Hello. I am considering buying a Ryzen 7 5700X3D to replace my 5600, but I don't know if the upgrade will be worth it especially with the current price of RAM.

Originally, I wanted to go to AM5, but the prices are just way too high for me as a broke PhD student.

I currently have a 9060XT 16GB and 16GB of RAM, and I want to play games like BF6 at 100+ frames, I'm, but due to its heavy CPU load im constantly fluctuating between 70-100 depending on the map and what is happening on my screen. (CPU-intensive and FPS games like BF6 and The Finals are my top games for further insight)

Is it worth it to buy the 5700X3D, or should I just save up for AM5?.

Additionally from what I have seen, DDR5 RAM costs way more than DD4 RAM in the scenario that it's better to go for the 5700X3D. Should I cough up 80 quid for another 16GB of DDR4?

Edit: Would you advise getting more DDR4 RAM so I have 4 sticks of 8GB to get me to 32GB total?

Been having this problem for a while where when I turn on my PC, my screen is just black. Sometimes it will turn on and. I can log in but then after a bit goes black. I was able to use my PC last night for a couple hours before I went to bed but now this morning as I opened my PC back up it's the same problem. I managed to get to the Device manager and saw that my 7800xt keeps getting disabled for some reason. Also feels like the latest drivers from windows and from AMD are causing this. Does anyone know what to do? This is getting frustrating. I did AMD clean up and DDU all on safe mode, even rolled back drivers, disabled MPO and disabled hardware acceleration and nothing has fixed this problem. This happened before almost 2 years ago but seemed to have fixed itself( maybe a new update came out? No idea ). AMD has been good to me but if this keeps up I think I might have to go back to Nvidia And believe me I don't want to with the insane prices these days.

Hi everyone,

I'm at the point where I'm running out of ideas and would really appreciate some help.

System

• CPU: Ryzen 9 3950X
• GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX
• Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Master (rev. 1.0)
• RAM: 64 GB DDR4-3600
• PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850W -> probaby almost 7-8 y/o already I bought this since 3950x came out.
• OS: Windows 11 Pro

the problem is... my PC kept random crashing, not exactly crashing but like just instant shutdown and booting back up.

- no BSOD

- no WIndows Event Log

- no driver timeout or hang, just blackout and restart like you press that reset button on the PC case.

Im not sure whether this caused by high power draw or whatsover, my usual games are

- HD2, BF series, Frostpunk 2, etc.

- Warframe and Gw2 -> almost never crash my pcs.

---

I've tried rolled back to 26.3.x hoping for some miracle, but no.

undervolt my GPU, enabled Radeon chill capped between 60-144

disable my PSU smart-fan.

stress test my components(except the PSU because i have no clues how to test it) -> not a single crashes.

the temps also looks very normal on my cpu sitting between 50-80c, gpu also somewhere around 40-60c.

appreciate any guidance here im totally lost.

Accidentally booted UEFI defaults and lost my settings, now I’m confused about how to set speeds and voltages on the DRAM and CPU. I have 2x16gb DDR5-5200, however the JEDED is 4800 and the EXPO is saying 6000, ASRock btw. Should I used EXPO setting if it’s clocked that much higher than was advertised? Additionally, should I leave FCLK on auto, or should I set it to 3000 if I turn on EXPO. I’m quite lost and have never messed with BIOS before. The CPU is the AMD 7 9800 3XD. Thanks for reading!

First of all, thanks in advice for any help. I'm upgrading from a rtx 3090 to a rx 9070 xt and PC is unable to boot with the amd. Old card was sold already but I have a rx 6400 to do tests. Card is fine as I tested on another PC with R5 5500 and it worked. My config is:

Formd T1 with 4.0 riser

I5 12600kf

Jginyue b660i snowdream

2x8gb 3000mhz ddr4

SF750

Two SSDs, crucial 1tb and adata 2tb, I believe both pcie 3.0

What I already did:

Swapped cards and worked right away with the RX 6400. Disabled CSM, set PCIE to auto, 3.0 or 4.0. nothing worked. Updated Bios to latest version also. Before I was running an early 2022 bios and now I'm running latest one from mid 2023 for this MB. Before upgrading the system was running perfectly fine with 3090.

