INVESTIGATION: Poor Performance & Power Draw Issues Impacting AMD Radeon 6000 - 9000 Series GPUs

Hi @FatsharkJulia, I’m so glad you acknowledge the issue and actively working on it with AMD.

  • SMT on or off doesn;t change much
  • latest Adrenaline 25.5.1
  • Darktide is my most probelmatic game in terms of stuttering, so yes
  • clean windows install with 9070xt, DDU every GPU driver update

I applied fixes from post, tomorrow will post how it looks like on stock settings: I fixed stutter and textures not loading in! (Texutre streaming config file change)


Game has heavy stutters every *teen seconds. I’m playing with RT and FSR4 quality on 3440x1440 screen, experience looks like this:


Edit: this is about 60s tour over Mourningstar lobby.

I see that the card can achieve very playable RT expeience, but these ocassional stutters kinda ruin it

Edit2: completely stock config file:

Although this tour had less big spikes the overall lows and avg are noticeably lower that the case with fixes.

Edit3: 8 Minutes of staring at the wall…
