Yeah, the GPU drivers haven't been stable. Hell, one time they just stopped working completely and failed to recognize the card. Wut?

I mainly bounce between Diablo IV, War Thunder, Fusion360, PrusaSlicer and sometimes Blender. It doesn't always hang, but when it does, it's because I have been moving the apps back and forth between monitors. Multi-monitor support is buggy and that is absolutely a combination of the GPU drivers and the apps.

Yeah, I paid some coin, that is for sure. It is frustrating in that regard but I knew what I was getting into with AMD drivers. The first few generations of drivers are almost always garbage with new cards and they are showing improvements over the last few iterations of drivers.

Also, yes. I am tempted to give my 7900XTX to my daughter when the NVIDIA 5000 series drops. For now, I am just tolerating the issues. (I rarely had an issue with my 3070.)

No excuses here! The CPU is gold but the GPU drivers are shite. I am an extremely patient person though, so that helps.

I commend you on your zen master level of patience, haha. I'm only patient up to a degree and then it all goes out the window, heh.

I'm guessing you have the hotkey combination for rebooting the graphics drivers without having to reboot your PC? When I had a 5700 XT, that hotkey combo was a lifesaver (drivers on that would constantly hang for me as well).
