Oh man I think this driver finally got rid of the black screen or driver timeouts on my RX 480... been dealing with that for almost a year... so far so good hope it sticks. :)
 
It's high VRAM clock. It won't idle and runs at full tilt all the time. It's some kind of blanking bug when using multiple high resolution high refresh rate monitors. For some reason it's happening to me with only a single 4K display at 120Hz. Setting the refresh to 60Hz lets the VRAM idle properly. Some people are "fixing" the issue by tweaking the blanking settings with 3rd party software. Older generation cards had the same issue and AMD fixed it for at least some configs via driver updates. Apparently it has affected Nvidia as well. I never had this problem with my 3080 though at 4K/120.
 
Today I got tired of waiting for a Asus restock and grabbed myself a Asrock Tachi 7900XTX. Installed these drivers ran a quick Cyberpunk bench which was fine.Then I fired up F@H. The driver was very unstable crashed half way through the 1st wu, it completed but the card was running at half speed. Did a wipe and installed the previous driver 23.1.2 and numbers are looking normal according to folding.lar.systems 7900XTX page.
 
Here's hoping the next driver is a little more F@H friendly!

Also congrats on the new card :D :up:

Thanks :D:up: Overnight numbers looked much better on the 7900 only driver estimated ppd was over 9m. Running a couple benches now Firestrike Ultra 19,909 stock settings noticed the turbo doesn't hit 4.5 stops at 4.4. Guess it's time to invest in a better monitor, almost criminal gaming at 1080p now.:lol:

I know the feeling. I game at 3840x1080@144hz, about as hard to run as 1440p, and the card feels like bliss with this combo. Really enjoying the crap outta it :D
 
Welp I was wrong. I thought I had the latest chipset installed 4.9 something turned out there is a newer version amd_chipset_software_4.11.15.3424.11. Once installed I used the amd driver uninstaller freshly downloaded in case the version I had was also older. After folding a few work units I downloaded the new fah beta client. It seems to handle the new system better than the current v7 client. No thermal throttling, large power spikes ect.
