Yep. Those are the cows amd milk to get away.

Thank you SO much for creative oriented hardware test videos and sharing your experiences... These are very important for someone like me who always on budget.
They definitely should start working with creators more, so if thinks are fixable in this gen or else next gen.. in short, it's unacceptable for AMD to ignore this market segment, specially since in gaming they've practically reached where Nvidia's at.
Premier works best with Nvidia, DaVinci if you're using an Radeon, but definitely agree that dev and component manufacturers should work together to resolve issues
Don't hold your breath. Their game drivers are just as bad, the newest ones are crashing all over the place in gaming. AMD has literally never had consistently stable drivers nor has it had consistently performant drivers nor has it had consistently compatible drivers.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator Nvidia hasn't had consistently stable drivers either, nor have they been consistently secure .
AMD is not even in the same ballpark as Nvidia, and never has been.
@@jakehutchenscap bro
And this is why Nvidia feels like they can charge whatever they want. Once you factor in time lost and frustration from random issues it becomes more than whatever the difference in pricing was.
Yep...
so accurate
Sadly true cause look at next gen RTX 50 prices.
It's the dumbest decision, they're trying to beat NVIDIA at their own game instead of eating a huge part of their marketshare. "YEAH LET'S FOCUS ON FSR INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BEAT CUDA!!"
erm have you not heard of the random black screens Nvidia cards get?
Yeah as a 3d artsist, buying AMD is kinda sub par but as a gamer its great; i wish more reviewers did 3d/ video editor benchmarks with their cards
Should i get 4070 ti? Here 7900xt have same price as 4070ti but the vram..
I mainly use pc for working (render etc) but i want the best price to performace for gaming
@@novalovanGet a4000 or a6000.. If only for work!!
@@novalovanget 4080 lol. But yeah if you do renders there's no other choice but Nvidia.
It's really good to see TH-camrs actually using this hardware and trying to make it work. I imagine many have always stuck with Intel and Nvidia and don't know what it's like on the other side beyond benchmarks
But the dude gave up in 1 week.
@@f.miller801 1 weeks is a fair test, it gives it a real try, but constantly fighting when trying to get work done for more than 1 week is a real pain and will be too much for most.
Not sure, but it looks pretty obvious what's on the other side.. 🤔
I'm impressed it took him that long. The difference is HUMONGOUS. It's frustrating. I wish AMD would get their shite together.
He used the wrong graphics card AMD 2 types of card one for gaming and a work station card , He should of used a AMD Radeon Pro W7900 , I cant believe anyone whose processional would cheap out on equipment and get something that's not built for the job then complain and blame AMD for something that is his own fault giving AMD a bad name , it is clearly his fault for not having his business pony up and get proper GPU
I know old vid, just a tip, for all gpu card users, including nvidia have had similar issues. mainly on default fan speeds, insane settings.
the problem with amd is a range of problems and they do not seem to listen, i have been on this for years now on amd forums warning people about theses crazy default settings.
1. the cooling paste is of such poor quality that you be wise to replace it with your own better quality, the paste that comes with the card, is already dried up and does not cool as good, so after 1 maybe 2 years depending on use or how long it was on display or in the stock, your card starts to artifact the screen, and at times create sort of screen blinking, quick off on.
When used longer your card will crash and start with artefacting the crap out of it until it goes PROOF.
2. fan settings sucks, always check your gpu fan setting also nvidia users, better yet make your own, and to be sure use a external program and not radeon drivers, they always revert back to default nuts settings, when it crashes, try setting it at manual, and see what your default fan settings are, mine rx580 was set at max 90 degrees and fan speed at 80%, no wonder it was crashing.
Make sure your fans run at max speed when they reach around 63 degrees, zero fan speed at certain low temp(DONT), disable that at once, make sure your fans spin at all times.
3. power control and options or settings as default, change it asap, undervolt your gpu and frequency on the gpu core, and store and run it as default in an external program(msi afterburner).
Go -50 on the voltage, and minus 200 on your gpu core, check your temps while you adjust the settings during a heavy gpu test program.
Go up 1 point on the voltage and 4 on the frequency until you reach a sweet spot at around 60 to 63 degrees, and then go 2 voltages below that, make sure your card does not reach higher then 63 degrees, you can go higher on that, but make sure you test it good, any artefacting, screen blinking, system reset/restart or program freezing go lower on the temps by loewring voltage and frequency.
4. last but not least the radeon software, man what can i say it does not even remember or apply your own settings when it reverts back to gpu default settings, during a crash or a freeze, and that is a huge problem on top of the 3 previous mentioned hardware misconfigure problems on hardware level, that makes your card go poof withing 2 years and 2 months on heavy use.
I had issues after 8 months with my new rx6750xt that started blinking and later 1,5 years when it started to shutdown my pc for no reason or even freezed the game i was playing without any description on why yeh DXGI crash and driver reset to default.
i changed my cooling paste, adjusted my fans to run at max speed at 63 degrees, undervolted to 1158(default=1200), and went to 2664 (default = 2694)on the gpu frequency, did not have a single issue after those changes. max temps at 63 degrees, but hardly reaches 58.
