I just lost my Control save data trying to update my AMD driver to 20.2.1
Reverted straight back to 19.12.3. Be careful AMD brehs....

AMD really needs to find a way of getting rid of ATI stink that still plague the drivers or start from scratch. They can't continue to afford having bad drivers with their GPUs doing good right now.

You would think with a whole new architecture, they would start from scratch. :patrice:
There could be many reasons why they didn't start from scratch, but mostly you can tell they're betting mostly on DX12 and Vulkan. However, they still have issues with games running on DX11 and their GPUs aren't recommended for emulators (I think their CPUs have gotten better when it comes to emulators). At the end of the day, AMD overspent buying ATI and with getting them comes with the problems they have. AMD can't ignore the problems forever, so they may have to make a choice like I said in my previous post.

I'm thinking about making upgrades to my CPU and RAM. Right now I have an i3 4160 and 8GB RAM. Would I have to change my power supply (currently 650W) to make those upgrades? :jbhmm:

Psu should be fine. but you’re gonna need to upgrade the motherboard if you gonna upgrade the cpu. As far as the RAM? Up to you.
