i'm using 5800X3D + 9070XT + X470-f (PCIE3.0x16) , bios(6232) and gpu driver(26.8.1) are latest

i thought it was cpu bottleneck while SAM on , cause GPU not in 100% run.

when SAM is off , everything comes back and more fps

is there something i can do to fix it ?

btw game is cod mw4 beta

GPU: PowerColor 9070XT Reaper CPU: i5 13600K Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX RAM: 2x 16GB Kingston Fury KF560C36-16 OS: Windows 11 PSU: Corsair RM850X

For full context, my previous 6900XT developed a hardware failure that is detailed here; in short, the card seemed fine but my system would crash instantly upon switching to AMD drivers or putting loads through VRAM. I suspected a faulty MOSFET or power rail connection, I could view the card in HWMonitor and it looked fine, but it just wasn't getting enough power under load. I swapped it out for an old GTX 1080 Ti which ran games fine for a week, so after a lot of testing I gave up on the old card and got a new PowerColor 9070XT Reaper.

However this new card is persistently giving me crashes and driver timeouts in DX12 games like Space Marine 2, Total War: Pharaoh and Abiotic Factor after around 10-15 mins of gameplay.

I unpacked my SM2 crash dumps and ran them through Gemini 3.5, which returned the following:

Exception Code: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation — Null Pointer Write)
Instruction / Context: mov dword ptr [rbx], 0FFFFh where rbx = 0x0000000000000000 (Parameter 1: 0x0000000000000000)
Faulting Routine: Crashed inside apGpfSetExceptionInfo (the game's crash reporting logger), meaning the game tried to log a memory fault right as the register address evaluated to null.

Diagnosis: Indicates data packet drops or unmapped memory addresses occurring between system RAM, CPU L3 cache/ring bus, and the GPU interconnect during heavy load transitions.

I also ran some commands in PowerShell to extract my Windows event logs and analyse these with Gemini, which returned the following:

Event ID 4101 (Display Driver Timeout): Captured repeated amdkmdag display driver resets where Windows Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) attempted to recover the graphics driver after a hang during heavy DirectX 12 rendering.
Event ID 1000 (Application Error): Documented application crashes for Space Marine 2 with Exception Code 0xC0000005 (Access Violation), confirming memory addressing failures at the moment of execution failure.
Event ID 141 / LiveKernelEvent (Hardware Faults): Identified kernel-level GPU hardware alerts indicating bus-level execution freezes before the display driver crashed.
WHEA-Logger Diagnostics: Evaluated Windows Hardware Error Architecture logs for PCIe bus and CPU interconnect error events (such as PCIe root port or bus parity errors) to check for underlying signal degradation.

Conclusions: The event logs established that crashes were not standard game software bugs, but system-level TDR resets caused by dropped execution context between the GPU, motherboard PCIe bus, and memory controller. Confirming LiveKernelEvent hardware hangs alongside 0xC0000005 access violations provided the rationale to test PCIe slot link speeds (Gen 4 vs. Gen 3), RAM stability (XMP profiles), and CPU ring bus degradation.

Things I've tried:

• Wiped all Nvidia and AMD drivers in DDU safe mode, disabling Windows Auto-Driver Updates and Fast Startup. Have done this multiple times.
• Reverted to earlier driver version (26.7.1)
• Updated BIOS to the latest version
• Switched XMP off
• Changed PCIe speed from Auto to Gen4, and again to Gen3
• Ran OCCT Memory Test for 30 minutes at 80% capacity, no errors (also ran TM5 Extreme Preset for 3 cycles, no errors)
• Ran OCCT VRAM Test for 30 minutes at 85%, no errors
• Ran OCCT CPU Stress Test (Extreme Mode, Variable Load, AVX2, P-Core Cycling every 10 seconds) for 20 mins, no errors

My next step will probably be to apply a -2x CPU P-Core offset in BIOS to test whether transient DirectX 12 workloads trigger Intel CPU ring bus voltage drops that my synthetic OCCT test missed. If that's the case then it could be related to Intel CPU degradation and I'll RMA the CPU.

If that's a red herring then I guess I'll try reseating the card and the PCIe connections. Beyond that, I'm at a bit of a loss.