The reason i keep using msi afterburner for my fan and volage control is, that amd radeon is a piece of crap software that keeps reverting to the crazy settings and burn your gpu out of exsistance within 2 years and 2 months, i lost a rx580 due to this.
Amd default fan and voltage setting do not take in account the poor quality of the cooling paste and the dry up time of that same paste, they are to close and temps are to high and fan speeds to low at insane temps, and fine tuned the crap out of it to a literal dead spot, and a gpu card breaking spot with all 4 mentioned problems.
This 7900xt will work fine if you change the cooling paste, lower your voltages, and temps, adjust your fan speeds,and start using msi afterburner as default voltage and fan control, do not rely on radeon software.PERIOD
You do realize this can be caused by your software not supporting AMD properly.
He's a content creator where time is money. Spending time figuring out what is causing it problems is costly. Money is better spent buying more costly hardware where software is supported, and spend the time actually 'content creating'.
Just because you understand software and comparability, doesn't mean it's everybody's cup of tea
You do realise that's still a downside right?
Sadly most 3d rendering and modelling software doesnt support amd much. It just amd isnt as good as amd at giving driver support for their gaming gpu, unlike nvidia where RTX have many (not all) feature that makes quadro great. AMD RX just doesnt have much Radeon Pro features. I do wish it change in the future since price performance AMD looks beautiful, and i guess its mostly driver problem.
Exactly. So don't blame amd. Because everybody is using Nvidia. Blame Adobe for bad support.
That is not AMD fault, but if your program works better with cuda and nvidia, in business, you will use nvidia. I am poor trash that is using the capcut. It is my hobby. He is living from it. We are not the same. I am animal. He is human.
I had the same problem before with my 5700XT. Would have black screen, sometimes crash and computer restarts. I opened AMD adrenaline software tried tweaking some settings but still the same. Until I saw that my programs added in the home screen treated as games (Like you can see them as the recent games you played in adrenalin software). I removed them from the list and after that I have no crashes anymore. Everything works fine now. I don't know what that happened but it worked for me.
In games and very basic editing I have had zero issues with my 6800XT for the year I have had it. Alot of games and alot of hours no issues. That said, I can say I have lurked the professional production task conversations and nVidia definately still holds title as the card of choice for professional creators. In the past AMD adjusted pricing to be a better value for the 99% of us that do not need that feature set but now? This release? Not sure what their game is. If the 7900XT does not come down in price I will get a 4070ti when I see one on sale. AMD maybe is not all that concearned with this part of the GPU market but if they want to gain more marketshare they need to. I know they are kings when it comes to CPU marketshare and Consoles in the millions but GPU's are important too. I hope they decide to get more aggressive there but who knows if they will.
amd is so far behind with the 4090 its not even funny. in games and professional market
@@mexreax4493 professionally? Yes! In games, well if MW2 is your main game then you’re absolutely wrong! My 6800xt smacks that 4090’s ass!!! Ok ok I know it’s ONE game but love to shut up a nVidia fanboy! 😆
@@andyjoelharper3448 6800xt is nowhere near smacking a 4090 in warzone 2 or mw2
@@terraincognitagaming yes, I said that! What of it ? I know because I have a 4090 too. It is the only game that AMD surpasses in! 6800xt OC in 1080p! What you gonna my to do about it, punk!?
Thought so! Prove me wrong, @mupp33n!
If system is shutting down that is usually indicative of a power supply issue.
It could also be overheating, or defective ram
I think he uses the same PSU with the 3090 ti before
Yeah this amd gpu use much power when full load u r right
Yup immediately thought the same. Amd will use more power and that is a clear indication of psu/no break (if existent) problem
I'm no expert, but couldn't this be a problem due to poor power supply? Or some other incompatibility? Did you try this video card in other setups? Is this information current as of February 2024? Other users also had this problem?
I am the creator (Highway Engineer), working in CAD ( Autodesk Civil 3D) and using AMD pro Drivers, actually it works way better then NVIDIA, it is more stable then NVIDIA'S studio driver on CAD
have you tried installing pro drivers instead of adrenalin for stability issues? idk if there is one for 7000 series tho, just saying in case you didn't know you can do that for gaming cards like 6000 series or even older cards..
Dosent work. 5700xt. Pro drivers.
Editing is nightmare on heavy footage and workloads he mentioned.
pro drivers doesn't improve performance really, just for stability in games and software like random closes and restart he got, it may do a better job than game ready drivers.
in your case see if disabling ULPS (Ultra Low Power State) with msi afterburner do any help. it can cause slow downs and even black screen for some users.
I do TH-cam gaming videos, upgraded from a GTX1080 to the XFX 7900XT. Until the new driver that came out yesterday I didn't have any crashing issues, rolled back to the previous and now all is well again so I'm good on that front.
