I DDU everytime.
My config is Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 32GB RAM, WIN11.
25.9.2 just restarts my PC after like 10 to 20% install and sometimes I can see AMD Adrenalin even but ... it's a messy install only goes through when I click on it a second time without DDU lmao. And my games crash.
While 25.9.1 installs normally after DDU and games don't crash.

This one installed without crashing for me so definitely better first impressions than 25.9.2. Gonna test it a bit further in a few hours.

Damn that's pretty interesting and shows a huge advencement for AMD.
At launch the average for 18 games was 4% faster on the 9070, now it's 13% in 23 titles.

I have a really weird one with HDR - HDR has worked fine on my PS5 and Series X and I am using the same cable on my PC as I did with those 2.
One thing I have noticed that I find strange - if I turn HDR on my PS5 the TV will flag in Game Bar or in the top right that a HDR signal is active/being received.
When I turn HDR on in Windows the screen flashes black as it turns on but my TV doesnt seem to recognise or acknowledge that there is a HDR signal there - I have the enhanced HDMI port on and plugged into the 2.1 port as well.
Auto-HDR has broken my machine too much for me to want to try it again - I did really like that feature on Xbox though so its a shame.
Another weird thing I have found is my GPU specs (Sapphire Pulse 9070XT) doesnt mention HDMI 2.1 at all - just says it has HDMI and Display Port 2.1 - would it be better for me to use a Display port to HDMI cable?

HDR looks shit for me on PC (my monitor doesn't have proper HDR, but it looked shit on my TV as well).
According to this it's 2.1b https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/sapphire-pulse-rx-9070-xt.b12275
2x HDMI 2.1b
2x DisplayPort 2.1a

Yeah doesn't look good for me either - have a Samsung QLED. Console looked good though.
Cheers for that link - wonder why the official site and even the box doesn't mention the hdmi spec

My mate has no issues on his monitor either - seems it's just my TV that's the issue!

Im rocking 7800x3D with RX 9070XT. Got it significantly cheaper than 9800x3D - not to mention I have an AsRock mobo so it would be risky. Havent have hit 100% CPU usage in any game.
Even MP.
EDIT: COD sits mostly at 50% while 7600 had 100% usage and Helldivers 2 hits like 50-70% tops for me.