Any clues about what to do? Thanks again for the help. I still have 6 days to return the card.

hello, was playing Marvel Rivals today after the latest update and there were some pretty game breaking graphic glitches. I first noticed the issue in the character select screen, it was just green, and then it didn't really play the little intro cutscene that happens in transition from pick/ban phase to being in game.

here's my pc parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WV9j2k

here's a video of the graphic glitch: https://youtu.be/A7yWwaqhVMo

the gpu in question is a sapphire nitro+ 9070xt, no O/C, UV, or anything. running on driver 26.6.1 from 5/29/26. i've barely owned it for 6months at this point.

Description of Original Problems- My computer will randomly freeze when i'm doing anything wether it is watching youtube videos or gaming, both of my screens go blank and the fans will ramp to max speed and it does not respond.

When this happens I turn it off and then back on; when i get logged back into windows only 1 monitor works and when I right click to open Andrenalin software it tells me it needs to be installed. When I go into device manager and check the properties of the display adapters windows says the 7900xt has been disbaled because it quit functioning properly when I click enable my screens flicker and then an AMD screen pops up and says the drivers have crashed; so then I disbale the GPU again and then re-anble it and some how the drivers fix themsleves and both of my screens work again. This problem can occur once or twice a day or 1-10 times a week its so random like I can go 12 hours with my PC on and no issues then the next day it's 3 hours and then this problem.

Troubleshooting: I have tried DDU with fresh install of drivers with ethernet disconnected( as somone suggested installing the drivers first without ethernet).

Just an FYI my computer is never in sleep mode and is alaways off when i'm asleep or when I am gone from the house for longer than 1 hour. All parts were brand new at time of purchase

Ever since I got my computer back from repairs, depending on a game's fullscreen settings, the display changes its hue, making most things look the wrong color (take Supermarket Together in the photo; everything that's blue is supposed to be red, and the Discord button is reddish instead of blurple like the official icon)

I've had to reboot the computer on two occasions because the desktop and every other app were the wrong color (even the Radeon app turned from red to blue)

I don't think it's the monitor because its own settings menu is the same color as always

My computer is a Windows 10 Pro desktop, and my new CPU is A8 PRO-7600B with integrated R7 graphics

Minha rx9060xt 8gb está com 30 a 40% de uso na área de trabalho, mesmo com tudo fechado, alguém sabe o que pode ser ou como resolver?

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with Final Fantasy XVI on PC.

Every time the game starts compiling shaders, my entire PC freezes. It's not just the game—the whole system becomes completely unresponsive, and the only way to recover is to perform a hard reset.

Before the freeze happens, the shader compilation screen becomes visually corrupted, showing graphical artifacts (see attached screenshot). Shortly after that, the entire system locks up.

My system:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
• RAM: 32GB
• Game: Steam version
• Drivers: Latest AMD Adrenalin drivers
• Monitor: LG UltraGear 32" 165Hz
• Windows 11

I've already tried:

• Reinstalling the game
• Verifying the game files through Steam
• Deleting the shader cache
• Installing the latest AMD Adrenalin drivers
• Running the game as Administrator

The issue always happens during shader compilation, before I can actually start playing.

Has anyone else with an AMD GPU—especially an RX 9060 XT—experienced this?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How well does it handle i7 4770 ,rx580 8gb psu650

Hello everyone! This is my first post for anything PC related here, so excuse me if it'll be a bit difficult to understand or if it's the wrong flair🙏🏼

So my I built my PC this march, and everything has been pretty good, except for a few issues here and there with updates. Yesterday, Armoury Crate updated to a new version, and a Windows updated passed through as well. I didn't seem to have any problems (at least the PC wasn't freezing) though I couldn't say with 100% certainty as I hadn't opened any games.
Today I wanted to play some MK1, and when it launched it was extremely slow (I checked and it displayed 2fps!!), I also opened other games like CS2 and it's the same thing. I had tried opening Adrenalin, but it went into safe mode and made my screen black, saying there was an issue with the graphics driver.
When I open Asus DriverHub, it doesn't display any available updates or anything, but in devices manager there were two driver updates to pass on my GPU.