When it comes to editing in Premiere pro it seems like motion graphics (mogrts) don't get any hardware acceleration or something. They playback way slower than my 1080 in the timeline and seem to take longer to render for export too. Inconvenient but I could probably live with it.
But ultimately why I'm looking at switching to a 4080 now is the quality of game recordings using the hardware encoder. I have tried tweaking a bunch of settings but there often seem to be these weird artifacts in the recording around moving objects that I never noticed with my 1080 (which IIRC has a worse encoder than the 20X0 series onwards)
That slow mograt is because back then it was cuda accelerated no open cl optimization . And it sucks
Premier is cuda optimizing, cuda is nvidia propietary. its not AMD failure, but the developer choice
5:30 the part you mentioned about the video editing and the pc crashing and black screening was experienced by Paul (Not an Apple Fan) on the Techonomics Podcast. He’s mentioned this happened numerous times and switching to a RTX2080Ti was a much smoother process for video editing and preferred the Nvidia experience by faaaar!
I used to get this problem too with my Vega 64, but then it stopped and I have no idea why as nothing I'd tried to fix it worked.
@@TheAnon03 most of the time it's some third party SW.
It's a CPU bug it's a simple fix!!
I've had problems like that editing when I had an AMD GPU, the software crashed, sometimes I lost the footage, and other annoying stuff, then I got the GTX 1060 in 2018 and never had any problems after that. AMD is amazing for gaming but if you are a content creator or use a GPU for professional workloads then Nvidia is a bit ahead when it comes to performance but also far ahead when it comes to compatibility and stability.
2018 called: it wants its helpful anecdotes back.
I expect but can´t say the reason, but I used Hitfilm to edit video, and it crashed with AMD on a regular basis... tested different drivers, tips & tricks... but it continued. To be noted, all AMD users did NOT experience the same issues.
I have only one question: Do you guys used the Pro Drivers or the regular ones? 🤔
I too had a lot of problems while doing productivity using the regular Drivers. The moment I switched to the Pro once I had zero issues.
Love your vids. You are talking a lot about creator programs. I have built two PCs for Architects, that use Archicad, which apperantly uses mainly single core performance. My point is I would have loved to get more info about other programs like Archicad or even Photoshop or other commonly used programs. What do you have to focus on?
By the sound of it he concentrates almost purely on video editing using Premiere Pro.
I had the black screen issue with GTX 970 mostly with HDMI port. But not with display port. Linus also mentioned how he had impossible to diagnose crashes, but finally it came out to be as simple as cable port bad connection.
Yep. I've had this problem with two AMD cards. Using a different port fixed most of my crashing issues.. Also, AMDs "Recommended" drivers are usually a lot more stable than the "Optional" ones, when it comes to black screens and the like
Linus pinus
@@Ben-Rogue Apparently, stick to "Recommended" and whatever each software vendor calls "stable" or "long term release" unless you are fully prepared to be a beta tester.
Sad to hear that the newer cards (or drivers) behave the same as it happened to me but with RX 6700 XT in Windows 10 - the stop of video signal (blank screen) at random times even when using Excel. I use for editing HitFilm Express and any driver after 22.5.1 WHQL make the timeline freeze, rendering the program unusable.
I recently found in the Reliability History that the video signal loss happened after Windows Update updated the video driver in the background. The workaround is to enable the 'Do not include drivers with Windows Updates' local policy. I must say I had no such issues when using the GTX 1660 OC card.
I've had Windows force their version of the driver for my 6700XT once before, it snuck in through update when I was actually doing a clean driver install manually for another issue. It made things dramatically worse... Some versions of their drivers are really bad. It's unfortunately a matter of finding a stable driver, and only updating every 6 months or so, to test fot the latest stable drivers
It sounds like a power issue, how much does your power supply deliver?
The unfortunately reality is that for creators, Nvidia is the only choice when it comes to GPUs. I always want AMD to do well but every time it looks like they might be better, they manage to step on a rake. At this point I have more faith that intel will eventually offer an alternative to Nvidia than AMD will.
Same feeling, right now Intel doesn't have the hardware needed to compete, but they are working very well onto drivers, next serie will probably be a much more heavier strike onto the market
yea? I thought creator people like MacOS and Apple uses AMD GPUs?
@@seiyachan No. Creators need access to Cuda which is something only Nvidia can offer.
Not the only choice at all. It’s a herd mentality. I do agree that nVidia is the technology leader in a lot of ways, but their business practices are worse than Apple’s.
@@seiyachan Apple uses integrated GPUs now. They work quite well but don’t have the raw horsepower to compete with higher end discrete GPUs such as 4080s and 7900s
I sure hope the 6750 xt wont have these issues because I am definitely going to use it in my next build
The 6000s series is very stable when compared to the new 7900xt and xtx
ain't a big content creator nor a professional, but i had a weird experience with AMD too.
Got a 6950xt like, two months before the 7000 release, and since first day i experienced unstabilities with it.
What's funny is that in-game the cards performs really well, i play with the aim to have as much frames and stability as possible, and it somehow achieved that. What's fuzzy is when you use the gpu in the most regular way : on windows desktop.
