How to stop Radeon RX 7650 GRE from crashing in GTA VI?
Using this driver felt like playing Russian roulette. Under the neon lights of Vice City, I'd go from 90 FPS to 0 in three seconds. My Sapphire Radeon RX 7650 GRE 8GB was struggling with NPC occlusion culling, triggering a TDR timeout that froze my entire system—it was almost laughable how bad it was. I tried updating to the latest Beta driver, but that just made it worse, increasing crashes from once an hour to once every ten minutes. Absolute joke. I finally used DDU to wipe everything clean and rolled back to last month's stable build, while killing all third-party overlays. The crash logs showed that the memory access violations had completely vanished, and frame times stabilized at 16-21 ms. I noticed some slight flickering in the lighting after the rollback, but disabling 'Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling' fixed it. Core temps sat at 68-74℃ with power draw between 140-160 Watts. Exported the logs from Event Viewer and everything looks clean now.
