AMD Reviews 268

I am extremely unsatisfied with my current, ongoing RMA experience. I have purchased a 7800x3D back in March of this year. Everything worked fine until July when my PC just turned off dead. After some debug I have narrowed the issue down to either my CPU or motherboard. Since I have never had issues with my CPUs before, I have suspected the issue is with the motherboard. I sent the unit back under RMA and received a brand new motherboard within 2 weeks. (Thanks to ASUS for that)

However, I still faced the same issue as before. I have decided to return my CPU which was purchased from a vendor in Germany. (I am from Ireland btw.)
After some debug steps they suggested, finally I have been issued an RMA form and my CPU has shipped back to them at the beginning of August. Now its 2 months and I still have no information about the RMA. I have been asking for updates, but they say this is all with the manufacturer (AMD) and they ask for my patience.

You're AMD software application is terrible, I cannot change my GPU settings because the application never displays. This, issues been around for awhile now and yet you still have done nothing to fix this. Please stop wasting people's time and money!

Everything went has expected and shipping was fast . Amd makes great products

Ive been building PCs since 1998 and have always used AMD processors . I have never had 1 fail me up until this month . From me first making a RMA on Friday , posted on Saturday i got the replacement CPU 6 days later . Posted from the UK to Holland and the new CPU Holland to UK .
That is unbelievable service , i wish a lot more companies operated as efficiently !
And a big thumbs up to DHL for being the courier service .

I’ve been struggling with installing AMD GPU drivers on Linux, and it’s been a consistent issue for years. Despite the long history, AMD has not managed to provide reliable, up-to-date drivers for Linux systems. The installation process is riddled with errors, and there is a severe lack of official support.

Instead of getting proper assistance, users are left to navigate community forums, which are filled with numerous unresolved problems, especially for various Ubuntu versions. This makes the whole experience incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.

I cannot recommend AMD GPUs for anyone using Linux due to these persistent driver issues.

I've owned the R9 290, RX 460, RX 550, RX 590, 6700xt, and 7800xt. Never had major issues on new AMD products, every software bug I've complained about has been ironed out through driver updates, the only issue that ever really bugged me was flickering on the 500 series.

But that pails in comparison to problems with the Nvidia control panel. Their drivers were so bloated, with each subsequent update, stutters would constantly get worse. Mind you I started from the GT-210, then 510, GTX 760, 680, r9 290, 980, rx 460, rx 590, 1070ti, then 1080ti before I gave up on Nvidia. Now I've an all AMD build and it has 0 problems. Even my buddies and brother went full AMD and haven't had a problem.

My only recommendation is to locally buy your cards. AMD is notoriously bad with their returns, if you live overseas. Support has noticeably bad English translating and might misunderstand you. Not to mention the wait times haha.

You cannot get ahold of someone who can help.

Tried online forms, emails, instagram, facebook and twitter.

The online form on their website either doesnt work or you get no answer.
Cant be real i have to find and ask other customers for support for your own product???

great is good great great great good

As soon as I startup my PC, everything starts lagging and crashing and everything. I can’t even open an application without it freezing my entire system. What is wrong AMD Graphics and AMD Radeon. It’s a complete waste of money. Intel is so much better

good products that lasts and are completely customizable

They certainly lag behind their competitors, because my friend has bought their processor, he had a good graphical chip and the whole setup was good too, but the FPS drawdowns were severe. Know why? Cause their processor throttled.
Of course he had to get the processor back and exchange it on a new model. Afaik, the problem was solved, but unpleasant experience remains.
They are good actually, they create good solutions for gamers, but this situation...