Black screens freezes, black screen crashes, driver crashs, white flashes, stutters for no reasons, and all that with sometimes really basic stuff like putting your cursor from a window to an other in the task bar, or just highlighting the effect when your mouse is on the closing icon window or reducing one. Even when watching videos or streams you have like a "epileptic madness" mode that appears and makes the screen flashing every 3 seconds, crazy to see trust me on my words.
GPU is going in the repair zone, i just hope they'll say it's not fixable so that i can get a refund and go for a 4070ti. AMD isn't for high-end/pro uses.
It would be interesting to see if the latest pro drivers that they have for the 7900 XT resolves all of the complaints.
I’d be curious about that, too. I’m keeping a 4070 around for my 3D modeling but my 7800 XT experience was so good that it has replaced my 4070 for video editing.
@@perlichtman1562does it have any issues with davinci or is it smooth when scrubbing through timeline?
@@perlichtman1562which tools are u using? I am video editing myself and currently choosing between 4070, 7800xt or 7900xt
@@perlichtman1562 hi would u recommend the 4070 or the 7800xt for someone whos new to 3d rendering?
Two things about PC going black. PSU, memory. A system freeze would typically leave an image on the monitor.
Having said that I'm skeptical about RDNA 3 right now. RDNA 2 is wonderful but it's not as good statistically in video editing. RDNA 3 does a bit to supposedly improve video editing or video capturing, etc.... But you still have the issue that different software is optimized for Nvidia GPUs. I think right now they could be causing some power spikes and because the 7900 XT is a power hungry GPU it is more likely to drop the system from time to time when it happens.
The other thing is you THINK the memory is stable, until you do something different and your system drops. Using a faster GPU could be causing a little instability in the system, especially when you are pointing to a 3950X as the CPU you're using. That's a very fast GPU paired with the FIRST really good Ryzen CPU AMD made, Zen 2 but it gets blasted by something 2 generations newer and even Zen 3 16c/32t uplifts are excellent.
Yeah just checked and you're using 3600 memory with a 16c/32t CPU and yes I realize you only swap out the GPU, but swapping out a GPU can mean making other components work more, or less. I don't have good luck with 3600 memory with any Zen CPUs, although the APUs work with faster memory. But, I know plenty of people run 3600 with no problem, If you're using 4 sticks of 3600 with Zen 2 you're really pushing the boundaries of what any Ryzen AM4 CPU will do. I didn't go back to watch your system build, don't want to, but that's an issue if you're doing that and I'd slow it down to 3200 CL14 with 4 sticks.
In other words, this might SEEM like a GPU problem. Whether it is or not would require more testing on your part by one, putting in a more powerful GPU and two switching out memory with 3200 CL14, because that GPU could be making your system work harder than you've pushed it before.
This
I think the problem lies more with Adobe software. In davinci the 7900xtx is fantastic.
thank you for this. you gave me hope lol I just bought a pc with this GPU, is I could work on Davinci hopefully it goes well for me too

Did You try using amd pro drivers ? Seems to solve all stability problems You mentioned.
Surprisingly my 5700G's Radeon iGPU have no issues so far. Davinci resolve works very smooth and stable. Maybe its an old Vega Architecture that's why. Btw Linus Sebastian (LTT) said that they never go with the latest gen of components for editing systems, they always go one generation back
Davinci is just much better coded than Premier. It's stable on everything :)
That’s true I have 6800xt but didn’t crash randomly.
When most popular company completed with ea
That’s happening 😂😂😂😂😂
davinci works much better with amd cards, problem is many people don't wanna switch if they already know premiere really well
Weird, I don't have any of those issues with a 7900XT, but I also don't use all those fancy tools, I just use shotcut and lossless cut with 3rd party codec packs.
I like the dark red look to this. I haven't seen the full video, but the 7900 is out soon and I'm looking for a new chap GPU, arc vs the 7600
Thanks for the info
I know this video is a few months old, but were you using an AMD processor with smart access memory enabled? AMD made their chips to work good together. Still doesnt excuse the gpu causing ur pc to be laggy and crash, but I wonder if it would have made a difference.
I changed out from an older rx 570 to a 6700 xt, and the performance bump was tremendous. I haven't had any issues with it. Perhaps it was a driver problem? Did you safe mode DDU the nvidia stuff before you loaded the adrenaline? That very well could cause a lot of the problems you're seeing.
He also may have an under-performing power supply unit in there, the 7900XTcan bang >400 watts in bursts, that'll cause weird stability-looking issues...
I also thought about this as soon as I saw the video pop up. A bad or clashing set of drivers make such a massive difference in performance!
Great insight into GPU performance for creators!
Thanks for the heads up my guy!
Does it have the same issues with Davinci Resolve?
Seems from your stunned reactions, you are new to AMD black screens, migrated to 3080 from 5700xt in 2020 and never looked back, now having 4090 and enjoying every bit of it
I fell for 5700xt reviewers shilling too. RMA'd it and bought 2070 super in a month of blackscreens and crashes - had zero problems since.
