    Radeon RX Vega Series graphics products may experience elevated memory clocks during system idle.

FFS when will they fix this problem? :mad:

Totally agree it's their flagship card so no excuse at all. Tried to install new driver and it just hung and then got BSOD with 'thread stuck in device driver'. Booted into safe mode and ran DDU then clean installed from downloaded file and all went well. Still sucks TBH they can't get simple things right and the elevated clocks issue has been around for ages so they need to get their figure out ASAP.

My current clock speed is 26mhz so it doesn't seem to affect me. Still shabby though.

When it comes to the Driver install issues people have, is it possible that AMD is doing it right and Windows/Microsoft is at fault? Heck, Microsoft can't even get it's own updates to not delete people's files, so how can we be sure they can get everything right when a 3rd party tries to install/update/change a driver?

One of the very first things I do when I install Windows, is I disable fast start, as it is just a hybrid hibernation that tends to cause problems with driver installs, among other things as it doesn't fully reset everything, and loads from a hibernation file. I have yet to have a problem installing drivers, other than when I caused the issue from doing something stupid, or when Microsoft/windows sticks it's finger in it, such as an update that screws up something forcing re-installing the drivers. Anti-Virus can also cause driver install problems. My point, is it may not always be AMD's/Nvidia's/etc fault but something else that is out of their hands.

As for the Memory clock speed issue, last couple of drivers, I have only had it happen when I overclock the memory. With this driver, I DDU and then installed and the problem is gone, the memory down clocks as it should, even when overclocked.

Interestingly with both the 18.10.1 I had installed over the top of the 18.9.3 and a clean install of the 18.10.2 is my monitor is set to 640x480 after coming out of suspend.
No errors listed in the events log only turning the monitor off and on resets it,cycling through the dvi>hdmi>displayport does not.

What makes it interesting is this started happening with Linux about a month earlier.
I was assuming it was due to all the kernel changes as they folded AMDKFD into AMDGPU.
Now I'm not so sure it may be due to a change in the AMD Open Source driver(Mesa) that got incorporated into the common shared code.

I was having a similar problem, ended up being a faulty Display Port cable.
 
i own a R9 390 and i have a small problem : The profile i set in the global settings panel never stick after a reboot , i need to reload the XML profile file everytime .. is there a trick to make it permanent ??

Normally, if the profile isn't sticking, then it is not completely stable, and it resets.
