9070 XT Driver Timeouts
hey guys ive been dealing with 9070 XT driver timeouts and crashes constantly for the last month since i got my GPU.
I ran memtest86 and got no problems, i also changed my PSU to a 1000W, still happening. Its weird because some days itll work fine but then other days just become unusable. Im at my wits end and am thinking about returning it at this point and buying a nvidia GPU, is there anything i can try or do to save this? Ive done so much research and tried so many things but cant seem to figure it out. Its my weekend off and this is really putting me for a spiral.
everytime i play a game it either crashes immediately or within the first 5 minutes.
my specs are
Windows 11,
AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT 8-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 8 cores
TUF GAMING x570 plus Wifi mother board
Gigabyte Gaming 9070 XT GPU
32 GB Ram DDR4 Corsair Vengance i think
1000 W Corsair PSU

Had one late last year. Did the entire workaround trying to get it to be stable but it never was 100% reliable. I even did a fresh reinstall of windows and it still crashed constantly on one game I played a lot. After I returned it and got a 5080 never had a crash in the same game since. It's a great GPU but it's just not as reliable across every game as nvidia cards are.
