Rumor: Nvidia Releases Deleted RTX 4080 12GB as RTX 4070 Ti – Computer – News

Well it depends.

I chose an AMD (Powercolor Red Devil 6700XT) GPU with my new PC in May of this year because Nvidia didn’t really have something in my budget at the time that quite satisfied what I was looking for and I had heard from various quarters that the problems some AMD drivers had all but disappeared in the meantime. So I chose an AMD card, with mixed results. The performance is good, but the drivers are still quite problematic, not so much for graphics issues but rather for their installation stability, as regular Tweakers Discord users like kiiv, Tryplex or Sanity have often heard me sigh. I have had to uninstall and reinstall my driver so many times since the beginning of August for some reason that I lost count.

Several times because with their optional drivers like 22.8.X and 22.9.X I have encountered graphical bugs like black flickering on videos in Edge all the time. To give an example: when I posted the quote, I retweeted the Gangsta’s Paradise video this tweet I came across in late September look in Tweetdeck in the modal video in Edge, so I got guaranteed and reproducible black flicker the moment Coolio exhales his cane smoke. And so there have been a number of incidents. I don’t have this in 22.5.2, so to keep my PC somehow usable I’m required to use 6 month drivers.

And then definitely 4 times because the driver (both 22.5.2 WHQL and 22.8.X as 22.9.X and 22.10.X all three optional) for some reason apparently with Windows (both 10 Pro and 11 Pro) after a while ‘time is automatically overwritten with an AMD Basic Display Device Adapter. This is then accompanied by both of my monitors turning into a completely black screen that doesn’t disappear on its own until the PC is restarted. And then when I restarted only my secondary screen works, I first have to restart in safe mode, run DDU, restart in normal mode and install 22.5.2, which also involves restarting 2 or 3 times so that everything ends up being stable. Incidentally, this also happened with the Device Setup Settings option in Windows set to not automatically download manufacturer apps. Last time I mentioned this, last weekend, I also said in Group Policy not to automatically download drivers, and if I could find a reliable article explaining how to do this in the Windows 11 Pro registry, the i edited there too. But now I’m really done. I’m seriously considering getting rid of the 6700XT if it happens again and getting an RTX 3000 or 4000 card instead, as I’ve never had so many problems with my previous PC, with a 1070.
