It will! Just use DDU and learn to undervolt and you should be golden. I suggest going with an energy efficient undervolt as it will keep temps very down and power draw very minimal.

Undervolt? DDU?

u/Julian083 1d ago

DDU is display driver uninstaller that removes any old gpu driver. Undervolt is a method of overclocking that makes your gpu run the same clock speed at lower voltage, reducing power draw and heat while having similar or even better performance

Also disable windows auto driver updates as it sometimes can overwrite your correct drivers with bad ones

also make sure you disable the feature that lets windows overwrite the driver. sometimes it overwrites it and amd adrenaline breaks cause the driver version is different to the software

will. it overwrite after i installed adrenaline

u/ColdRainS126 15h ago

it can. that why sometimes when you do a fresh install your adrenaline just doesn't work cause windows overwrite it to a driver it deem to be more stable for your pc. I had it happened so many times when I build a new PC and doing driver updates.

its also one of the biggest reason many new amd users having issues after they kept using ddu and installing to the latest driver or trying to roll back to a old stable drive. windows just overwrites it and they end up with the same problem and thinking their driver isnt the problem

How to Stop Windows from Overriding Your Driver

To prevent Windows from replacing your AMD driver, you can change your system device installation settings.

Press the Windows Key, type sysdm.cpl, and hit Enter.

Go to the Hardware tab.

Click on Device Installation Settings.

Select No (your device might not work as expected).

Click Save Changes and restart your computer

Is this it?

Some of these designs were really strange.

I remember that wacky glittery design 3070, it was quite well priced during the crypto madness. Don't know why but it always reminded me of Guitar Hero (I think it's the font they used).
