How to fix random crashes on Vastarmor RX 9070 XT?

Every time I entered a lush jungle area, the game would just vanish and send me back to the desktop—it's honestly pathetic that a new architecture is this unstable. The Vastarmor RX 9070 XT was hitting a TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) error during massive shader compilations, which just froze the whole system. I tried closing every single background app, but that just made the loading times longer and I still crashed—a complete waste of my time. I ended up grabbing the latest Beta driver and manually nuking the 8GB shader cache to force a full re-compile. After that, I did 10 scene transitions in a row without a single crash; the stability is night and day. I actually had the driver installer fail the first time, so I had to use DDU to completely scrub the old version before it would take. The GPU stays around 68-75℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. I've backed up this driver config as a snapshot, and VRAM temps are holding steady at 78-84℃.
