I was recommended to use AMD drivers 25.3.1 or 25.4.1, not 25.5.1, as they cause stability issues on some RX 9070s. I'm going to buy a 16GB 9060 XT, but I still want to install those drivers. (Obviously, that version is for the 9060 XT, not the 9070.)

Being new to AMD drivers, how are these different?

• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition

• AMD FSR Technical Preview

• Drivers Adrenalin 25.6.2 (WHQL Recommended) Drivers Adrenalin 25.6.2 (Optional)

Honestly, I feel like an idiot. I've spent months troubleshooting driver issues, stuttering, and Adrenalin crashes. I had BSOD and my computer would actually reboot while in game sometimes.... I thought I was safe because I had "Device Installation Settings" set to OFF in Windows.

Well, turns out this setting is complete bullshit. Windows still "ninja-installs" a generic driver the split second you reboot after a DDU wipe, even with that toggle off. It happens so fast you don't even see it, and then you install your actual driver on top of that mess. Result? Instant stability issues and weird errors.

The only way to actually fix it: Download your driver. Kill your internet. Physically unplug the Ethernet or disable your ethernet adapter / disable Wi-Fi. Run DDU in Safe Mode and restart. Install the new driver while OFFLINE.

Only then, put the internet back on.

Boom 💥, just did this and the difference is night and day, no more crashes in bf6, no more unstable UV and OC, 6800xt runs like a charm on latest drivers (26.5.1), awake screen from sleep works again...

If you're on AMD and fighting with your drivers, stop trusting the Windows toggles and just pull the damn plug.

EDIT: After going through the comments, I want to clear a few things up and own my mistake.

I didn't follow DDU's instructions to stay offline. I genuinely thought having Group Policy set to block drivers and the Windows toggle switched off was enough. Felt like I'd done everything right. I hadn't. Those settings are, bluntly, theater.

GPEdit and Device Installation Settings don't actually do anything

I trusted them for months. Turns out Windows just ignores its own rules. Even with Group Policy blocking driver installs and the toggle set to OFF, the second you reboot after a DDU wipe, the OS quietly pushes a generic driver anyway. You never see it happen. You think you're clean. You're not, and that's why Adrenalin keeps behaving weird.

Don't use the Auto-Detect tool

Just don't. Go to AMD's site, find your exact card, and download the full standalone package yourself (Adrenaline). Have it sitting on your desktop before you start the process.

The fix (no cable-pulling required)

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections > right-click your adapter > Disable.

The actual workflow:

Download driver > Disable network adapters > DDU in Safe Mode > Reboot > Install driver while offline > Re-enable adapters.

If Windows can reach the internet during that reboot, it will race you to the install and win. Disabling the adapter manually is the only way to guarantee it can't. Don't trust the toggles, they're simply not working. Windows doesn't care and bypass them.

Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics

Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround.

Hey guys,

after a while it's time to upgrade my GTX 1070 and my 1st option right now is the 7900xt.
For anyone wondering, the XTX is 200€+ more expensive in my country, so I'm not going for this. As an NVIDIA user for all my life, I'm a little bit scared about all the talk of the bad drivers of AMD.
Like game crashes, stuttering in games, high power draw in idle, stuttering while streaming and so on.
But the only other option on NVIDIA side is the 4070ti and especially the 12gb are just not future-proof enough for me.

So my question to all of you guys is: What is your experience?
Even if the drivers are buggy sometimes, is it worth to switch?
Are they even as buggy as all the talk goes?

Thanks for your help and honest opinions :)

Ok so I am building a new pc next week and I went ahead and got a xfx speedster 7700xt, but I am a little worried now after seeing so many people talking about AMD driver issues, so I was wondering if anyone had tips or tricks if I run into driver issues cause I want to stick it out and pray for the best lol.

Edit: throwing my build in here as well because might as well and the monitor is a 34” acer nitro not the tuf monitor . https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qWfgFZ

As stated in the title: Where are the driver updates for AMD graphics cards?

I have a 7900XTX and haven't received a driver update since November 2024. Multiple large titles have come out since then which could really use help with driver timeouts, crashes, and general performance since November. I feel like AMD is reverting back to their old days of terrible communication and a terrible driver release schedule. The 7XXX series launch and driver support over the last two years of owning that card has really left a bad taste in my mouth as a consumer and makes me regret switching from Nvidia. Just wanted to see if this was just me or if the community feels the same in general.

Also, if they don't pass on FSR 4 to the 7XXXX series cards I think I'm done with AMD for graphics cards.

Last time i asked if everyone's 26.5.2 and 26.5.1 Drivers were causing crashes, specifically display crashes during gameplay, or even while being in the browser - and there were huuuundreds of people agreeing (and some rude folk who HAD to spreading their jam as well) that the drivers were pretty unstable after around just 15min of runtime. According to my research (☝️🤓) most unlucky users had/were on a 9000 or 6000 series card such as myself (9070, 9070XT, 9060 etc.) and most lucky users who didn't experience any instabilities were on a 7000 Series card (7600XT, 7700XT etc.) and somehow XFX users were super lucky, but i guess their cards are top tier to begin with

I just updated to 26.6.1 so fingers crossed (thanks u/Copranicus for the indirect heads up)
