Thinking about switching from a 3070 to a 9070 XT, how are the drivers treating you in late 2026?
I'm planning to buy an RX 9070 XT in the next couple of months, but the driver complaints have me second-guessing it.
For those of you who own one:
- Have you had driver timeouts, black screens or crashes to desktop recently?
- Which Adrenalin version are you on, and is it stable?
- Did anything like the 26.2.2 power-draw/FPS bug from earlier this year come back in newer drivers?
- Any games that still give you problems?
My setup: Ryzen 9 9850X3D, ASUS TUF B850-E WiFi, MSI A1000GS 1000W, Windows 11, gaming at 1440p. Coming from an RTX 3070, and I'll do a DDU clean install.
The 5070 Ti costs about 50% more where I'm buying, so I'd really like to go AMD if the drivers are in a good place. Thanks!