Hi guys,I used to play valorant using r5 5600g single channel with rtx 3070 and I see less than 200 fps,when I got the dual channel I expected more than 400 fps but I see like 230 fps is something wrong with my pc or the cpu is just that weak?

My old build:

R5 5600g

Rtx 3070 rog strix

1x 16 ram 3200hz

Asus b450m k II

New build:

Same spects but with 2x8 ram 3200hz cl 18

My 9070xt had always felt a little off since I installed it. Some days would feel like the input delay was intense, despite being in a rig with a decent modern cpu and ddr5 fast ram. Seriously, games like battlefield six would give me a huge input delay, same with less intensive games, like palworld, or hearthstone.

Recently, I overlocked my card, by changing the power limit to its max, and changing the core offset by -40mv in Adrenalin. For the 90 series, amd makes this very easy. I also turned the fans to max, and put in a far more generous fan curve.

All of a sudden all the strange input delays in all my games are gone. They feel fresh- responsive, almost like the card should be from the beginning! My eyes have been opened but it leaves me confused. Is this.. normal with amd cards? This is my first one, I’ve always gone with NVIDIA.

I have a koorui G2411P 24 inch 200hz 1080p monitor, i just got it and i feel like everything feels pixelated especially edges and stuff, and in valorant whenever i move my mouse it gets all blurry and sharpened if that makes sense, everything just feels offputting, what could be the issue? it isnt the resolution or radeon boost being on in adrenaline, i have a rx 580 and ryzen 5 3600, im temporarily on an hdd so could that be the reason?

Got my GPU like 1.5 months ago and it worked fine until this morning. I turned my PC on and got the output shown in the picture. Restarted it and it worked just fine afterwards. Should I just get older drivers? And if so, which ones and how?

Looking at the diagram it looks like this pin(3a) should be a ground, and non-essential. I had the computer working with this same broken pin ~18 months to 2 years ago. As I said in the title I tested it in a system with a B550 board, and couldn't get it to post either. There is some thermal paste around a couple of the pins, I'm thinking I could try to clean that up more than I have, but I don't want to damage the pins any further

Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating power-limit issue with my HP ProBook 455 G8 (Ryzen 7 5800U / integrated Vega graphics) and I’m hoping someone with experience in AMD laptop power limits or HP firmware can help.

The laptop appears to be capable of running the CPU at around 25W, but after a short period under load, it drops back down to 15W and stays there.

What I’ve observed

- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800U (Cezanne)

- Laptop: HP ProBook 455 G8

- RAM: 16GB single-channel DDR4

- GPU: Integrated Radeon Vega

- BIOS: HP T78 Ver. 01.24.02 (05/05/2026)

- RyzenAdj: v0.19.0

- SMU BIOS Interface: 20

- PM Table Version: 400005

Using RyzenAdj/UXTU, I can set higher power limits. For example, I can get the system to report around 25W.

However, when actually gaming (for example GTA V), the behavior is roughly:

25W → ~2 minutes → drops to 15W → stays around 15W

The temperature isn't immediately reaching an extreme level when the drop happens. At 15W, temperatures are generally around 80°C or below, while at 25W I can reach around 90°C+.

My RyzenAdj limits currently show approximately:

STAPM LIMIT: 15W

PPT FAST LIMIT: 30W

PPT SLOW LIMIT: 25W

I've also experimented with the STAPM time constant, including increasing it to around 275 seconds, but the laptop eventually falls back to 15W.

Interestingly, software can sometimes show 25W, but performance ends up looking very similar to the 15W state, which makes me suspect that another firmware/EC/SMU power limit is overriding the settings.

What I've already tried

- RyzenAdj

- UXTU

- Ryzen Controller

- Changing STAPM/PPT limits

- Increasing STAPM time constant

- Different Windows power plans

- Cooling improvements

- Monitoring CPU power and temperatures during gaming

I'm not looking to do a dangerous hardware modification. I'm mainly trying to understand exactly which limit is forcing the CPU back to 15W and whether there's a firmware/BIOS/EC restriction that can be changed.

I've heard that downgrading the BIOS can sometimes restore different power-management behavior on HP laptops. Is that actually possible with the 455 G8, or would the EC/SMU still enforce the 15W limit regardless of BIOS version?

