Adrenalin 23.1.1: AMD 7900 XTX works now the 23.1.2

I recently bought the new AMD 7900 XTX which replaced the old 5700 XT used until then in my system.
The first feedbacks were quite negative not about the possible overheating (thank God my GPU works well from this aspect) but about its use with Resolve which was bad.
The arrival of the new version of Adrenalin 23.1.1 has RADICALLY changed the scenario: now the speed in Resolve has really changed and the rendering times using the AMD option have become very fast (a 300% increase at least)
I am really satisfied
and you?
PS also my son with his videogames addiction says that now the performances are really good with no crash when the setup is at the highest levels

Overheating issues were overblown by clickbait youtubers. Especially that german guy that seemed a little salty about not receiving a card to review.

In games its between a 4080 and a 4090 which is not too shabby.

Regarding its use in Resolve it was never bad, Puget has it at the top of their charts. Glad it works great for you. Look for the new drivers coming this month or next month that will further reduce power consumption (Or so they promised).

About the use with Resolve: with previous driver (the last of 2022) the performances were (sadly) similar to the ones with 5700 XT GPU (not what I was expecting for) with the new one 23.1.1 I see a real quantum leap with stellar increase in every aspect of the use of Resolve. I have read of course the review of Puget but this is my experience with the card and NOW I'm really very happy of the purchase

Glad it’s working but please refrain from shouting (all caps)

Sorry thanks

Any connent or personal experience about?

and with 23.1.2 for the first time it seeme better but after few times the performances became worst
AMD Has cancelled this version of the driver
BE AWARE dont use it stay on 23.1.1 it works great

and with 23.1.2 now delivered even better....

Cool. What footage do you use with Resolve? I'm waiting on upgrading myself, so far everything works ok with my 6800XT. Dealing mostly with ArriRAW/RED/CDNG/BRAW.

I work with BRAW in 4k only and with the new driver the 7900 XTX is really workhorse of GPU really fast and stable not so with the first driver
but now all works really fine

Great to hear. I'm waiting for AIB cards and the new 16 core X3D CPUs then decide if the upgrade is worth it. Nice to hear its an improvement in BRAW especially. H264 and H265 matter less to me personally.

DONY USE 23.1.2 Adrenalin after few days it doesnt work at all with Resolve

Did you use DDU before upgrading the drivers? Or at least factory reset option. Usually stuff doesn't break like this in between small updates.

Or another culprit for Windows and other software acting bonkers is the fast startup option. If you have this on, the computer doesn't reboot properly and goes into a sort of hibernation state and the drivers and software might suffer. Its recommended to disable this feature on desktops.

Yes, EVERY PC user should disable Fast Startup. Good move.

actually as said I run agian the 23.1.1 option
There are problems with the 23.1.2 as the new oprtin is not aviable from the AMD website as you can see if you go to find it but only with an hiden link.
I do think theay have found some bugs.
I reapet with 23.1.1 Resolve work at light speed not with 23.1.2

I do everything as you say BUT the 23.1.2 slows down Davinci with no reason why. I do think we have to wait for 23.1.3

Is 23.1.2 a recommended or optional driver version?

at the moment is not aviable officially.. as you can see if you go the AMD download page
Remenber: the last drivers are ONLY for 7900 GPUs

You sure it was the official driver? There's a problem with Google that if you search for AMD drivers, sometimes to certain people there's an AD at the top of the page that leads you to a website that kinda looks like AMD's website but contains only malware.

absolutely sure!!
I have istalled the 23.1.2 from AMD website BUT it was a mess so I have downgraded to 23.1.1 and all now works fine.
Theare are news on the net about the 23.1.2 but a) nobody speaks about the bugs prensent in this relaese b) at the moment the 23.1.2 seems desappeared from the official download page of AMD
A mistery BUT usinf the 23.1.1 all goes well (very very well with DaVinci - the previus relaese was a mess too)

It's still on this AMD page

Must be another dud AMD driver release they've swept under the carpet, . Nvidia Studio drivers much more reliable. Just a more professional and larger team an Nvidia. I think I've heard AMD stopped upgrading the drivers on every other GPU except the 7000 series for the last 2 months.

It really is shocking. People who buy AMD know this already, but will still buy if the price is right. I could never.

Non WHQL recommended drivers like 23.1.2 are beta drivers, thats why people are not talking about bugs and most likely why it was removed. I'm sure it will pop up again.