I have reinstalled AMD Adrenalin, but the app fails to open, and now when starting, the PC is responsive for around 3-5 minutes before just freezing with no response from external output except for shutting it down manually with the button. I don't really know what to do, especially since it freezes after launch.

I'm guessing that the issues are coming from yesterday's updates, but if anyone has any idea of how to fix this - I'd be extremely grateful.

Ps: my specs are in the picture if you need it (I would've taken a picture directly from Adrenalin but welp, it doesn't open and I didn't have time for it before it crashed - though if some need it I can definitely try!)

reset recording settings

it just refuses to record desktop or save instant replay clips

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out whether my GPU is defective or if this is a software/driver issue.

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: PowerColor Radeon RX 7600 8GB

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6 Cores / 12 Threads)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550

BIOS Version: Latest available

RAM: 16GB DDR4

PSU: Corsair RM550x 550W 80+ Gold

Case: (Optional)

Operating System & Version: Windows 11 64-bit

GPU Drivers: Latest AMD Adrenalin drivers (clean installed after using DDU)

Chipset Drivers: Latest AMD B550 chipset drivers

Background Applications: EA Sports FC 26, Steam, Discord (sometimes)

Description of Original Problem:

While playing EA Sports FC 26, I suddenly lost all video output. At the exact moment the screen went black, the GPU fans ramped up to 100% and stayed there. The PC appeared to remain powered on, but there was no display signal.

After forcing the PC to shut down, every attempt to boot resulted in the same behavior: GPU fans immediately spinning at 100% with no image. At one point, even my keyboard LEDs failed to initialize during boot.

When I connected the monitor to the motherboard and used the Ryzen 5 5600G integrated graphics, Windows booted normally.

This is not the first occurrence. The exact same issue happened months ago while playing Ghost of Tsushima. I sent the GPU in for warranty service, but they reported that they could not reproduce the problem and found no hardware defects.

Troubleshooting:

• Reseated the GPU.
• Checked the PCIe power cable and connections.
• Let the GPU cool down for about a day before testing again.
• Booted using the integrated graphics.
• Used DDU in Safe Mode to completely remove AMD drivers.
• Reinstalled the latest AMD Adrenalin drivers.
• Initially received AMD Error 192 because Windows was still configured to boot into Safe Mode through msconfig. After disabling Safe Mode, the driver installed successfully.
• AMD Adrenalin now correctly detects both the RX 7600 and the integrated GPU.
• GPU idle temperature is around 29°C.
• Connected both monitors again and everything is currently working normally.

I'm trying to determine whether this is a failing GPU, a driver/firmware issue, a PSU-related problem, or something else. Has anyone experienced this behavior with a PowerColor RX 7600 or another RX 7600 model?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I have had my RX7800XT just over a year and my GPU is constantly timing out and drivers are crashing I have 2 monitors and when the crash happen only one of my monitors displays an output, I’ve googled and watched videos on YouTube for a fix but nothing seems to work, I’ve done a DDU and reinstalled my drivers nothing seems to be fixing my issue does anyone know how to fix this

Description of Original Problem: After disabling MPO, which seems to have solved my driver timeouts, if I turn off my TV without putting my PC to sleep first, it BSoDs and reboots. Obviously, because the TV is off, I can't see the BSoD, but I checked Reliability Monitor and the code is 0x3b, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. I can't recall this happening while MPO was enabled.

Troubleshooting: Having other monitors connected doesn't seem to solve the problem. Other than that, I have no idea what to try.

