I found this channel (Ancient Gameplays) on YouTube, and he seems to have more on how to fix issues with AMD drivers then with any other brand. Here is his latest video with 15 tips on how to fix the most common issues, like using AMD's driver uninstall tool before you install newer drivers, which I never knew they had their own tool for this.


Don't give Mr Plop any good ideas so he stop plaining it will ruin his life because he refuses to understand that it might be his oc, card, os or maybe another drive that gives him issues he needs a life and that's bothering us with this complains.... :roll:

What are your thoughts on this ?

It seems very strange that a driver could do that and why are so many people trying to repair their cards instead of RMA ?

Haha rip my card i guess its having gpu core crack cos AMD is pushing it beyond limits
Im having all these driver issues as well
Easy to reproduce blackscreens especially when resizing steam on older drivers or whatsapp video call the later one if not seen ayone else reproduce but im 100% sure i could reproduce this on every single AMD gpu if some one send me 10 rx 6000 series cards no problem so i know this is a driver issue already, not to mention that the proof is already in being able to produce a blackscreen using steam and resizingit on the point shop with older drivers cos it flickers like crazy.

Damn i wish i bought a evga gpu instead they can mess up and put a ticking timebomb in my PC and i would still trust them cos of their amazing customer support and warranty not that i want a ticking timebomb in my PC just cos i know they do the right thing.
AMD on the other hand trying to void warranty for removing their cooler trying to fix their problems or any overclocking even tho i put a waterblock on my 6900 XT and never overclocked it for 24/7 use.

Not to mention max core frequency limits are ignored
On default profile firing up doom eternal max core clocks 2555mhz
on auto oc it sets target about same as max core clocks
on custom gpu tuning it suggest 2479 mhz so if i set this on 2479 mhz it still boost to 2555mhz firing up doom eternal.
Then i set 2478 mhz instead fire up doom eternal and it only boost to 2463 mhz i seriously get the idea that AMD has no fucking clue on how to do proper drivers
Especially considering if been having issues for months now, it became a lot better but not stable sometimes i blackscreen randomly or while alt tabbing 5 times a day either due notification or alt tabbing.
Meanwhile on Manjaro linux im fully stable
And can even run heaven for 24 hours straight then superposition for another 8 hours and port royal for another 8 hours.
Maybe i should send my gpu over for investigation to this guy but im not really in the mood to take this out and re assemble it with stock cooler especially considering the fact that these vaporchambers might have a fatal flaw maybe where it thermally expands perhaps and then cracks the die maybe or something else.
Not to mention that AMD is giving zero warranty cos of warranty void stickers and them trying to ask every chance they get if you are overclocking the card even tho my last 2 cards both heavily overclocked and watercooled for 5 and 6 years are still alive.

Anyway no way i want to be without gpu hopefully in 1 and half month i have enough for rtx 4080 with waterblock preinstalled cos im sure not trusting AMD right now, i wonder how the custom cards will do tho.
Its so awkward to hate both AMD Intel and Nvidia right now, i wish AMD was like EVGA and just contacted me asked my details send me new card that i could put in right away as replacement and then send my old card as it is to them for investigation whats wrong with it, preferably again with waterblock pre installed seriously im tired of disassembling and reassembling stuff, if damaged my gtx 480 like this had a cap fall off but EVGA had no problem fixing it even tho i told them it was user damage.

Meh i hate AMD wish they just decided to do the right thing, im just glad i am not alone with all other issues if been having.
Like world of warcraft freezing the system, with 20+ reports from mostly AMD systems and 3 Nvidia systems.

Hopefully AMD releases a new driver really soon fixing all these issues before it becomes bigger problem, i probably keep money on reserve for future gpu replacement if they manage to fix this mess before i decide to upgrade again.

Damn my chest hurts....

Yep, the warranty on my RX 6900 XT just ran out, late December 2022 IIRC. So, yeah, could be used abused cards bought through other sources.

In Romania most producers like MSI, Gigabyte or Asus have 3 years warranty except Sapphire and Powercolor(on some GPUs) for some reason.

Bought second hand or from a more dubious source are a possibility, but i think the warranty is transferable in most places.

If that is so, why send GPU's to some random shop for repair? Why not RMA?

