Extremely disappointed to report that The Witcher 3 Remastered is completely broken on AMD hardware I'm playing on an RX 9070 XT and as you can see in this clip; the water glitches out, hair, skin textures are off and the grass is black. I was playing using 26.8.1... drivers, then upgraded to 26.9.1 optional drivers and the issue still presits. I've done some further research to see if this was a problem that was happening to me, but multiple AMD users have reported the same issue with the game. I tried turning Ray Tracing on/off, turning off HDR, disabled Nvidia hairworks, turned off upscaling and anti-lag to see if anything changes but so far the game is still broken graphically. AMD has yet to release a driver to support the title, but I don't understand how this issue was completely overlooked from both parties, how can a game come out in this state?show more

Quick update on this, Hardware Unboxed has already confirmed that this issue was present during their benchmarks and they did the benchmarks with a pre-release driver that CDPR sent them. Both Nvidia and Intel GPUs have received game ready drivers while AMD for some reason still hasn't released it.

Vanrath3 days ago

That‘s disappointing, I wanted to play today with my 9070 XT card. Never buying AMD again, just way too many developers care only about nvidia.

NikTek3 days ago

I can't help but blame AMD for this issue too. Both intel and Nvidia have received game-ready drivers while AMD has yet to release them.

they released 26.9.2 rn

@SynchPulse The official driver is now on amd website. Don't bother using that one

@NikTek yeah, the driver completely breaks the game. Stick with the stable version as I mentioned. 2026.04.15

It's the same thing for me, I saved a couple of hundred and now I have to wait for a driver update to play it. While other people are playing it. what is the point of buying AMD?

dan3 days ago

I have 9070 xt too, downgrading to 26.3.1 drivers worked for me. Also the nvidia Hairworks feature is bugged, cutting my fps in half lol, so i recommend turning this off

Well its CD Project Red what do u expect? 🤣 ofc they will release a mess

theredpikmin3 days ago

Why are we still rely on game ready drivers? Wrong API calls that needs to be fixed in driver? Missing API features?

Ya big fck up here not sure if from cdpr fault or AMD .CDPR tends to shit on amd thou. Same prob on my RX 7900XTX both with RT on or OFF or PT on or OFF 0 diff. Also the FSR F.G. is completely broken also, display tone of artifacts everywhere from the foliage and other objects

AMD hasn't released a driver with support yet—so what are they waiting for, a round of applause? Nvidia released a supporting driver even before the launch.

As usual, AMD is late. Try 26.3.1, which is way more usable. I still found some light leakage in certain area but I'm not sure if it's because of driver or game bugs. But the light leakegs are hard to see.

I tested out Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing turned on with RX 9070 XT now that FSR Redstone is out. By using the new FSR Redstone and FSR ML Based Frame-Gen, the game reaches up to 130FPS in 1440p with FSR set to Performance Mode. The performance gains are not that much higher compared to the previous versions of FSR but the image quality got a huge upgrade, especially when using Frame-Gen. This ML based Frame Gen is much better than the previous version as it gets rid of most artifacts and ghosting caused by the previous version. If for some reason you always wanted to play Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing turned on on an AMD GPU, now you can enjoy a playable experience with 100+ FPS on an RX 9070 XT. I still don't recommend it though as the frame pacing and input lag still feels off for me, I'd just rather play this without Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I'm going to test out Black Myth: Wukong next

Here's the performance tank again when enabling Ray Regeneration in Crimson Desert after updating AMD drivers to the latest Adrenalin 26.3.1 Safe to say that I won't be turning this on for the rest of my gameplay. If you have an AMD GPU how is your performance with Ray Regeneration turned on?

A weird issue that I'm having with the PC version of 007 First Light is some textures don't seem to load properly and are extremely low resolution. I don't think it could be related to low VRAM since I'm running this game on an RX 9070 XT which has 16 GB of VRAM and can't pinpoint what exactly causes this.

I'm playing GTA V on a PS3 and its been such a fun experience. I remember when was a kid and playing this for the first time, I didn't give a damn about how BAD the framerate was during driving. I was constantly in awe by how realistic this game looked back then that the framerate wasn't something that was going to stop me from enjoying it. Don't get me wrong, this game is running on a PS3 that has 256mb of RAM and 256mb of VRAM which is some black magic itself and the fact that Rockstar Games managed to have such a massive open world game with that much traffic and NPCs running in real-time is a feat on its own.

AMD has the opportunity to make the price to performance king. RX 9070 XT will be miles better than RTX 5080 if priced appropriately. We know by now that FSR 4 is miles better than FSR 3.1 as shown in this video here (credit: Hardware Unboxed) With the right marketing and highlighting the performance and quality jump that these new GPUs have, I could see AMD gaining a lot of GPU market share.

