Does rolling back drivers fix RX 7650 GRE stuttering in Nightingale?
Walking through the fantasy forests was a nightmare; the screen would just shudder every time I hit a patch of vegetation. The latest drivers for the Sapphire RX 7650 GRE have some serious compatibility issues with the vegetation shaders, causing frame times to jump wildly between 12ms and 45ms. I tried enabling FSR 3 Frame Gen, but while the average FPS went up, the screen tearing was just weird and unstable. I used DDU to completely wipe the drivers and rolled back to a stable version from three months ago, then manually disabled Radeon Anti-Lag. In RTSS, the frame time graph finally flattened out to 14-18ms. I did hit a snag where some system components threw compatibility warnings after the rollback, but reinstalling the DirectX runtime fixed everything. GPU temps are holding at 64-70℃ with fans at 1300 RPM. After two hours of exploring, the RAM is stable at 58-63℃.
