All those issues with video playback on RDNA2 GPUs sounds like it's not worth installing this driver at all just to get the best performance out of Overwatch 2.

TBH 3 months since WHQL drivers is significant.

Looking at the rate they fix issues, I'm concluding I'll never upgrade to a version beyond 21.xx.x. The entire 22.xx.x major version is a complete mess on my end. My RX 6700 XT became literally unusable with that driver version after I upgraded my primary monitor. Had to revert to version 21.xx.x, which seems stable.

I even started to wonder if I had made a mistake switching from NVIDIA to AMD. I mean, sure, the value of the 6700 XT was miles ahead of any NVIDIA-based graphics card when I purchased it a few months ago, but the driver situation sours the experience a bit.

Seemingly at random, my displays would go to sleep, and nothing I do would wake them. If there was audio playing, it continued playing, but I would need to press the reset button on my case.
After the reboot, I was greeted with a low resolution screen, and the graphics card was disabled in the Device Manager. If I rebooted again directly, nothing would change. I would actually need to try to enable the graphics card in Device Manager, which would result in an error, but after a reboot then it would go back to normal. Until it happened again, and again...
I tried lowering the refresh rate of my primary monitor, plugging the monitors into different ports on the card, different settings in the driver, enabling/disabling Resizable Bar, different driver versions from the 22.xx.x, etc. Nothing helped. I came across a Reddit thread where people were saying that the entire 22.xx.x branch was a mess so I installed the latest 21.xx.x driver, and the issue went away.
The interesting part is, everything was perfectly fine for a few months while I was using two 1080p/60Hz Dell monitors. The issue started as soon as I replaced the primary monitor with a MSI MAG274QRF-QD.

FYI the 22.7.1 beta release fixed a problem with folding@home low points per day crunching. I was getting ~1.5 million ppd on 22.5.x with my RX 6800 XT and jumped to ~4.5 million ppd on 22.9.1 beta. I assume this f@h fix holds true with the 22.10 release too.

I don't play star citizen so I cannot confirm. But hopefully someone else on the forum can.
