I tweeted about my woes and an AMD representative emailed me within minutes.
It is a deeply frustrating experience, and one that would be disastrous for a standard PC gamer. Googling the issue surfaced this WCCFTech article from mid-February along with plenty of other coverage, citing numerous user reports of Adrenalin 23.2.1 destroying their Windows installs. Backup your data! #AMD #Driver - CapFrameX February 15, 2023 It turns out that checking that box, done in conjunction with a silent Windows update occurring in the background without my knowledge, probably led to my rig’s downfall.īe careful when you install the latest Adrenalin 23.2.1. Then I installed the driver, checking the box to perform a “factory reset” clean installation rather than an upgrade-in-place. I opened up Chrome, navigated to AMD’s website, and downloaded the WQHL-certified Adrenalin 23.2.2 drivers that the site recommended for a 7900 XT. I then used the fantastic DDU Uninstaller tool to ensure that Nvidia’s bits were truly and completely eradicated, and rebooted. I then used Windows 10’s Add and Remove Programs tool to uninstall all Nvidia software from my PC and rebooted. Then, I powered down the system and replaced the 4070 Ti with the Radeon RX 7900 XT.

Manjaro, being a rolling release, updates to the latest stable mesa driver every month. mesa-git from the Arch User Repo (development release).Default Manjaro mesa drivers (these have ACO enabled by default).I have run 1-2 benchmarks between options 1-4 here and have noticed small gains with the Git version of Mesa but nothing groundbreaking, there can also be new bugs introduced with development versions or even an update which stops your window manager from starting so just keep that in mind. This page also addresses Freesync and a few optional tweaks. A new game is released which relies on an updated graphics driver. you bought a brand new AMD card that is only just being supported 2. As with all things Linux you have options though, you can switch drivers to a more bleeding edge release from the AUR or elsewhere, two reasons for doing this would be 1. Manjaro ships with stable and relatively up to date AMD mesa drivers if you are new to Linux/Manjaro you do not need to install drivers for your AMD card.
