AMD Polaris and Vega GPUs only to receive critical updates AMD is sunsetting its Polaris and Vega support on Windows. The company will only provide critical security patches. It has been long speculated that AMD has already abandoned the Vega and Polaris architectures, but the company has now confirmed that this is indeed the case. […]
Kinda annoying, I might have to stay on older drivers forever because the newest ones are extremely unstable when doing almost any tuning besides fan and power% on my vega 56.
Do you have a reference blower-style Vega 56? I had a similar problem with my Vega 64. Sometimes it would even crash to a black screen with a <100% power limit. I ended up repasting it with PTM 7950 and not only did it let me crank the power limit to the max, but it made it so that with the right fan curve, it wouldn’t thermal throttle at all. Before it was thermal throttling even with the fan at 100%.
Just something to consider. You can also flash the Vega 64 VBIOS to gain a little extra performance. They’re still pretty capable little cards, I kinda regret selling mine.
Yeah. On the new drivers my Vega 56 will just crash my system when anything other than the fans and power are changed. Sad outview.
