i dont think this is the case. as it ran fine when i was using my TR 1950x and Polaris.
just to make sure there is no driver conflicts, i wiped my ENTIRE windows drive and started from scratch when i upgraded to Navi.
UPDATE: reverted to a driver version that doesnt require a workaround to avoid bloat. (26.20.13001.40003)
there is no change in the behavior of the system.
a bunch of programs that do many things, the only reason i want to avoid this bloat is because installing it brings the GPU’s fan from idle speed to zero. and that is unacceptable to me, as with fans at zero, Navi idles at 60C. with the idle speed, Navi idles around 35C.
i am now trying to install the newest drivers with all the bloat they come with.
UPDATE: installed the latest drivers with all their bloat.
it scores about 50fps in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast benchmark. which is unacceptable for Navi10