The black screen is a premium feature, not a bug.
😂😂 it's the new OP4HWOL feature.. offscreen, pause for healthier way of life
@@deuswulf6193it can turn any screen into an oled for a few milliseconds great feature.
Disable fast boot, all 5700XT issues vanish.
Idk but did you use ProDrivers or consumer ones? I had the same problem. Immidiet shutdown and drivercrash but with prodrivers, not even a once.
Thank u so much for sharing your experiences.
I have had similar experiences with my 5700xt either crashing in apps and games, and some times yes it just disappears. Been putting up with that for over 3 years, now I'm doing a complete rebuild. 4090 water force edition, 7950x, asus Prime x670e Pro wifi, 64gb @6400, Samsung 990 pro, 1200 watt. Thanks for your videos leading me in the right direction looking for the right parts. Also saved some money buying a windows 10 key with your discount 👌
I had a Nitro + 5700XT, one day it just quit putting out a display. 2070S been going for years and hasn't hiccupped.
holy overkill, but congrats bro. The crem de la crem
Don’t get 6400mhz ram, get 6000mhz because over 6000mhz halves the infinity fabric clock making performance drop quite a bit and stutters occur quite a lot
You may want to rethink that Samsung 990 Pro SSD. They're having a lot of premature wear / degradation issues with those.
You know I currently been using 6800xt with R9 5900x for UW 1440p Ultra for almost 2 years. No hiccups. Ran like a champ! Still playing MW2 with no problems and high fps. When I hear stories like this, I cringe. Either you're an nVidia fanboy and love to talk junk about AMD & their fandom. Or you got a crappy 5700xt with bad QA. Or you're lying! I had a palit 3060 around the same time I got the 6800xt. Worked great. For 3 months then KAPUT! It was light gaming! What a POS! Sorry you had to deal with a POS too. So, recently bought a new 3080, and it runs like a champ too. But AMD is still faster! Nvidia is way better at RT. Enough said. Good luck
I moved from a Radeon VII to this 7900 xt. I’m a Resolve user and I’ve found it to be generally excellent. Occasional crashes, but the 3 x 3090 Linux rig I also use crashes more often so I can’t complain. My Mac Studio is more stable, but obviously doesn’t offer 50 TFLOPS of raw GPU compute, and that matters when you start piling on the depth maps, Neat Video and AI keys.
I got the trouble same as this channel said when I change the graphic card from RX 560 to RTX 3080 but don't uninstall 100% the current GPU driver. And with AMD, it happens even when I haven't change the card but only the driver, if I don't remove the previous driver in the right way to make it 100% clear, AMD have a tool call "AMD Cleanup Utility" to do this job (I don't know if nVidia has the same one?!). When I'm not sure if it's clear or not, I have to reinstall the Windows to make sure. So when you change the graphic card in the same Windows system, make sure it (the previous driver) clear 100% if you'd like to run it smoothly.
PS: I'm using Windows 11 Workstation now. I've never get this kind of trouble when I'm using Windows 10 Pro.
I would like to see this looked at again. Its been 7 months and that's a lot of software updates.
So some of these issues might be fixed, So the GPU might be worth considering again.
AMD is speccing their GPUs with reasonable VRAM quantities. Nvidia's cards all have 4GB less than they ought to.
Premiere crashing is unacceptable. I literally switch between game ready and studio drivers when I go to edit a video, because I notice Premiere crashes maybe once per 18 hours instead of once per 12 hours with the studio drivers vs the game ready ones.
Premiere crashing is a mess; even if you can get back into Premiere in 2 minutes, it's still a huge setback to crash and break your whole "flow" (for lack of a better word).
...unfortunately I can't just stick with the studio drivers because games microstutter when using it.
never thought id find you here of all places
Thank you for the honest video!
I once had a 6900XT GPU from PowerColor. I had sooo many issues with it, that I sold it after a month of trying to fix the issues. I got a RTX 3080 and 0 issues. Just installed the card, installed the drivers and boom! Everything worked perfectly. Sorry but AMD drivers have a lot of catch up to do. People accused me of fanboy but oh no, fanboy I'm not.
I legit tried a 7900xt & ended up returning it, my money is better off with me until amd gets their act together.
@Martin Jones I agree
Hmm, interesting - I wonder if applications like Premiere are calling specific GPU-targeted commands that are causing an issue with theirs? I've also seen recently that the most recent drivers (as of this writing) seem to be much improved over what came out at launch, so it would be interesting to see if problems like this have been resolved as well.
It’s possible. I was expecting similar issues to the ones in the video but didn’t have any when I tested the 7800 XT against the 4070. So they may have been fixed - or there could be project specific issues that Tech Notice catches that aren’t showing up in my use case. But so far my 7800 XT has replaced the 4070 for video editing because of how well it has performed - while the 4070 is still a much better card for Blender or standard upscaling with Topaz Labs Video AI (though the 7800 XT is often better at upscaling 4K footage 4X - not sure if that is VRAM related).