During DLSS 5 Hands-On Video, YouTube creator Hot Hardware asked Nvidia employees this question about the computational cost of DLSS 5 when you move around in the game and it really caught my eye on how they hesitated on showing any DLSS 5 footage during motion. Every time that he moved the character, he would turn off DLSS 5 first then move to a different in-game location and then turn it on, or if DLSS 5 was turned on the movement was very slow and controlled. I know this is still work in progress, but it really begs the question "why wouldn't they show any this?" or "why show DLSS 5 this early?" I tried freezing some shots when another character is in motion to check if there are any artifacts when DLSS 5 is turned on. As suspected, I did come across some artifacts with UI elements, character popping out of the UI element and ghosting/artifacts behind the character. Its still not the best way to judge these small details that you can clearly see if a footage is recorded in-game, but then again its not like Nvidia provided any of them during DLSS 5 marketing campaign. Whenever this is still going to be present by the time DLSS 5 launches remains to be seen, however as of right now it doesn't look like it will handle fast-paced motion quite well and I don't know how well this "controlled AI-generated" rendering will scale to weaker GPUs in the RTX 50 series

I’m 3 Minutes into the Official Mafia: The Old Country Gameplay Video and I’m already seeing issues with this Game. There’s this Gameplay section where Enzo drives a car and there are some clear stutters in this footage, not to mention the fact that this clip is trimmed up to show the best sections and even in those there are stutters? I can’t help but feel like there’s an apparent issue with almost every UE5 game that utilises fast traversal directly correlated to stutters, when driving cars always results in stutters and it looks like this Game is no exception either. I’m really hoping this game proves me wrong and the devs manage to flesh out all the stutters to give us a polished game but as far as I can see, this doesn’t look good for the Mafia: Old Country.

Pragmata Demo Gameplay The Game looks like its very well optimized and I haven't encountered any form of stuttering at Ultra Settings with Ray Tracing turned on You can check out this game for free on Steam if you're playing on PC I like how this is an action-style game with quick puzzles that you have to solve during a fight, 2026 is going to be an amazing year for gaming.

After having an amazing stream tonight, it sucks that I have to bring attention to the Elephant that was dropped off in the room this morning. With Tofu Chris needing take a break from socials, due to unwarranted backlash, I felt as if this was my breaking point with a problem I've seen going since chapter 5. The hyper-fixation of negativity in the Fortnite space is something that has not just been wearing on me, but my small little slice of the community as well. I love Fortnite, the devs that work on it, the content creators I've met, and the many lifelong friends this game has given me, but there is clearly a huge issue with the community consuming drama. I gave my full thoughts on the state of the Fortnite community today in my newest longform. If you care to hear what I have to say, the link in my bio will take you to my channel where you can view things for yourself. I don't hate anyone in this community, or wish harm on any person, but that lack of respect for others who are just trying to help and make things better from creators to devs, make it difficult for me to want to be as involved in the Fortnite space as I once was. You don't have to like what I had to say today, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

Draymond Green on Kevin Durant comments comparing the 2017 Warriors team with the upcoming Sixers team this season: “I think to understand this statement though, you always have to understand the way KD view basketball. And the way KD view basketball is very Uncle Drewish. This game will and always will be about buckets that’s how KD view the game. So when KD say, “Yo, they got four 25 point scorers, you have to understand in KD mind what that means.” So first off in order to understand Kevin’s statement, you have to understand his mindset and how he see the game and how he see the game. This game is about buckets. So when he mentioned, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers. Hell yeah, they’re going to be a contender. That’s how KD see the game. It’s going to be league pass worthy. Absolutely. But that is how KD see the game. So he’s going to mention to 25 point scorers. And I again I think everybody look at that and be like, “Oh man, that team is nothing like that team was like I don’t think he never said that.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Crimson Desert first impressions. The Open World is massive, it feels alive and it definitely holds up to my expectations when it comes to visuals. I know some reviewers have said the game takes up to 8 hours before it gets good but honestly I immediately fell in love with it and immediately started exploring. I found the puzzles and combat awesome to play with, once you get used to the controls which feel overwhelming at first, especially remembering all of them which can be a hassle first. The main protagonist Cliff hasn't clicked with me yet, right now I feel like he's just confused and there's not so much depth that he offers, I hope that will change as I progress through the story. The story itself and quests are quite interesting and I've actually had a good laugh in the beginning of the game when you have to help a couple struggling to clean the chimney. There are definitely some issues though, I feel like the starting stamina drains too quickly especially if you're using your wings to fly, if you run out of stamina while flying and fall into waters, Cliff will almost immediately drown because the Stamina bar is empty. I haven't encountered any bugs, crashes or stutters as of yet, however there are some ghosting issues when you enter buildings which can be quite distracting. Ray Regeneration on AMD GPUs tanks the performance so I just turned it off completely and instead I'm playing on Ultra Settings, which is a bummer because that tech looked very promising and made quite the difference when it came to visuals. Another weird issue that I had is trying to enter some doors or starting conversations with story character, the button to initiate the conversation wouldn't appear unless I went away and came back to a specific position before starting it. Some other issues include pop-in issues, camera movement and double NPCs with the same voice-lines if you greet them. Overall I think its a good start to a video-game that is quite massive in scale, there are still many things that I'll have to do and progress through before I give a conclusive opinion in this game.

I don't see a reason why Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced wouldn't include blood. This was likely turned off in the settings, it wouldn't make sense for Ubisoft to have this feature turned off especially right after the most brutal AC game they've ever made that was Shadows

LeBron James says playing all 82 games today is much harder than it was in the ’80s and ‘90s because the NBA is faster and puts more strain on players’ bodies “I want fans to understand that playing 82 games in the '80s and '90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It’s a totally different game now the pace, the speed, it’s just completely changed.” “When I first came into the league, the biggest injury concern was a high ankle sprain. You were genuinely afraid to take off into the lane because there were four or five guys sitting in the paint. If you landed on somebody’s foot, you were out four to six weeks.” “Now, the game is so spread open that you don't see that as much. But because of the pace, the new high ankle sprain is calf and soft tissue injuries. Hopefully, we can get a handle on that medically, but as NBA players, we definitely want to be out there as much as possible.”