I used since many years AMD Boards on 3 different Pcs. Today and thats not new, the Grafikdriver AMD Ryzen 7 5700G fail nonstop with bluescreen of death. If i delete the driver in the drivermanager from Windows not any bluescreen of death. But Microsoft install me, by open Internetconnection always a new driver from AMD and after it it crash again. Seems Amd get a sh.. on his customers and Microsoft dont test the Grafik what they install us automaticly, but over 250 Euro was for us a lot of money for a integratet Grafik in a 16 Kernel Prozessor with 32 GB of Ram. It get me even Bluescreen of death if the Nvidia was the active grafik in the Bios of MSI. I get this BSOD since over 10 Years with 3 different pcs and 3 different grafikdrivers nonstop. In between was good periods for 3 or 4 weeks and then crashes again. One of this was an AMD Radeon 3000 HD in Windows 10 bought 2019 from Conrad Elektronic through not supported grafikdriver after a view month and standarddriver from Microsoft, 2010 - 2019 a Laptop Satellite from Toshiba L875D with an AMD Radeon 7610M always many crashes trough the years and only trouble, but now i must finish since many years Papers for the Lawyer and i cant do that, because i must set up and install always the Pc new. So i think its not my fault that i can not finish my work because your AMD crash service is malwareinfected and let my pc always crash down. You pay the bill not i. But one thing i can say, It was my last motherboard with AMD. The next board will be an Intelboard. My actual Board is an MSI MPG B550 Gaming plus. I can be lucky that i have an additional Nvidia 1050ti in my PCI Expressslot since 2020 so i can test if its your driver, because i have then an additional Nvidia-Grafik who dont do trouble. But your AMD Adrenalin driver do always big troubles since many years. And now i dont have find at the moment not any Adrenalindriver to download for my board only Chipsetdriver not more. And it was not a fault Biosentry or a fault RAMentry in the Bios it was clear your driver, if i reinstall it to microsoftbasicdriver everything works well but i can not work with a too small displayresolution on my desktop. All of them was set to the correct programresolution as the beforedriver who work for a view weeks and not overclocked. I think AMD did the crashes for AMD Boards with KI AMD Crash service to hope that the user get mad and buy an big expensive PCIExpress Grafik from AMD. I dont trust you anymore and it was definitly my last AMD Board. It is good that i collect crashvideos on my PC from Handy outside from the PC for the Lawyer that he belive me. I stand since 2010 in the dirt with not working AMD Grafikdriver.

AMD processors are for the geeks. You have to install them into your motherboard differently from the Intel. They require way better cooling options. But in the end they offer a great value for money if you think about it.
Plus none of my several AMD processors brought me troubles whatsoever.

I have been using AMD for more than 5 years and I even have their new gen processor AM5 based one, IDK why people are blaming it lol. Intel did you paid them?

Not sure why people cry about AMD. Their products are amazing.

Bought amd 6650 xt graphic card with 2 rewarded games times ago. Card works good and one of the rewarded games is working great, the other game (Dead Island) released 5 months later and does nor work at all with the card i purchased. Wrote 6 times to the game support did not solve it. Wrote AMD rewards to tell that it is not all right one promised game is unusable, answer was "it is not our concern.. Solve it with others". So if you buy an AMD, do not get cheated by any free games or software, just check if they are released and stable before buying..

Dear AMD,

I write to express my profound dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs surrounding the High end AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor. Having acquired this processor at a significant cost exceeding 1000 euros merely six years ago, I find it completely unacceptable that it is now deemed incompatible with Windows 11. Such a level of obsolescence is unequivocally unacceptable, especially given prevailing legislative frameworks.

I would like to draw your attention to relevant European laws regarding reasonable driver updates. Pursuant to the European Union Directive 1999/44/EC, Article 5(1), it is clearly stipulated that "the seller shall deliver goods to the consumer which are in conformity with the contract of sale." Furthermore, Article 5(2) affirms that "the goods shall be presumed to be in conformity with the contract if they [...] are fit for the purposes for which goods of the same type are normally used."

As a consumer, I have the reasonable expectation that a product of this nature would receive ongoing driver updates to maintain compatibility with modern operating systems. The current lack of support for Windows 11 represents a clear violation of these legislative provisions and highlights a disregard for consumer rights.

I demand that you take immediate action to rectify this situation in accordance with European consumer protection laws. It is incumbent upon AMD to fulfill its obligation to provide reasonable and timely driver updates for its products, ensuring their continued functionality and compatibility.

I expect a prompt response outlining the steps AMD will undertake to address this issue and provide a satisfactory resolution. Failure to do so will leave me no choice but to pursue further legal avenues to safeguard my rights as a consumer.

Cordially,
