Switching to AMD for the first time any tips?
Posted by Vekxt@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 11 comments
just upgraded from the 3060 ti to the 9070xt, is there anything good I can miss in the AMD software? and do I install the driver from the website or direct from the software?

Adrenaline has 1-click overclocking & undervolting settings built in, as well as the option for more thorough performance tweaks. No need for Afterburner or anything. It also rolls in a lot of the features you'd normally expect in GFE.
If you have an AMD CPU it can also tie into Ryzen Master.

I have the same card. Windows likes to updates drivers and remove AMD drivers for some reason. If you can’t use AMD Adrenaline software, reinstall the drivers from the website and it should fix it. This is also my first AMD card, but it’s working great!

I'm on win10 still hope there is no updates there, but I Will disable anyway

Make sure you use DDU to properly uninstall the Nvidia drivers before doing a fresh install of the AMD ones. You'll run into issues otherwise.
I did the exact same upgrade and found that having everything off except the FSR upscaling in the adrenaline software works best for me

Adding to this, run DDU in safe mode rather than when booted into your standard windows desktop

Adding to this, make sure you either unplug your ethernet cable/disconnect wifi or turn off automatically updates for windows as windows will try to install drivers automatically if connected to internet.

Windows limit and card performance switch to Linux for max performance cachyos is good Besides switching to Linux the best thing you can do is full reinstall get a live usb delete the partition and install onto empty space people will say ddu but this is better and nothing is left

After you get the software, you're set. As for settings, look up a video on youtube like "best settings for AMD software gpus." That will go through every setting.
I have been hearing some people having issues with drivers on that card. If that's the case just downgrade your drivers. That you would have to download directly from their site, and turn off auto updates.

Always install driver from website