@@perlichtman1562 From what is being said in the video it sounds more like its the "bug" / "windows feature" that is not working properly. I've been dealing with this too in Windows where Windows update will install a really old AMD driver over your up-to-date driver which will destroy the performance & will also (in my case) give me blue screens and just unstable applications.
Adrenalin software will show that the driver is up-to-date but actually you're running an old out-of-date driver.
I have a genuine question about rendering in Premier Pro and you seem like the most knowledgeable person on TH-cam. I need to be able to export my just finished project and start working on my next project at the same time. I'm working on 2-5 projects a day. If I have multiple Nvidia cards in my PC, can I use one for the Adobe Media Encoder to handle the output and a second GPU for rendering in Premier Pro so I can keep working in my project and timeline? I have a 9900k and a 3070 Ti, and right now, when I start a new render in the Adobe Media Encoder, it runs in the background, but as soon as I start doing anything else with my PC, the render slows to a crawl until I stop doing anything else and just let the card do it's thing. I have no issue buying a second GPU to run my timeline if you think that will work to allow me to keep going on working and rendering at the same time.
better off having 2nd pc to do the background encoding IMO, idk about premier but davinci have remote render server thingy to handle the "export"
@@fltfathin Turns out your are absolutely correct. I ended up solving this problem by using a Premiere team project, installing a 3060 to into a lightly used server, and then remote desktop into the server to render the project! Problem COMPLETELY solved.
@@fltfathin It was a great idea! You were the only person to respond, but you're going to save me hundreds of hours of rendering this year as I use a second PC to do the heavy lifting and I can continue editing now on my main PC.

Long term users should not be surprised by the persistent support from Nvidia, regarding software compatibility and reliability in the professional sphere. Nvidia was one of the first vendors to provide complete OpenGL ICD support way back with RiVA 128 and TNT, not just some miniGL layer for the Quake-based games.
Yeah great, fanboy! No open source? Gee whiz no thanks:p Nvidia only cares about their profit margins so I’m surprised about this “persistent support from NVidia.”
@@andyjoelharper3448 Of course they are doing it to make money, no one doubts that they are greedy af (just like most companies) and aren't doing this from the good of their hearts. Either way, they provide great support and are on top of fixing all issues within weeks. I couldn't care less why they give this support, the fact is that I gave them my money for a gpu so I expect it to work without issues on their end. Can't say that for AMD *yet*.
I hate nvidia for many reasons but I have to admit the drivers work properly.
@@andyjoelharper3448 Nvidia did release an open source driver I think in 1999 for the Riva 128 and the TNT. Problem was they included SGI's software renderer as part of the driver and were hit hard by SGI for it and could no longer distribute the driver. Not sure if that may have been part of the reason why nvidia was hesitant to release open source again or not, but I did use that driver when it released back then on a Riva 128.
Just out of curiosity, did you submit a "Bug Report" via their driver?
That seems to be the only way AMD listens to issues, and fixes them.
can it be that it is Adobe's fault as well? I meen, really, why is always the drivers?
@@crisantiberiu4633 AMD still needs to be proactive and not reactive though.
This is why Nvidia was able to dominate the scene. They were proactive enough, whilst injecting their addictive proprietary CUDA on any prominent software development.
AMD needs to be more proactive and/or play dirty like Nvidia if you want to see more competition...
@@rick_takahashiI just do not see AMD caring about consumer GPU’S beyond gaming, otherwise they would actually try harder.
@@AwankO that would be hard to do if most of Nvidia proprietary CUDA has been embedded on most software.
It would make sense for them to target gamers first, get some marketshare and actually hold it. Ryzen didn't swallow Intel in 1 generation.. it took multiple consecutive generations.
@@rick_takahashi I mean I think they don't care about it, the software side of things is a harder nut to crack than the hardware. They need to promote their GPUs more toward content creators on TH-cam, Twitch, and Discord if AMD truly wants to get into the content creation market.
Did you update the AMD CPU Chipset Drivers?
Did you use amd pro driver instead of adrenaline driver?
Additionally nvidia just increased GeForce encoding to max 5 sessions
As someone that used a 6900XT for 3D characters and animations for 2 years (need alot of VRAM and at the time the 3090 was way to expensive) and switched to a 4090. It isn't about just the performance its about how far behind AMD is from Nvidia when it comes to drivers, software support etc. As soon as I installed the 4090 the software I have been using for years CC3+ and Iclone had a massive 5GB update that added soooo much stuff that made animations, and making characters soooo much easier. Now I am making scenes with 10+ characters on it running at 4k 60fps. I don't think I'll ever go back to AMD. They are just to far behind Nvidia.

amd purposely hold back their drivers and slowly roll them out over a generations lifespan to give the illusion of the fine wine scenario
I think all of your problems were Windows 11 problems or AMD drivers for Windows 11. I had the same problems and almost returned my cards but when downgrading to windows 10 all of those issues disappeared with the same drivers. Edit: wanted to share that these issues also happened with RX 6000 series and windows 11 -- but absent on Win 10.
