In the meantime, NVIDIA has released a hotfix driver that fixes a CPU usage bug with the “Container” service. Both companies were forced to release updates that fixed some critical issues.ĪMD had to remove an option to reset the driver settings (factory reset) during a new installation because this could lead to problems with the operating system when Windows updates were running in the background. Neither AMD nor NVIDIA had any luck with the latest driver versions. – UL Jarnis Source: 3DMark/Osvaldo Doederlein In other news, AMD has apparently reproduced this internally and it is starting to look more and more like a driver issue, so at this time I can only offer “rollback to previous or ignore and wait for future driver fixes”.

No similar group of very low scores appear on the results with the previous driver version. Among all results with the new driver, approximately 3% of the results show abnormal (very low) scores on Time Spy. new driver on any result using 7900XT or XTX and can confirm that this appears to be a real, if very rare issue. If this were such an issue, it would have also come up during driver approval testing but that process saw nothing odd with the latest drivers when they were tested.īut we also looked at our database to compare results on the previous driver vs. So we know at this time that this is not a general issue that affects everyone with 7900XT/XTX. We have not been able to reproduce this in our test lab at this time. However, AMD’s driver team had more success with it, although the issue has not yet been added to the list of known issues for the latest driver.

Probably because such a small number of affected systems are reported, the company has not been able to reproduce this problem internally. The UL/3DMark developer confirms that about 3% of users might be affected. The problem reportedly affects the TimeSpy benchmarking software in particular and leads to significantly worse results.

The problem was reported by Osvaldo Doederlein (Software Engineer at Google), who noticed a performance drop when using the latest Radeon drivers for his RX 7900 XTX GPU.
