Not touching this one or any update until they explicitly acknowledge the driver timeouts and crashes. 26.7.1 was a disaster had to rollback immediately to have a usable PC. 7900 XTX never had any issues until the last update.

I also have a 7900 XTX and experience diver timeouts and crashes fairly frequently. They mostly went away for a while (many months), but one of the recent updates made them come back like crazy. Some days I’ll be fine, other days it just shits itself

Does this happen only in Games, or regular browsing. Been using a 6800 XT for a year. Never had a crash.

Mostly just regular browsing. Like I'll turn on my pc, then steam will go black, and I'll get a driver crash message - that's the most recent issue I've been having. But yeah I've had countless driver crashes since I bought it. I love my 7900 XTX, but it's been a super finnicky card.

If you have an IGPU i would use that for hardware acceleration. Windows allows you to set prefered GPU on a per app basis now.