My card is still under warranty till may atleast i believe, i hope there gonna be huge recall and bunch refunds even for cards already died if they wheren't given already, but knowning AMD they probably stay silent and not say anything, wonder if my GPU is at risk since its watercooled, i wonder if any cards that are watercooled died.
Not first time if seen drivers kill gpu's Nvidia had issue with fan profiles it would just break and stay at 0 rpm i believe, hopefully its such an issue that caused this then i do not have to worry about my gpu dying altho it probably is much worse then this.

I know, thanks for that. The video says it's 6800 and 6900 cards, but I'll be careful with my 6750 XT and monitor it while gaming, just in case. Hopefully, it won't affect me (fingers crossed).

Edit: Also, the video doesn't say if the cards were overclocked or not. Maybe Wattman is broken in the new driver and the cards are fine at stock? (Just speculating)

I've had 22.11.2 installed since it came out. No issues so far.

has anyone here encountered that issue with a driver possibly killing their RX 6800/6900 series cards? I doubt the cause of the issue but I am curious....

6950XT owner here, repeating what I posted in the thread over at AMD GPUs about this situation. I upgraded to the Dec '22 the day after the drivers were announced and have been gaming a minimum of 4hrs a day on this rig (longer on weekends). In fact based on the release date of the drivers I installed them before my Christmas break last year. Which means a minimum of 8-12hrs of gaming for two straight weeks and some change.

No anomalies, no issues, nothing out of the ordinary. I know this is anecdotal "works on my machine TM" evidence (and i'm not pushing my card as hard as it can go) but with the amount of time this card has spent under load, I would assume if it was driver related I would've seen something odd by now. Hope that helps.

The fact that there's been just one positive response, and more importantly, that there's been no negative one leads me to believe that those affected cards were somehow modded, be it a hardmod or softmod. The idea of those chips cracking from a driver level issue/bug, sounded off to me when I'd first heard of it, and that of the probable tens of thousands who'd updated their drivers in December (6800/6900 series owners that is), have not inundated here and various other sites I go to, with complaints of their cards dying only serves to reaffirm my belief.

Well I’m as far as can be gone now. Replaced my Sapphire Nitro+ OC 6700XT with a PowerColor Red Devil 6950XT. I really didn’t want to leave Sapphire after using them exclusively for over a decade. I really only wanted a 6800XT Nitro but they are at a premium so for let’s say $50 more I was able to get this via my best friend who snagged it on a Black Friday deal. Thankfully Powercolor would be my 2nd choice anyway. I know without hav to replace my well recently replaced 850W PSU with something stronger if I really wanted to push this but honestly I really don’t feel the need. its pulling 325W max right now on the OC BIOS which is perfectly reasonable and the performance is right where it should be.

fake news
I'd not say it's fake news, but rather, possible cases of modded cards dying due to reasons other than driver. Seems it's centered around the area where the reputed repair dude is located.

I'd not say it's fake news, but rather, possible cases of modded cards dying due to reasons other than driver. Seems it's centered around the area where the reputed repair dude is located.
Agreed. The fact that the cards only started showing up now may not necessarily be connected to the driver update. Maybe someone liquidated a mining farm and these are the cards that came from it.

Windows 11 dev build finally did something good
Per game or app configuration to enable Windowed game optimizations so they recognize the fact it enables for whatsapp desktop and it causing issues finally like blackscreening under 2 minutes, so they allow per executeable configuration for this now as well as other options.

Now be nice if they could also fix enchanced sync + windowed game optimizations incompatibility cos it causes minor alt tab freezes every couple of alt tabs if both are on, technically speaking you only have to enable Windowed Game optimizations on old games that do not support flip mode which very beneficial for Nvidia users cos gsync is just broken compared to freesync for AMD

What are your thoughts on this ?

It seems very strange that a driver could do that and why are so many people trying to repair their cards instead of RMA ?
The theory that it was a driver issue has been debunked....

Hmm, so I ran AIDA64 GPGPU, and it thinks I have three of my GPU?



What's even weirder is that the numbers appear to line up.

I can only assume that it ran three instances of the test and added up the results for some reason.

Maybe the NimeZ drivers are messing with it in some weird way. I'm running the 22.11.2 driver with 22.6.1 OpenGL.

Wonder what my GPU gets up to when I'm away...

Yup, saw the video a few hours ago. Glad it's not some software issue but a human one. But those GPU's craking like that was something to see under that microscope.

TLDR 1: Improper storage can kill electronics.
TLDR 2: Don't buy a graphics card from a miner.
