When it comes to graphics processing, AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs are supposed to be some of the top performers on the market. Unfortunately, a nasty driver bug has been discovered that is significantly reducing the performance of these GPUs when running on Windows 11.
According to reports from users, the bug appears to be related to AMD’s graphics driver software and it causes the RDNA 3 GPU to run at a much slower performance level than expected. The bug manifests itself when the GPU is running on Windows 11, with no issues reported for other operating systems. This issue doesn’t appear to be occurring for every user, but those impacted are seeing a massive reduction in performance.
AMD has not officially commented on the issue yet, so the root cause is still unknown. However, gamers have been taking to forums to discuss the bug and many believe it is related to the display driver software. A temporary workaround is to switch to an earlier driver version, but this is a risk as earlier versions may no longer be supported and can be much less stable.
At this point, it is unclear how AMD will handle the issue. Some gamers hope AMD will provide a patch to address the bug, while others are worried AMD may leave the bug unresolved. AMD needs to act quickly and resolve the issue, as this bug is severely impacting the performance of their RDNA 3 GPUs in Windows 11 and could damage their reputation in the gaming community.
No matter the outcome, the bug serves as a reminder that although the AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs are powerful performers, users need to proceed with caution. While the GPUs may offer fantastic specs and performance, issues like these can occur unexpectedly, resulting in drastically reduced performance. Until AMD has officially addressed the issue, users should consider sticking to an earlier driver version as a safe-guard when running on Windows 11.