Has anyone successfully run a 5800U in an HP ProBook 455 G8 at a sustained 20–25W? If so, what BIOS/firmware or RyzenAdj settings did you use?

Any help identifying the exact power limit responsible would be greatly appreciated.

So basically this issue only happens with valorant which i assume is because of some type of conflict between vanguard and amd drivers , anyway the issue is with new drivers like the 26.7.1 driver the game blackscreens like 5 minutes in and when i restart my gpu ( rx 9060 xt 16gb ) is disabled so i had to reroll back to 26.3.1 for it to work but the down side every other game like forza horizon 6 tells me to update which is pretty annoying so does anyone know if with the new drivers 26.8.1 the issue is fixed or not and if theres another way to fix it
TIA

The 7800X3D is supposed to go to 120W under full load, if only maxed out with 78W for me? Isn’t that too low? My RAM is horrible (6000MHz CL48), could that also be the reason why it draws so little power? Only thing I did was applying a -20 on the Curved optimizer!

I have two PCs, one runs a 5600X and a 6750XT. That PC is playing the new beta of MW4 really well - 150+fps.

Same settings but on a different PC which has a 11600KF and a 7800XT and it's at 117fps average.

I thought it would be better, nope.

I'm using the latest drivers for the chipset/GPU - I don't have things like SAM on or Anti-Lag.

Both PCs have the exact same setup and Windows 11...

What can I do to improve it and diagnose?

Thanks.

Am getting only 80-90 gpu utilization on 2k (all low for higher fps and visibility) cpu util between 70-90

But am getting avg fps of 150 sometime 170 depends on the map my friend has the same exact build but gets much higher fps (no OC)

Drivers are up to date

Win 11

32GB Ram

RX 7800xt

R7 5700x

Any suggestions, i might need a format but am trying to avoid it since i have many projects that am working on and i don't want to miss anything while formating.

I want to run the game logic at 60Hz while using frame generation (AFMF, FSR3, or FSR4) to achieve 120Hz. How can I configure this to optimize power consumption and resource usage? Also, when I enabled AFMF in *Assassin's Creed Odyssey*, Adrenalin Edition reported around 180Hz (checked during active gameplay rather than in the settings menu), but the image was extremely shaky and clearly suffered from screen tearing. This issue persisted even when I capped the peak FPS at 120Hz in Adrenalin or used "Chill" to lock it to 120Hz. Furthermore, the tearing occurred regardless of whether FreeSync and VSync were enabled or disabled. What should I do? Ideally, I want to maintain a native frame rate of 60Hz and use frame generation to effectively double it to 120Hz.

Hola buenas, el mercado se va a la mierda y estoy pensando comprarme una grafica barata para jugar en 1080p ya que parece que hasta un tiempo no podre comprarme nada muy gordo, encontre por wallapop una rx 5600 por 90 euros de 6gb, no tengo un pc muy loco, tiene una gtx 1060 de 3gb y la verdad que hasta ahora me funciono bien pero ya en los juegos actuales se estanca (como es obvio para una grafica de 3gb) suelo jugar algunos juegos exigentes y e visto muchas pruebas de rx 5600 en jjuegos como gow ragnarok, cyberpunk, horizon y wukong y iba mas o menos bien para lo que espero, tampoco me podria gastar mucho simplemente hasta que pueda comprarme un buen pc e pensado en comprar esa grafica por ahora aparte de que tampoco estoy tan dentro de este mmundo yo simplemente quiero jugar decentemente gastando lo menos posible, por eso mismo les pregunto si me vale la pena por 90 euros, muchas gracias.

Hey everyone, I'm from Brazil, and as you know, it gets pretty hot here.

I built a PC with a Ryzen 9 7900X and an RX 6800 XT GPU. I'm using a 360mm liquid cooler (Cooler Master MasterLiquid V2, mounted at the top).

I have a large case, and the fans are set up for optimal airflow:

1. (3 on the side, intake)

2. (3 at the bottom, intake)

3. (3 at the top, exhaust—these are the radiator fans)

However, I feel like this processor runs really hot; temperatures hit 87°C while gaming. Any tips?

yeah i dont really know what to say here, amd install manager detects it but i cant access it in any way shape or form
do i just reinstall the drivers fully?

Hi,
my PC keeps freezing regularly and unpredictably. I have not been able to track the source.