AMD releases beta drivers on a monthly basis. This doesnt mean everyone has to update to the latest. Its also bad practice if something works fine to fiddle with it. I'm on 22.10.3. Its been rock stable, no reason to update yet.

As for some people that think nvidia is better driver wise, hah, they can only search this forum and see the plethora of issues with the drivers. But boy do they love to pretend that nvidia drivers are hyperbolically better with solid arguments like trust me bro and a friend of a friend on youtube told me amd drivers are evil.

This is what happens when people listen to youtubers. Just recently, there was a german youtuber, a real professional, that claimed the latest drivers cracked the gpu dies. Nah, it wasnt the power washing from a shady mining rig, it was the drivers. When confronted with the truth, he made a video weaseling out of the backlash while never removing the first video. And the missinformation continues to spread, one youtuber to the next.

Why are we then constantly reading about troubles with Nvidia drivers here on the forum and advices to roll them back?
Every time I hear about bad AMD drivers, I'll pull the "GPU memory full" argument.
I have delivered dozens of shorts on bad AMD drivers with almost no sweat.

with the last DaVince release 18.1.3 downloaded today it seems again that the GPU slows down
it's clear that AMD and BMD dont speak each other about upgrades..
it's a pity...

I don't remember that happening, not with studio drivers, I recall a roll back 2 years ago, but they were for game ready drivers, which people shouldn't be using, so didn't affect me 2 years ago either

6800XT here. No slowdowns with 18.1.3

It's either RDNA3 related or something on your PC that is causing the slowndown.

Apparently it's been nearly 3 months since AMD updated your drivers, you've been forgotten about, so would not expect any changes, your chance for new bad drivers is coming in the next 2 weeks apparently.

Just use whatever works for you and let the naysayers be miserable.

I mean they must be suffering from "memory full" errors. They are overly concerned about amd driver release cadence and have amnesia about nvidia driver issues. Its quite astonishing to watch.

Funny that you posted this, since the whole media frenzy started from one of my tweets about it and was picked up first by WCCFtech website followed by the rest.

And to put down the driver lack of updates i'm currently using the may 22.5.2 driver and not the latest ones, it works just fine.

When i had the 1080Ti there were drivers that also behaved badly with Resolve, especially Studio ones, which ironically are tailored for professionals.

If something works, don't change it!

PS: me using the old 22.5.2 driver and not the latest 22.11.2 has nothing to do with Resolve but with Edge hardware acceleration.

Both drivers ran fine for Resolve.

The 7900 XTX tends to easily fullfill its own memory with DaVinci lowering a lot the speed of the rendering sessions.
If you using keyboard command reset the driver all returns to work fine

This is normal behaviour to any functional gpu. It overflows to system ram when vram is filled. System raw being slower will cause slowdowns.

What others refer to gpu memory full is the actual error message in Resolve that happens mostly to nvidia gpu users where the gpu stops rendering if you exceed vram. And its probably cuda related.

Can you guys check if Resolve respects the bitrate limit for your systems while using the AMD Encoder option?

I have issues with Resolve respecting this setting For example if i select a 9100 kb/s max target the file will have around 20000 kb/s bitrate

I want to see if other people with AMD GPUs experience the same issue

Resolve version is 18.1.3
Driver 23.2.2

I put the restriction to 2500 Kb/s I got 10 mbps. It seems the AMD encoder takes it as a goal but limits itself to maintain quality.

Nope, this didn't happen before. I think the latest Resolve updates triggered this issue.

So far no answer from any official about it.

Did the test in V17, got 3500 Kb/s when 2500 was required but I had to use a different project and 50 fps so I'm not sure if the comparison is valid.

I have the same issue. Restrict to bitrate is 100Mb/s, exported is 242Mb/s. Do we know if this is a recent AMD driver issue or Davinci Resolve issue? Is it possible to revert to an older version and fix this?

AMD Adrenalin: 23.3.1
DaVinci Resolve Studio: 18.1.4 Build 9

I was contacted by AMD's driver support team to give more details about the issue.

I initially took the issue on Twitter with Frank Azor from AMD about it and he instantly passed it to the driver team.

Thing is that this issue is only with Resolve, not with other software, yet no official response about it from anybody at BMD.

PS: i tried older driver, same issue
