RX 460 Crashing/Instability

[dragonhart6505]

Recently I've been boasting how well and how much my RX 460 performs in benchmarks, gaming etc. Well not so much anymore and I don't know why.

The only thing that has changed in my system is an update to my Windows Insider Preview version to the latest, that being 1709/16288.1 (Fast Lane updates if it matters). That's it...nothing else has changed. No new software, no new game installs, no prior crashes...nothing.

Now I've noticed that I can't clock my GPU (XFX 4GB RX 460) nearly as high as I used to, 1340mhz/2000mhz (core/memory) and even at lower clocks like 1320/1900 I get inconsistent performance and artifacting. Temperatures are where they have been prior to my updating Windows.

I have done a DDU, I have tried resetting Windows to a backup I made just before the update. Nope...still messed up.

This is why I never updated my Windows version. It used to just work and I was happy. Figured I'd get curious and enable my updates to come through again and...well...screwed.

Did Windows potentially screw me up? I am not reinstalling my entire Windows OS. I've had enough of doing that.

It probably is the preview. It technically isn't considered stable, therefore, GO BACK TO NORMAL WINDOWS 10 1709

Would be lovely if only my installed OS wasnt based solely on the Insider Program. I don't have a normal Windows install, strictly Insider
