We are talking about measurable performance drops of around 50 percent in connection with 3DMark software. However, only very few users who have installed the latest Radeon update are affected. The Online magazine VideoCardz has collected the reports of some affected users.
In the Steam forum the newly occurring errors are currently being hotly debated. The problem arose with gamers who also fully query the performance of the GPUs – and suddenly had performance problems. The performance problem was discovered or documented by measurements 3DMark with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and TimeSpy. TimeSpy is a specialized DirectX 12 benchmark test used for gaming PCs. The numbers show the significant loss of performance for some users after the update. The score drops from the previous 24,587 to 12,861. The only difference is the driver version used.
AMD has not yet commented
While it is not known if this driver bug only affects 3DMark for now, it’s possible that other applications are affected as well. Unfortunately, AMD has not yet commented on this. If the loss of performance is reproducible, there will certainly be a statement in the AMD support forum shortly and another update will follow.
Until then, you have to be patient as an affected person. Corrective measures are not known.
- AMD releases bug fix update, but performance drops.
- So far only a few users have been affected.
- Loss of performance measured with 3DMark.
- Score drops from 24,587 to 12,861.
- It is unclear whether the error only affects 3DMark or more applications.
- AMD has not yet commented on this.
- Corrective measures not known.
