RX 6800 Red Devil lagging

[Soulspatch]

Hi, I'm running and AMD 3600 GPU and an RX 6800 Red Devil by Power Colour on a ROG Strix B-450-F, with 32 Gb of RAM, on a Samsung G7 32 inch.  My mouse rubber bands on desk top, and games have a huge stutter when playing.  World of Tanks is almost unplayable.  I have the latest drivers and everything else is up to date.  Temps are all good.  My old R9 290X Vapor-X was smoother than this on my old LG 34UC97-S, 4k @ 60 hz.  All my hardware is new, and I was careful to match it to avoid bottlenecks.  Is this just a shitty AMD driver issue?  All this only started when I changed from my LG monitor to the G7.

most likely a driver issue. Could be OS issue, that has not downloaded a suitable update to remedy or fix your issue. 

 

I would scour forums for the last most stable AMD driver. GPU drivers (from all providers) are as such where some versions are just bad forever. And some versions are smooth, even for newer hardware. Tho RX 6000 series is so fresh, there may not be a that sort of a stable roll back version.

Did you remove the old driver and install the new one? If not, use DDU, reboot and install the latest drivers.

If that doesn't fix it, create a backup, do a clean install and run Windows update. Install the chipset drivers from AMD and the latest graphics driver.

I run 20.12.2 on a 6800 XT and have 0 issues. You could also try 20.11.2 WHQL.

Run AMDcleanuputility, since previous driver is an AMD one, then reboot (ensure that you've downloaded the latest driver - although some have said 20.11.2 is better iirc - and that you're NOT connected online as Windows would sometimes try to install some crap old driver), and install the driver you want. I had an RX 6800 before upgrading to an RX 6900 XT, it was awesome and I'd had no issue with it running games....only Metro Exodus has CTD issue, especially with RT enabled (tho even without RT, it'd CTD randomly). I'm on 20.12.1 since the fixes in 20.12.2 doesn't interest me.

Also make sure you don't have manufacturer "malware" installed. I had severe issues with my 6800xt due to Msi Dragon Center.

I worked it out.  Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.  The video card was giving priority the the HDMI slot over the display port, the HDMI was out putting sound for my home theatre system.  It took a few hours playing with the display settings, but it all working sweat now.  Smooth as.
