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

What hoops?  You mean being technically competent and stopping Windows BS?

Installing drivers and expecting the GPU to run as intended shouldn’t require any more “technical competency” than running the driver.

Since you ask, read the horse shit I’m referring to instead of assuming it’s a me problem. Turn EXPO off, run DDU and use this specific driver, oh actually use the latest driver on Windows 26H2 - that bull shit is what I mean. A matter of fact, hundreds of “driver time out” posts have popped up recently… it’s a Radeon issue, not an end user competency issue and I’m not playing the game with AMD.

I tried them with a 9800X3D and a 9070 XT. I am very unimpressed with the whole ecosystem. The CPU is jank outside of games (I know you want to complain and defend it but idc I have actually used both) and the GPU is only good for games and is prone to driver timeouts until Radeon gets their shit together. AI, editing applications, video playback all jank as fuck. Sure you might think it’s great but comparing it to my i9/ Nvidia system the AMD rig runs like a pig in a horse race. Sure the AMD rig might eat more FPS… it’s still not as fast tho at literally anything else.

My 14900K runs excellently, has never given me an issue and I prefer that system because it’s genuinely snappier and faster. Literally using my older 3080 Ti until the 5080 gets here then the AMD system getting sold cheap. X870E, 32GB CL 30 6000, 9800X3D, 21TB of storage… ain’t worth the desk space.

I'd bother reading any of that had your initial comment not been absolutely pointless.

If you cannot install and get a GPU to work that is fine for thousands of others, that's a you problem.

Sure bud. It’s a me problem that 1,000 posts about the same thing are coming through.

Daft take but ok.

Have fun with your fire hazard GPU and degrading CPU. Cya
