Issues with games on RX 7900 XT graphics card
Games stop working after just a few minutes, sometimes even seconds. The issue starts with intense visual glitches lasting about a second, then a brief freeze of 1-2 seconds. System details: motherboard ASUS Prime B650-Plus (BIOS from American Megatrends Inc., dated 11/21/2022), CPU Ryzen 9 7900X, GPU SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 7900 XT, power supply Corsair HX1000 (1000W), RAM two 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600MHz sticks. Recent changes: updated Windows 11 Pro, applied all available updates through Settings, installed AMD Software Adrenalin Edition v23.1.1, no driver updates needed.
I would start with a basic light game to test functionality. If it fails, switch to using your GPU card’s output on the MB HDMI connection via the built-in graphics driver. This helps determine if the issue lies with the card. Make sure the cable is firmly connected in the card and that it’s properly seated in the PCI slot.
If the game runs smoothly, the problem likely resides with the card itself. Verify the connection at the hardware level. Consider testing the GPU on another system to confirm compatibility.
If you visit a store, they may replace the card for free under warranty. If it works elsewhere, investigate further causes and request a replacement if needed.
This might indicate a compatibility problem (likely Win 11 with new RX 7000 drivers). Testing on a different GPU would be recommended.
I just verified it and the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition app indicates version 23.1.1 is current as of 1/29/23 0510 CST. Could there be an option inside the app to access a newer release, such as 23.1.2, which might still be in development?
I changed to the integrated graphics and tried a game that previously crashed but with low graphics settings. The results were: First try – the game stopped working after about two minutes, then it resolved itself and showed an error (attached). Second try – after recovering from the first failure, I kept playing and the game finally crashed completely without any further messages.
Thanks for the note! I've saved the file, started a game with similar past issues, and experienced the same stuttering followed by a crash.
did you perform a completely new setup of windows or simply restore the current system? if you have backups, attempt to load one from before this problem started. should integrated graphics cause difficulties together with issues from your AMD card, it might point to software conflicts rather than hardware faults. as noted in previous discussions, try connecting your GPU to a functional machine to confirm its operation, which can ease concerns about its functionality. windows can sometimes behave unpredictably, so keeping a spare SSD clone of your system is wise for quick recovery. remember that a fresh install may skip installing all necessary files for Direct X, which can lead to games failing to launch properly—especially if the required libraries are missing. you can download the full installation from the official Microsoft site. this advice applies if you’re experiencing problems after a recent windows update and running games that previously worked without issues. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/wi...w=msvc-170 helps ensure all dependencies are present, preventing errors caused by missing DLLs. also consider checking the Microsoft download page for specific game requirements. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download...aspx?id=35 may assist, though results vary depending on your setup and the version of Direct X you’re using. the main drawback is the time invested in troubleshooting.
