It is clear that in recent years, Advanced Micro Devices, better known as AMD, has made great strides with its products. Whether it’s being technically bankrupt or being able to look your main competitors in the eye. But, AMD with your graphics cards Radeon 7000 he has a problem that has not been corrected for months.
It must be said that AMD was several years ahead of Intel in the manufacture of modular processors. In the end, the monolithic design used by Intel turned out to be inefficient and quite useless. Despite the initial problems, the company has made tremendous progress.
The same thing happens with corporate graphics cards. Since ditching the ill-fated Vega architecture for dedicated graphics cards, they’ve come a long way. RDNA has proven to be a brutal GPU design that is in many ways capable of taking on the NVIDIA RTX.
A problem that has been around for months
Although the design of processors and graphics cards has improved a lot, some problems remain. Specifically, the company continues to limp in the pilots’ section, where they have yet to take off. Even some solutions should, like the case of HYPR-X.
A few months ago, one of your controllers was generating bugs in standby power consumption on AMD RX 7000. Concretely, when the graphics card is at rest it has an abnormal consumption. It’s not excessive, we’re talking about about 20-30 wattsthat even if it’s little, it’s a consumption that doesn’t do a real job.
AMD promised to fix this error a long time ago, but to this day it is still present. He Adrenaline Driver 23.7.1 WHQL partially corrects the problem. Although indicated, it fixes the high power consumption problem with monitors of 4K resolution @ 144Hz with FreeSyncThat is not exactly correct.
ComputerBase wanted to verify this information. You have measured the consumption of a RX 7900 XTX there there is always an excess of energy consumption. This abnormal consumption appears when the refresh rate of the monitor is lower than 144 Hz in 4K resolution.
We can say AMD isn’t actually lying, as they apparently patched it for 4K resolution and 144Hz or higher refresh rate. The problem is that most monitors of this resolution have lower frequencies. Which generates that users have a higher consumption than they should.
AMD Software Problems Persist
One of the company’s unfinished business is offering drivers and tools that work right out of the box. The company works hard to have profits that match its products. It’s not always easy, especially with the launch of Windows 11.
It should be remembered that Windows 11 is specially optimized for Intel solutions. This is something that Microsoft itself has commented on, acknowledging that they created this operating system for the new architecture of blue processors.
Yes, you should be concerned that Windows 12 has a lot of integration with artificial intelligence. Currently, OS updates are like a kick in the real earrings. We don’t want to imagine what a mess it will be with the AI and everything it will touch. Most likely we will experience serious performance issues or misconfigurations because “the AI says so”.
