Thanks for confirming, at first I hear my computer continuing in the background without a picture then eventually it locks up requiring a reset, but it's never shown any ill effects once restarted, assuming yours the same?
Yes. Also lowering the volt too much causes the screen to enter search signal mode but I can see the screen.

I only test BFV 1080p low ingame settings render ahead off. Before the card was not passing 800mhz and it was stuttering mess. Now it never drops bellow 1000mhz and stuttering is gone. There is some but its from the game as it was with my 480.
only 1000?

He probably has a 5700 series and 1000mhz is enough for stability,, they are nothing like GCN at all

1000mhz+. Because with render ahead off (not recommended in this game) gpu utilization is bellow 70%. Going as low as 60%. This I blame the engine. With render ahead on or dx12 its close to 1800mhz.

Correct. With 5700 the gpu load is very important for the clocks and currently there no way to lock the clocks.

Well seems like putting a heavy load on the gpu fixes all issues with clocks.

Correct but there are some games that you want low settings high fps. It shouldn't be a problem. Its also common to try old games with your new card just to enjoy them with the better performance and it shouldn't behave like that.

I'm dissapointed with AMDs rx 5700 xt drivers. Bought a PowerColor red dragon card for my inlaw parents build, and have newer before experienced such massive instability issues. From what i'm reading it's a fairly common problem, but seldom mentioned by various reviewers. As for this build i'm using a riser cable, and wonder if any of you think that might cause issues? I have tried two different cables without any luck. Motherboard Gigabyte Aorus 570 itx pro wifi, cpu 3600.
Yes remove the riser. I would never use such a thing even if it came with the motherboard.

For my case the only problem is stuttering and downclocking. But seems new driver is improving all this.

I am superior to all those saying "everything is smooth". Since you don't encounter the same issues as someone whining for sth, better "keep it silent". I am no fanboy, I only want proper user experience. Surely support will not come by only two stable drivers per year. Relax now.
Whether it is Nvidia or AMD, open-source or proprietary, mGPU or single, I always encounter someone who finds a reason to complain and thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Aside from the fact that just isn't true, the grass on your side is never as brown as you think it is either. Almost every time I've ever heard someone complain about driver issues, my first reaction is always "what did you do to screw it up?" because for me, it's never as bad as people claim it is. If you want to play games where "it just works", get a console. PCs require you to tinker. More often than not, something not working properly is the user's fault, unless of course it is confirmed to be a [near-]unanimous issue. This isn't directed at just you, but a wide range of people who say "X driver is so much worse than Y" when other people using the same driver don't get the same problem. God forbid you make a mistake... people just have to blame someone else.

From getting officially tested driver once a month, we went to once per 2 or 3 months. Stability over performance any time. Console gaming, shouldn't be more stable than PC gaming in 2020. Considering all consoles use AMD hardware years now. Beta OS, beta drivers, I am full of this ****. 🙂
WHQL is nothing more than a test to see if drivers work on a set of different types of hardware. It's not an extensive test to spot any bugs, it's more a compatibility test. You can't expect much from a free test, it used to cost 250 $ for a single test. A non-whql driver does not mean beta by any means. Consoles use a custom OS and 1 single type of hardware, there are no software layers or a million different hardware setups to take in account.

Most of the time is sad but true 😎 As a Windows Power User I can say if something is broken -> most of the time i have it broke cuz' the Tweaks 😛 But on other side of the matter -> Thanks to this im experimenting and learning + finding some new interesting Tweaks. I never complain, but searching for solution instead. Never give up is my motto. 19.11.3 has some bugs, but only in one UE3 game -> The Bards Tale IV (hair render is broken) I will install this one 😉 and check it out. UPD. The bug in The Bards Tale IV (hair render) is still present. UPD.2 Similar 3Dmark score, this one is good enough. Overall good driver, need more testing.

Nor should you - it's a good one. Encountering problems with drivers, especially for something as complex as a GPU, is inevitable. I acknowledge that I've encountered problems with a wide arrange of drivers from a wide arrange of platforms and configurations, but very rarely was it specifically a driver issue. And like you, sometimes it's a matter of just finding a solution, because often there is.

Just upgraded to these from 19.10.2 because of the "Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products may experience stutter in some games at 1080p and low game settings." fix. Curious to see if this changes the core clock fluctuations. I am praying that the dreaded and nightmarish black screen freeze issue does not make its comeback for me, seeing that users on the AMD forums still experience the issue and is still listed in the known issues.

We have older cards now ... but still driver level performance improvement for new titles will continue to "help"

This alone might be a good reason for me to give this driver a go.... I've had to run DA2 using VSR and an in-game resolution of 2560x1440 to fix stuttering for the last 2 years....

I never claimed "everything is smooth"....lol. Far from it actually. I've just learned to work around issues on a game-by-game basis. I'm throwing together a system for my son later this week, and judging by the NVidia driver section, I can expect to be finding work-arounds for every little issue in NVidia's drivers as well. Judging by those driver threads, NVidia is doing no better..... Personally, if everything "just worked"....I'd get bored and have to find a new hobby.

Driver seems fine but this version brought back the laggy Radeon Settings that was fixed in 19.10.1 🙁
Never bothered me that much. Nvidia control panel is laggy last ten years.

There's a bunch of startup entries too which I think are for the Link (Mobile app.) entering into AMD Experience and then a outdated entry for the overlay and the Radeon Settings startup entry itself. Link and AMD Experience would be nice as optional opt-in via the Radeon Setting software itself, outdated entry targeting a exe that no longer exists in current versions of Radeon Settings should just be removed if it's not used for anything else. (But it's easy enough to remove these and the Radeon Settings startup entry too if desired before rebooting after the driver is done installing.) Toggle for notifications wouldn't be bad but it's mostly the one for a new driver being installed and the one for the settings being defaulted in Wattman if the GPU driver crashes. Not a fan of the advisor but eh every now and then there's a entry for enabling VSR and enhanced sync which are easy enough to delete until they pop up again. 😛 EDIT: And a survey for after the driver installation is done though just aborting the page load stops it think it sends some HW info to AMD or something? (This GPU, this driver something like that.)

I've been having tons of crashes with any driver past 19.7.5 also with RX 580 8GB (has never been 100% stable), totally random lockups, was playing the new Star Wars Fallen Order... which has save points, so when it crashes I have to do it all again, it was driving me up the wall, getting really heated (not the card, just me). The Radeon settings have gotten to bloated, takes ages to load, it detects all my games, but you can't remove all profiles at once, only one at a time :/ If I want the overlay to work I first have to open the Radeon settings. In task manager there is 5 processes to do with just the graphics card, even if you never installed Relive. Amdow, Amdrsserv, Atieclxx, Atiesrxx, RadeonSettings.. No overclocking headroom even with giant supplied coolers. Tearing while watching videos.. freesync enabled on both monitor and card. I want the performance of a new 5700 XT and a Ryzen cpu, but don't want all the issues.