Ok , but this thing cost almost 1000 dollar
I have similar instability issues after upgrading to W11. My desktop icons and wallpaper will occasionally flashes like it is being reload again.
W110 user.. have same issues with amd. Pubg 50 of time it goes black screen and i have to restart.. and rarely in other ggames. I had 0 issues in 4 years with nvidia rtx 2070
Adobe even said on there website windows 11 was not a secure system for there software
You were using a 850w bequiet 80+ titanium... My gawd man! What were you thinking :-D
Any issues with their CPUs? considering trying Amd for the first time. I haven't heard of any issues apart from some weird usb disconnect bug a reviewer mentioned.
I had the same 'shutdown' black screen happen to me a few times when I got a RTX3090. I thought it might be my 850PSU so had a used 1,300 coming in and realized my UPS was 810W and maybe it was shutting down due to a spike. So I found a used 2,000 watt UPS. both came in the same day, installed together and working fine. I'd had my GPU set at low power for the few days before those components came in and now it regularly pulls 349 watts to itself.
I also thought it sounded like a power issue, possibly on the driver end, possibly with hardware.
@@roundandedgeless.1218 There is the idea that this is even due to power-stripe - and in US - (110V) they recommend to connect directly to the wall socket.
I've got the same issues with 5700XT, it lasted for few month. Initial game tests by youtubers back then was something like it was on par with 2060S, and I got a bit dissapointing game results for few month. Later they updated drivers, and all the issues were gone, and performance boosted. Several updates later it was reaching 2070S performance in some games! I was shoked) Anyway, they have to make drivers at launch at least without issues you and me got, I understand that they need to collect many data from different systems to make it perfect, but laggy drivers at launch has to stop
Yeah the Fine Wine is a old problem that still exists
I always heard people complain about AMD and I always purchased AMD cards that were at least 3 years old so the drivers were mostly fine at the point with an issue here and there, but for the first time ever I purchased a brand new 7900xt and then moved to windows 11 and it has been nothing but problems with the drivers... I even considered Nvidia again for the first time in 15 years.

Have you tried replacing the card under warranty? Defective goods happen
Not sure if it was mentioned in the video but was the issue persisting with the Pro or Adrenalin drivers?
Can u pls make a similar video with the Arc A770 on the content creator side, the good, the bad, the ugly etc. I would be really thankful.
The short answer is "Creators needs CUDA cores" As a fan of AMD and working with 3D graphic, animations and photogrammetry I was trying to use RADEONs but finally I had to give up. I can't run many programs on radeons because of lack of CUDA cores. It is not necessary fault od AMD. They have their own solutions but developers of the software often don't even try to make something compatible with AMD GPUs.
This is why I have always run a 4090 in my PC. Stella and occasionally Cemu would crash. I also noticed a bit of lag in my TH-cam videos when I would watch them. I immediately was re-excited that I spent the extra cash later on.
I switched last year to Mac and feeling good not having issues with premiere pro with the 8K raw videos
I use the Sapphire 7900XTX and i am very happy. I know how and what tools to use. I do Blender and work on small games. Waiting for new Threadrippers ; ) Sad to hear that the gpu was not doing well for you. You can always send problems to AMD it is integrated in the driver. Would be nice when you can report Premiere crash.
A Threadripper is probably overkill for your workload. Currently, Blender prefers single thread performance for most operations, apart from sculpting and rendering (which isn't relevant if you use your GPU for rendering). As for game engines, having many cores improves compilation speed, but unless you are a programmer this isn't a bottleneck to your workflow.
All to say, a consumer chip with high single thread performance and a moderate core-count should be sufficient.
Do you have any crashes with games?
What is your overall experience with the RX 7900 XTX as a content creator now? Do you have any experience using it with Adobe softwares?
Yo bro, can you tell me more about your experience with the Sapphire 7900XTX, how it perfoms in creator tools like rendering, photo/video editing and also obviosly gaming (if you can) because I'm wondering to buy the Sapphire 7900XTX or the ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4070 TI OC.

Great video. You're not a fanboy so mad respect for the analysis.
I had the same issue when I tested the 6900XT. Swapped out my 3080 with the 6900XT for testing, and immediately I had random restarts of my PC with no error messages whatsoever. Games crashing to desktop with AMD driver then reporting "wattman settings have restored to default", even though everything was running at stock. Then came my Adobe Premier testing, and I found the same as you. It would be blazing fast when it comes to scrubbing etc, but then Adobe would just close. For no reason. I lasted a week then put the 3080 back in and no more random restarts or Adobe crashing.
For those thinking I am silly for "upgrading" from a 3080 to a 6900XT, it wasnt an upgrade. I really wanted to see what day-to-day life with a high-end Radeon GPU would be like, as I believe you cant really have an opinion on something if you havent tested it for yourself. Well, I tested it and I was extremely disappointed. I have a 6600XT in my 2nd gaming PC and that card is just awesome, so I thought the 6900XT would be great as well.
