7900XTX Driver Timeout Error: Investigation Efforts

[Colin1374]

I am trying to get to the bottom of why the 7900xtx is having a ton of reports about Driver Timeout Issues (and potentially the 7900xt, not sure if it's having the issue too but am including it in this). There are a lot of threads on AMD's support forums and on Reddit.

So I have created a Google Form for people to fill out. If you found this thread in hopes of fixing your issue, please spend a few minutes filling this out. By no means is this something the internet should "fix" on behalf of AMD, but AMD seems to not be treating this with it's full respect. Hopefully we can figure out a common factor here.

 

Form:

Sheet (results): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HQBCHRKClQ61d1WLQbXkCeysFVdkYweDNGJEE6Ivjvg/edit?resourcekey#gid=1666910498

The short answer is probably "yeah AMD just needs to fix their drivers" but being on the side of not knowing exactly why this issue is so common, the best I think I can contribute is to see if the community can create a dataset or at the very least show AMD how common this is.

I am not collecting emails and I am not collecting PII (completely anonymous)

Just a quick search on AMD's forum and r/AMDHelp and you can find these threads...this is NOT just a few people.