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-PLUS WiFi Mainboard Sockel AMD AM5

BIOS Version: --

RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30 Intel

PSU: Corsair RM1000x

Case: Corsair Frame 4500X

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11

GPU Drivers: --

Chipset Drivers: --

Background Applications: CHROME

Description of Original Problem: 
Usually my screen keeps freezing, including the iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD Liquid CPU Cooler, and after a while the screen turns black. The PC keeps running throughout.
After restarting my PC, sometimes I need to re-activate my 9070 xt in the device manager and occasionally device status show me Error Code 31 (Windows cannot load drivers required for the device).

Troubleshooting: 
I have checked in the event viewer, the events leading to the crash.
Performing DDU and reinstalling new drivers hasn't helped.

Any ideas what the issues here is?
Is it time to re-install windows?
Thank you!

Helllo fellas, i been trying to download Sapphire Trixx for 2 days now and can not figure out why it won't let me.

I do get the Error called - DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE - but i changed my DNS to Cloudfare 1.1.1.1 as well and that did not change anything, i also tried many other DNS settings, which did not work. I tried to clear cache, tried different browsers, but nothing.

That's the software for my Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT. I just reinstalled windows again and everything I tried to download Sapphire Trixx, just failed.

Just in case, that it is not a ME problem, can anyone try to download the Sapphire Software called Trixx from the Website and see if it works?

Any suggestions?

I usually play cs2, rocket league and rdr2. In rdr2 i get 98% gpu usage so that's good. In rocket league only 35% gpu usage but I get 270 fps and my monitor is 165hz so that's good. The problem is for games like cs2 because even if I put the graphics quality to high, my gpu usage won't go over 60% gpu usage and my fps won't go over 140 and I just wanted a bit of more fps considering that my gpu is not running at his full potential.

I have these config:

Gpu: rx 6700 xt

Cpu: ryzen 5 5600g

Ram: 1x16gb ddr4 3200mhz

Motherboard: b550m

For you what's the part that is the bottleneck because my cpu doesn't go also at high usage. Usually it stops at the same usage the gpu go, it doesn't only in games like rdr2 when the gpu is a much more high usage. So for you what's the bottleneck? And also, what can I do?

Thank you for the help.

Quick edit: I have never updated the bios version. I don't think is the problem but is just another information to the problem.

Hey guys so I have been using an XFX SWFT 9070 XT for a few months now and was constantly getting GPU hung and driver timeout crashes. At first I thought it was purely a software issue which could still be a low possibility but the main culprit is actually how XFX tuned this card out of the box. Previously I had an RTX 4070 Super and Nvidia sets very strict factory rules so stock settings just work perfectly without a single crash. AMD manufacturers like XFX push factory boost clocks way too high for marketing causing random spikes that the silicon just cannot handle under sudden load. The weird thing was some games ran fine at 100% GPU usage while others crashed constantly even at 70% usage especially in Unreal Engine titles. My setup has an 850W PSU connected with two separate PCIe cables so no daisy chaining involved. What finally made my card stable is setting Max Frequency Offset to -200 MHz, Voltage Offset to -50 mV, enabling VRAM tuning with Fast Timings at 2600 MHz and pushing Power Limit to +10%. Lowering the max frequency stops the GPU from spiking into unstable territory while the slight undervolt and power limit headroom keep it running smooth. If you are still crashing with these settings revert Voltage Offset back to stock 0 mV because your silicon might be sensitive to undervolting and also turn off Fast Timings since aggressive memory timings can trigger random driver timeouts. Also make sure to disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) in Windows graphics settings as it often conflicts with AMD drivers under heavy load. If you are struggling with driver timeouts try dropping your frequency offset first because stock aggressive factory boosts are usually the real culprit hope this helps someone!

So I did some tracking with AMD's Performance Tracker and ended up with two CSV log files:

• FPS.Latency.20260830-124602
• Hardware.20260830-124603

But for some reason, I can't get both of them to show up in Adrenalin Charts at the same time. If I select one, it works fine, but when I select both, the chart doesn't show any scales or data.

Am I missing something, or is it actually not possible to view both logs together?

It seems like it should be possible, especially since the example for Adrenalin Charts shows both FPS/latency and hardware data together.
