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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Black screen combined with pc lockup when I exit a long gaming session, is not funny nor simple. The fix until now is a Whql driver for some weird reason. o_O

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 :p
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"

can radeon VII owners OC in wattman with these again, or no? 19.7.5 was the last working driver for this

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.
