    Do you have anything else running in the background? 100% isn't necessarily bad, but more likely that a game is GPU bound. When that does happen, do you check your GPU temp? Also, depends on how demanding your running the system at too. Are you pushing 4K very high settings? Or are you locking the FPS down with V-sync?

    I know this topic is old, but I had my 9070XT do this to me recently as well. Battlefield 6 was constantly crashing but no other game was on Windows 10. I tried pulling updates, but W10 didn't pick up anything. What fixed it for me was going to Windows 11. Once I upgraded, I went back to Windows Update and it immediately picked up AMD Graphics Drivers for my device manager. From there, I did a clean install of AMD Adrenaline and the latest AMD driver. Restarted, and no game, including Battlefield 6, has crashed on me. That's also with XMP on with no special GPU profiles or tuning running.

      Well, I'm running both teams. 14900k for the CPU and 9070XT for GPU 😀

      Now all you need is a motherboard with an Nvidia nForce chipset 😛

    Anyone have a 9070XT? Do you like the performance? I was running a 7900XT with no issues but I'm rotating GPUs so my wife has an upgrade for her rig.

      If you're playing games and you don't use fancy features, there's not much of a difference between the two.

    BIOS was already up to date. Checked Gigabyte's site and there isn't any new updates. I've checked temps and volts while idle and gaming, but nothing out of the ordinary or unusual spikes occurred.

    It's been awhile since I've had an intel build. I came into hands with a 13700k and got a z790 motherboard. Is there anything that I need to know about the platform? I know 13th and 14th gen CPUs were having issues with voltage, is it still something to worry about? I haven't ran intel since the 6700k.

    Loved my 6700XT, but this 7900XT is absolutely chewing through any game I throw at it 😍

    All panels suffer from backlight bleeding, and being a certain type of panel doesn't make it inherently better or worse. It's just down to the manufacturing techniques and it can still be an issue on any panel.

    MSI is at $280. LG is at $250

    Wanting to upgrade my monitor. Never had an ultrawide and I'm torn on these two. Any advice or suggestions? I know the LG one has HDR but the MSI one doesn't. I'm leaning more to the LG MSI- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S8W3MMM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 LG- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B928B6BC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

    With Opera GX, you can also limit the resources that are used in the browser as well.

    Probably something to do with the install. Intel to Intel is fine, but AMD to Intel isn't. There's more of a process to go through since its different chipsets and drivers.
  16. SirWendall
    Maybe chipset drivers? Wouldn't hurt to make sure those are up to date.