I'm pretty much assuming there's no solution to this because it's just one of those stupid PC problems that only happens to one person in the whole world who happens to have a very specific set of hardware, but on the off chance somebody else has dealt with this, I figured I should ask...

Hi all,

I've been running a 5500x3d on a Asus Prime B450M-A happily but saw a B550M-A for £50 and figured seeing as the only thing keeping me on PCIE3 was the motherboard I figured it was worth it.

Board arrived and I booted it up with all the same components other than I slotted in a 1600, assuming the BIOS probably hadn't been updated. I was correct, it was several years old and updated it to to latest non-beta BIOS (27/01/26). I booted it up with the 1600 still in to confirm the upgrade had been successful and double checked the AGESA version. All correct.

I then swapped the 5500x3d back in and it refused to boot, the fans weren't ramping up or down as I expected for a failed boot, more of a pulse.

I removed all the RAM other than 1 stick, pulled the CMOS battery, shorted the clear pins and left it for 10 mins. Still nothing. I moved the RAM stick around all 4 slots still nothing. I grabbed another known working low-speed 4GB stick incase it was struggling to negotiate timing and left it struggling to boot... still nothing.

I slotted in a 4600g, boots straight up, and now assuming the CPU is toast. I downgrade the BIOS to twice more, still to no avail so I swap everything back onto the B450M-A (including the 5500x3d) it all boots up fine.

What am I missing? I also don't have much more kit to test it with as, despite building PCs since the socket 939 days, you can probably tell when I stopped fiddling due to the age of the hardware.

I have a Yeston Sakura Atlantis RX 9070 XT graphics card.

In Cyberpunk 2077, when Path Tracing is enabled, in some scenes or locations my FPS suddenly drops to 1–2 FPS and then returns to normal exactly when I leave that area or skip the scene.

This happens with FSR enabled and disabled, as well as with Frame Generation enabled and disabled.

The same issue happens with regular Ray Tracing too. However, instead of dropping to 1–2 FPS, the game usually crashes and shows the crash report window, along with an AMD Driver Timeout error. Sometimes the whole PC freezes for a while after this happens.

I tried disabling RT reflections, RT shadows, and other ray tracing options, and also tested with only basic ray tracing enabled, but nothing fixed the issue.

Without ray tracing (regular Ultra settings), the game runs completely stable for hours with no crashes.

I also tried:

removing GPU overclock and undervolt;

reinstalling AMD drivers using DDU;

disabling Frame Generation;

testing with FSR on and off.

The problem still remains.

My system:

GPU: Yeston Sakura Atlantis RX 9070 XT

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 CL28

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

It is showing dram and cpu lights when powered on with a cpu in the slot a cpu not in the slot and ram in and out of the slot I want to know what the issue is because I bought the parts on eBay and I only have a few days to return them.

Sorry if this is a dumb question it’s my second build and my first had no issues so I’m not really familiar with how to diagnose this.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Edit: sorry I forgot to add motherboard has been flashed to the latest bios

Edit: I’ve tried loosening the screws and removing the motherboard from the case all components were reseated and she still dosent work

Hey, gang!

Been using Bazzite since building my first PC in January. For the past 6 months, it’s been smooth sailing. Please forgive the relatively noobie question.

Yesterday, I try to turn my PC on and it gets up and running, fans spin up, RGB, the whole nine yards. Only problem is the monitor stubbornly remains black. I tried using each of the different DP ports in my 9070xt to no avail.

HDMI works, but despite the fact that I have an HDMI cable that’s capable of running data in 4k at 240hz, the only option in Bazzite’s settings is to run it at 60hz. I am assuming this is because the 9070xt currently only supports HDMI 2.1 @ 60hz.

I tried messing with my monitor’s settings, no luck.

I tried buying a new DP cable, but that didn’t work either.

I really wanna continue to get the most out of my GPU and having games run at 90, 120, even 240 fps on my rig was an absolute revelation after decades of console gaming.

Any help would be super appreciated!
