And finally I could set lower settings for windows system, cause 25.3.1 and 25.3.2 where resetting my profiles every time -.-
Also, finished Jedi survivor with Optiscaler FSR4 installed, DLSS inputs, great image quality and great game, now playing cyberpunk 2077 ( never played it ) also with optiscaler/FSR4 installed, great image quality and great game.
I guess i should thank Nvidia for making machine learning upscaling possible and investing so much in cyberpunk 2077 to look this great.
Try to tab out to desktop. Try to run it with powersaving amd feature around 45-50 fps.
Using the spaceship quite often crashed the game
that game was one of the few games which crashed, crashed a lot, and crashed for months, doing the same inputs.
At that point of time the game was very old and outdated. A free giveaway AMD-rewards "crash" game for amd product purchase.
Game graphics were bad. Soldiers spawned below the sand in the desert several times and tried to attack me. They were outside of the game map. Game mechanics bad. Game is boring. Visuals are bad. Raytracing - i did not really saw any difference with or without, except higher power usage according to the windows amd gpu driver on screen display in game.
a game where they did not had any money. Sudden end that's it when you fly to another planet. Bad explanation in game.
95% finished as some stuff is hard to trigger or find the last few percentage.
As for ray tracing is true, not much difference except for water reflections and maybe transparency, also put a cap on FPS to 60fps as i don't have a high refresh rate monitor, at 1440p with fsr4 quality all epic and ray tracing i had like 90-100W average board power consumption, and that is on Koboh wich is very GPU intensive.

Unplayable with Aorus RX 9070XT. 40 days since game came out... come on AMD!I only use DDU or AMD cleanup util if I had an issue or i've been on the same driver for months and skipped a whole bunch of them.
Every current FSR 4 supported game is actually an FSR 3.1 game that has been whitelisted by the driver. I wish we could override that whitelist as it doesn't seem that their whitelisting counts for much.
I have the Gigabyte gaming OC 9070 xt and a very very old install of windows 10.
You must be the 0.001% who has some combination of hardware or software that results in this.
I actually played past Joel´s but started crashing after Ellie and Dina go on horseback towards Seattle...
I´m watching the show but didn´t play the game on PS so no spoilers please!
Win11 Pro with all the updates, latest Adrenaline except todays, will try them for sure but it´s still under Known Issues...
So yeah, having an AMD system with up to date drivers and operating systems is gambling with your systems stability.
I believe neither Microsoft or Sony want AMD to succeed, they need them to be cheap for consoles and other silicon needs they have, Nvidia doesn't give 2 fuc...s about Microsoft, Sony, Apple and Intel, whenever they crossed paths Nvidia quickly reminded them they are not AMD and cut ties, they are not cheap and they can't steal.
In the meantime it looks like they updated the FSR 3.1 SDK, including a tweak to reduce ghosting: videocardz.com/pixel/amd-releases-updated-fidelityfx-sdk-featuring-fsr-3-1-4-with-reduced-upscaler-ghosting
Personally, I find flickering to be way more distracting than disocclusion ghosting.
- Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077
Has anyone tested the latest drivers on Cyberpunk? Is it worth upgrading, or should I stick with 24.12.1? That's the only version that seems to run Cyberpunk without any issues. Also, can anyone explain what exactly is it with version 24.12.1 that allows me to run Cyberpunk without any crashes, yet the newer version 25.3.1 seems to break it? And how come AMD hasn't been able to fix it with version 25.5.1, given the comment about application crashes possibly being observed while playing Cyberpunk? Like, isn't Cyberpunk one of the biggest games out there and is present in pretty much every benchmark out there? What's the point with releasing new drivers if "intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077"?