I am not saying that Nvidia doesnt have issues, but when it came to my use case, the 3080 was just infinitely more stable and reliable. Currently test-driving the 4070 Ti and been using it for exactly a week now with no issues either.
Use higher watts power with amd
I recently upgraded my old vega 56 with a 4070TI and I can confirm the random crashes on premiere pro on AMD graphics (especially when alt+tabbing to other apps)

Could be your PSU not up to scratch. Vega had very high transient power load which caused weaker systems to fail. 4070 is a terrible choice it barely has more vram headroom than your 4-5 year old gpu lmao./

I have seen a lot of similar "sudden blackout" issues among gaming discussions. Most if not all of them boiled down to the PSU, either being the rig drawing too much power, or a heavy spike that triggered PSU protection.
Personally speaking, I am running Radeon 7900xtx + Ryzen 5900X but I have never experienced that. It was probably because I am using a Corsair HX1000i PSU, that is more than capable on handling even the spikes.

@saafff5465 I think it was a driver issue for the 7000 series. I've had a every model of the 6000 series and none of them gave me this issue. Heck I went back to the 6900xt a reference model at that and it works perfectly.
I had the 7900xtx and it was subpar in Davinci resolve. Some of my plugins like Dehancer refused to work with it. It also ran very hot due to it being reference design.

Hey everybody, I had these problems for a year with one of my computers I had just built. I was looking at ram issues and a poor fit to the case on the rear video card mount. The final solution was the driver! Every driver I was installing, was followed by a windows update for the video driver. It was the windows updated driver causing the problems, but they were so intermittent, and so varied, that it took a long time to spot the connection. Then I fell in love with AMDs optional driver for creators. Just leave that windows optional driver update in the options folder while you install the others.
Can you be more specific? What optional drivers for creators? For which video cards? What options folder?
@@nicholash8021 It was on my manufacturers site (AMD) on their driver options page.
@@nicholash8021 Excuse me, they call it the "Pro Driver". (In the description they say it's for creators)
The random system crashes might be related to your CPU actually...
Sounds very similar to what I started experiencing, using 5900x and 2070 Super.
Premiere pro would simply crash to desktop - without error message or nothing in event viewer.
And windows would freeze - go to black, then my computer restart.
Thought it was my GPU, switched out the GPU to an 3070 TI - as again, the computer would go black but sound would still like "freeze" and then the computer restarted.
Again, nothing in event viewer..
GPU switch didn't do anything. Memtest came back negative every time...
So I bit the bullet and bought a second 5900x. And no issues at all since.
So for me, I must have been unlucky with my old 5900x...
From my experience , when going to AMD from Nvidia , you need to do a complete new windows .. have switch from the 2 brand 3 time in total , and always had issue (crash , bluescreen, instability etc) even after using DDU , and newest driver... and everytime i do a new windows every issue went away.
Talking with friend they had similars experiences when switching to AMD, so maybe it could explain what happen with , would like to see a nother test from you with a fresh windows tho , cool video anyway.
Hmmm... interesting... what's the thinking/reason behind that?
@theTechNotice it has been this way from the beginning of time. Any time you switch from amd to Nvidia or even voodoo (back in the day), it required a reinstall of windows to be stable.
It's the primary reason we always had the boot drive separate from the rest of our data.
@@theTechNotice from my experience with my wife pc ... When I first installed AMD GPU there was no problems and one day went and removed all Nvidia programs and got ton of issues.. The solution was to remove AMD adrenalin and re-install it and problem solved. so if moving from Nvidia to AMD try to uninstall all Nvidia drivers and programs before install AMD adrenalin for the first time ...
The only Issue I was getting recently is green screen when using adobe photoshop ... I believe it has something to do with cable bandwidth, I notice when the screen resolution set to 1440P 240hz the colors move to 8bit instead of 10 bit and I believe photoshop is trying to force 10 bit color and that cause the green screen .. lowered the refresh rate to 120hz with 10-bit colors solved the issue (still using 240hz in gaming without any issues)
@@estoylisto Either your monitor o cable needs upgrade.
sadly, I can relate with some of these issues with amd gpus. I am using an rx 6900 XT on a brand new ryzen cpu pc that hasn't touched any NVDIA card ever. and the card is just... weird, in some light tasks it performs really bad compared to a mid-range nvidia gpu. and in some heavy tasks it performs really good. it's just so inconsistent. and then its software is worse. a lot of crashes happen and poor performance on non-heavy stuff like I said before. AMD really have to work A LOT on their software/drivers. It has some amazing things but too many issues. I hope it gets fixed because these are high-end, expensive gpus. I don't want to believe like I totally wasted my money.
Subscribed ! I was going to get this card because of its price and vram compared to the 4070 / 4070 ti , sad because if its this unstable on editing software alone it wouldnt be worth to my eyes , on top of that ive been hearing alot of people saying this card causes black screen and occasional crashes .
When do you think Hip RT gets fully implemented by gpu renderers such as redshift?(or out of beta in blender?)
