Games Keep Freezing RX 5700 XT

[eidairaman1]

I always unplug the ethernet cable during a clean install, and install newest drivers manually. this might be worth a shot here ^^

Yup keep windows from downloading a set of generics.

How about some of y'all go fix this problem, I blame the card there.

Hey guys, just registered to be able to share my experiences and hopefully to find a solution here!

Just received the Sapphire Pulse RX 5700XT after returning the Asus RX5700XT and MSI RX 5700XT. All 3 with the same problems.

My setup :

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 with latest BIOS and Chipset drivers
i7 4770K
16GB Ram
Old card was the R9 380.

Installed AMD updates : 19.7.1, 19.7.4, and now 19.8.1
My main testing game is Sea Of Thieves, which won't load after the first screen. I am following the full thread and trying all the fixes given. Hopefully I won't have to wait a year for AMD to get this fixed cause its causing me headaches.

Edit :

- Turning off FreeSync after safe installing the latest 19.8.1 got me to the Character selection screen in SoT. Still not able to play though.

Forgot to update

Games still very unplayable so I haven’t even touch my pc. Waiting for AMD to put out a fix

 

[chr0nos]

pretty much all games are unplayable on a Navi GPU, too many bugs, they should have waited to get at least Freesync/Enhanced Sync working, also the refresh rate bug its just stupid, locking to 30 fps if you enable Vsync. I returned the card, and will wait until they sort most of the bugs.

Wish I had the money for a 2070 Super but its so expensive here. Reference 5700 XT $480USD 2070 Super $670USD

looks like I am going Nvidia this round after all, that makes me sad... but I can't be dealing with this nonsense from AMD

And it’s the worst trade off ever as with vysnc disabled and FreeSync broken games run like dog sh*t and it’s unbearable

Jebaited..


..into buying 5700xt?


I kid, I kid.

 

[natr0n]

I remember when I got the HD5700 back in the day the drivers were so bad everything crashed. You have to wait it out on driver support basically with new cards.

 

[Deleted member 67555]

This had to be a known issue.
Wonder if they thought it was something simple to fix?
I know there are bad drivers at the time of release occasionally but leaving people without a functional piece of hardware is BS.
I hope it gets fixed yesterday.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Piss poor from AMD really, but generally they get more slack for being the "underdog".

No doubt they will get it sorted, but I wouldn't be happy paying $400 to be one of their beta testers.

 

[Durvelle27]

Sad part for me is that my system actually ran perfect before getting the 5700XT

 

[xkm1948]

AMD GPU FineWine is basically the time it took for their product to reach a state where they were supposed to be at launch. And that somehow is a good feature.

So @Durvelle27 are you staying with your 5700XT or going for something else?

I’m swapping my 2070 back in and going to hold onto the 5700XT until drivers mature

Sell it while you can... get amds next gen if you want. No need to hang on to such an expensive paper weight.

Wisdom right there. GPU value will only drop (unless of course another mining boom kicks in which I seriously doubt)

Vega was at least usable. Navi feels kinda half-assed to me. I wonder how many bugs reviewers like @W1zzard got when using so many actual games to benchmark the card.

From what have been reading, early adopters of either RyZen 3rd gen and Navi seems to be beta testers: All these AGESA issues and potentially false advertising of boost/peak clock speed.

 

[mrdarkraver]

Anyone tried the new 19.8.2 yet?

 

[Space Lynx]

yep I agree, sell the Navi while you still can.

 

[moproblems99]

This bums be out more than anything. I can deal with the AGESA problems but these boost shenanigans are bullshit. I was all set to pick up a 3700X - 3900X but that sours my grapes.

I was going to get a 5700X as a band-aid until the bigger cards come out but I may just skip the system upgrade and pick up a 2080S instead as that is the cheapest GPU that can consistently drive Ultrawide.

And I thought my Gigabyte RTX 2080 was buggy as shit! (Aorus Software Trash) Was thinking of downgrading to a RX 5700 XT but from your experience @Durvelle27 I think I might just stick with my overpriced RTX card. Jesus AMD get your shit together on the GPU side... The only thing I would suggest is just to send it back & stick with your 2070 especially if your 2070 worked perfectly fine.

And to think, AMD fans think the biggest issue with Turing is Nvidia hasn't solved RTRT with their first attempt!

As it stands the 5700 launch is a mess.

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

I'm curious, the reviews of these cards didn't seem to mention these issues, did they? Admittedly, I haven't read them all, but I didn't see comments about Navi being such a mess. Are these isolated to a few cards, or have reviewers left these issues out? I'm not discounting anyone's experience, but how widespread are these problems? If it's pretty bad, then reviewers should help press AMD for solutions. I'll root for the underdog as much as anyone, but they can't push junk out the door and still hope to advance their brand.

 

[biffzinker]

but they can't push junk out the door and still hope to advance their brand.

The impression I get is AMD rushed to get Navi out the door on time. The hype, and rumors most likely didn't help if AMD was trying to match possible unrealistic expectations.

 

[Fluffmeister]

But that is no different than Vega, or Fiji... they were all Nv killers until they weren't.

 

[moproblems99]

they were all Nv killers until they weren't

They are just killing them softly. Strumming their pain with their fingers.
