What's wrong with keeping the product you bought

I have this card. The 23.1.1 drivers were great, the 23.2.1 broke modern warfare 2 performance for me. The 23.2.2 releases yesterday bootloops my computer into blue screens. So yeah go with 23.1.1, I'm about to try a DDU on the failed 23.2.2 attempt and try again. Coming from a 3090 i really miss nvidia drivers already.

Yeah, it sucks NVidia stuff is so damn pricey… but man it's still way better, if nothing else the drivers and SW. I picked up a Demon 6900XT a while back and instantly missed NVidia's drivers/software when I installed it.

Lol, im like the opposite. I went AMD gpu recently from nvidia, and man the Adrenalin software is so, so much better than nvidia control panel. So much sleeker and professional looking, with more customizing and tailoring your card to do exactly what you want it to, whereas nvidia control panel looked like it was made by 3 dudes in a basement 15 years ago, with barely anything to customize.

You're right in that regard. It says a lot when we Nvidia users have to use a third party software made by one guy in Russia (MSI Afterburner) to tweak our cards. And that one dev has currently stopped developing Afterburner because MSI hasn't been able to pay him for months, since he's in Russia. Nvidia, being as massive a company as it is, can't pay a couple people to do what one computer hobbyist in Russia does. I've been running Nvidia cards for over a decade, but I really hope AMD puts a hurting on Nvidia next generation, especially with what they've done with the pricing/naming of 40 series. I'm rooting for Intel, as well. We need competition.

come it says "Shop with confidence." right on their Authorized Brands page!!!!
(then clearly doesn't have an XFX or NVidia logo)
https://www.aaawave.com/authorized-brands/

on the product page, but they can obviously type anything they want Wink

"Returns Policy
All products sold by AAAwave.com are brand new and carry the manufacturer's full warranty. All products advertised as BULK or OEM are brand new and carry the manufacturer's full warranty."

and this, they sure don't want your returns...
"Extra Charge
There is a restocking fee of 15% on all returns for refund. We charge this 15% restocking fee for all returns for refund to encourage customers to purchase products they intend to keep. We offer RMA replacement without any restocking fee to customers who have received a defective product. Shipping costs is non-refundable."
"Customer's Duty
aaawave.com does NOT offer "Advanced Replacement" for the exchange of defective merchandise. aaawave.com does NOT pay the return shipping costs for defective merchandise. We are NOT responsible for product defects, because we do not manufacture the products we sell. aaawave.com will pay for shipping "Back to the customer" for exchange of defective items."

i'd wait for someplace else myself...

Why would they have an Nvidia logo on a product page for an AMD card?

Did you fully clean out all of the Nvidia drivers and physx from the machine? Also in DDU settings, select to prevent Windows updates from pulling a driver down. Update your bios to the latest if you're on AM5, run sfc /scannow in terminal, and grab latest AMD chipset drivers if you are on Ryzen. If you have a monitor that can leverage HDR mode turn that on as well and observe behavior. Did you rule out the RAM causing lock ups? Any OC you have done on either the GPU or CPU?

Yes all of the above including a clean format to windows 10 from windows 11. It is absolutely a driver issue. I always choose clean install. The 23.1.1 worked fine when i got the card in January. Both releases since then have had issues

*AMD logo…
My bad.

Funny enough, since posting this, now there's an XFX logo on the Authorized Resellers page. So who knows, maybe they are? But it's the interwebs, they can add logos where ever they want 😉

I had to rollback my nvidia driver to 425.31, it is the last driver to allow 3d vision to work properly on my 3dtv, nvidia removed it from later drivers. Does the third party software made by the russian guy have newer drivers that allow 3d to work? And also, does AMD have this limitation on 3d that nvidia now has?

I'd personally never buy a component like this off a mystery website no one has ever heard of but to each their own.

Bought for $1050 on Amazon two weeks ago. This card does Returnal at 4k 120fps max (no RT though) and runs at a temp of 56C max in my rig. Card is amazing and puts my EVGA 3080 Ti to shame

zero issues with drivers and note the card length as it's huge. it also comes with a support bracket you screw into your case so no need for a support beam or bracket

Got the same card and have had zero issues. Upgrading from 3080 Ti.

Also I haven't had an issue with a driver since my Toxic 5850. Owned 4 AMD/Radeon cards and 7 Nvidia cards over the past 10-15 years
