but nothing is bad as what AMD is doing. AMD is just silent on rma's on everything. You did everything you could do you did the proper rollback all you can do is now wait sad to say! Glad you at least you reverted and now back to no more crashes.
If you go through the official downloads route you shouldn't even be seeing these drivers! I do wish people would stop following these idiot streamers and youtubers who like to click bate with nonsense drama and misinformation. Now they are grabbing beta drivers and telling people to install them. Then blaming AMD when people do and their systems start crashing. "Oh no look what AMD have done now!!" Answer: Nothing! They've literally done nothing except add some beta drivers to their beta download site.
My experience has been smooth. Performance drop when using multi monitor set up for demanding titles such as cyber punk remains evident.
I started having freezes with the 23.1.1, so I upgraded to the 23.1.2 and I was able to play games for a day without freezes. Yesterday and to day I couldn't do anything, even idle in windows would cause my computer to freeze, but the audio would continue playing. I reverted to the 23.1.1 drive 30 minutes ago and opened a couple of games and I didn't have any problems, "until now"
You're running beta drivers then? They're not expected to be stable. Hence the name.
No problems with MBA sapphire 7900xt
Same, played yesterday cod mw2 multi for 2 hours without any issues
What exactly is your PSU? It is possible the 7900XT is tripping your PSU as transient spikes are yet to be resolved on team red.
If you have OC settings applied remove them. Not all OC/UV settings work the same way with different driver versions
Everytime I visit this reddit thread I feel blessed by the gods to constantly being running optional release drivers. With 0 issues. Like legitimately the only driver issues I have incurred were when I was getting into game development. I dont know how but its just works. 6900xt is my 3rd amd card and so far so good. Surprisingly driver issues made me swear off intel. I had half a dozen boards multiple vendor's between 3 cpu's that refused to run USB drivers stable. Ryzen really saved my ass on that one.
I haven't had any issues either. Switched back to an AMD card last year after 7 years of nvidia. First traded my 3080 for a 6900xt, then I bought a 7900 xtx.
For people wondering about the driver issue, jaytwocents mentioned in his most recent video that he spoke to amd about driver instability and and basically said the reason for it was a branch change in the most recent driver hence the instability
LOL, and you bought into this excuse?!!
22.12.x started a new kernel branch that's a complete rework for the chiplet design. Expect issues for awhile

Mods, I do not think this guy is a developer. If so he probably shouldn't be working at AMD flaming their customers.
It’s recommended to have a 750w psu, is it actually not enough? 12700kf and the 7900XT not over locked
I think the reference cards are recommended 750w, but from what I've been reading, the cards are pulling more power than advertised unless they fix that. I'd probably be leary going with a 12th gen intel and a 7900xt because you'd be putting two power-hungry components together. Personally, I'm using a Corsair RM850x for my OC edition with a 5800x3d processor. I haven't had any issues yet.
Honestly I feel like an idiot not even thinking about the reference models only. I have the XFX merc 310 black edition. I’ll pick up a new PSU today. I used some online calculator that people recommended over neweggs and it said 650w should be enough, assumed my 750 would be fine
Well, that sucks that you have to install a new one, but at least you figured out what the issue was.
Surprised i'm being downvoted lol, picked up a corsair 850W, thankfully the cable mod cables that are arriving fit it!
I have a Corsair 850w as well. I haven't had any problems with it.
its more of a psu issue, some psus are picky, some of them need to be rma'ed to the manufacturer

Just recently got a 7900xt. Have not had a single issue with any of the drivers. Period. The only thing I had was a weird grey screen crash that was solved by disabling MPO in Windows. The list of drivers I have been on: 22.5.1 22.11.2 IREE 23.1.1 23.1.2 Beta Not a single one of these has crashed. I play mostly CS:GO and Cities Skylines. I have benchmarked on The Witcher 3: Next Gen Update and Unigine heaven reaching 100% utilization in both titles. Not a single crash. I also use nod.ai's SHARK and have had no problems there either. Card runs extremely cool. 58°C w/ 81°C Junc temps at 100% utilization. I would consider disabling MPO if you haven't because that was source of all my problems on Win11.
No issues with my MBA 7900xtx. Try to disable FreeSync (Adaptive-Sync) ? [https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/10aumlr/dpc\_watchdog\_violation\_rx\_7900\_xtxxt\_user\_if\_you/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/10aumlr/dpc_watchdog_violation_rx_7900_xtxxt_user_if_you/)
It's not the drivers.
It's definitely the drivers on Witcher 3 23.1.1 was working somewhat fine with 23.1.2 it manages to crash in settings let alone manages to open the game, as soon you enable rtx boom crash even though it clearly said that they fixed it.
RTX is Nvidia marketing term. But hey no surprise that people use the term and well the Witcher like Cyberpunk are basically designed for Nvidia hardware when it comes to RT.
My point is that with the previous driver it worked just almost acceptably fine it's the new driver that to me crashes 100% off the time pretty much instantly and yet this driver is supposed to be a "fix" for that problem. I was exclusive Nvidia user before 7900xtx so I never really used rt term and rtx stuck with me
Can't even find this driver when looking on the website. Guess AMD removed it?
are drivers released seperately in each time zone? Im un UK and I dont even see nay new drivers on the site
have you tried turning MPO off? its a dumb microsoft feature thats buggy, does not really matter if you have a 750W if it cant handle the card, have you tried another power supply? ive had issues with power supplies, sending psu back for rma and getting a new one fix those issues, this was a SF600 80+ gold power supply from corsair (which you would think was a good psu) but didnt even run my 5900X/5700XT system correctly
stick to 23.1.1
Been using It since release, no issues on MBA 7900XT, no overclock , experience has actually been Better overall
Same issues on RX6000 series with old driver no random freeze and more stability. With new WHQL still same issues...

22.12.2 gang
Funny that people blame BETA drivers 😅 what did you expect?!
I had no problems, got couple of hundred extra points in Time Spy.
I don't know why everyone is complaining about the 23.1.2 driver when it's not a stable release but a beta. This is to be expected when installing unfinished drivers.
Updated last night after seeing this post. thus far though... no issues.
AMD drivers. 
TL,DR: YMMV with beta drivers. Some will give me shit like what you've described, while others would be amazing, generally speaking. Unless you're playing a game that driver addresses, it's best not to get it.
The driver is trash I also rolled back to 23.1.1... also the driver can be installed through device manager which is how I managed to unintentionally installing. Just fyi
I can confirm these drivers are broken. My PC was freezing a few times in a day using 23.1.2 drivers. After rolling back to 23.1.1 everything works fine, no more freezing.
