Looks like i'm stuck with the December release as each of these (this and Jan release) really break things like AWII and Dead Space, soooo much stuttering after these, this one still very bad Jan was a little worse but bad is bad. Maybe time to NV it up ?
 
On the bright side, these fixed the horrendous stutter in Battlefield 2042 introduced in 24.1.1
Shifted from one game to another, I guess good news for BF2042 players. I had that stutter last year when I played it for a bit, thought it was me... I cant be installing individual driver sets per game. :/
 
I noticed and uptick in folding performance last month with the 24.1.1 driver . For the 1st time ever this rig produced 31 wu's in 24 hrs. Echoed by 30 wu's on Kubuntu 22.04.4 lts with the recent changes to the kernel and upgrading from rocm 5.7 to 6.0.2 .
On the compute side AMD drivers have been getting much better, I love watching the upcoming convergence things are about to get quite interesting! :)

No change with the 24.2.1 but love the updated Ryzen Master 4 new values exposed and shown for my 5800X3D!
