This isn’t a tech support post, more like a rant post. On the 7800xt a common issue is that if you run a hdmi monitor and a displayport one you get constant greenscreens unless you lower your clocks (which for some doesn´t even work). Thing is, that this was reported months ago and no solution has been made from AMD to fix this. I am very pissed off by this, because I was pretty sure that driver issues were a thing of the past, and if there were some issues they would get fixed at launch… (It isn´t windows only, the green screen comes in arch too) well nah, amd doesn´t learn. Another thing that makes me worry is that AMD doesn´t look like they will catch up to nvidia anytime soon, hell, FSR3 is still not released…
Was the 4070 ti the better choice? At this point I don´t know.

Drivers issues are the amd heritage
Well, after years of Nvidia I replaced my 3070 with a 7900XT recently.
I wiped old drivers with DDU and it works perfectly fine since I installed it a month ago. No issues.
Even 4070 is a better choice
I’m using all 4 outputs on my 7900XTX (3 DP, 1 HDMI) and do not ever have this happen. Make sure you’re using good cables, cheap DP/HDMI cables cause a maddening amount of issues.
Get better cables and stop jumping to conclusions about what’s causing your problems.
I run a 7800XT with a DP and HDMI, I have no issue at all. I suggest you find out what the real cause is. likely a conflict and not the driver.
I got a secondhand rx 6800 to my b550 + 5800X3D combo and had constant driver crashes for a month, which got increasingly worse as time went on. Trying something different every other day or so… finally they released a new bios and driver close together and they seemingly solved it.
Prior that on a b350 + R5 1600 combo the same card caused black screens, it took 2 weeks of tinkering and a Reddit post to make it stable on one DP monitor and had to temporarily abandon my main HDMI one.
In the recent years my coworkers purchased 5700XT, 6600 XT and 7800 XT, all because of my recommendations and all but the 6600 user experienced problems persistent across several driver versions.
I just can’t recommend RDNA cards anymore…They dont. If they did they wouldnt be amd then
I had the same exact problem with the 7800 xt. One monitor connected with HDMI and the other one with DP, this wasn’t a issue with rtx3070. Just buy a DP cable and don’t use hdmi, that solved the problem for me.
Don’t event need to read further than 2nd sentence…
How many times have we seen this already?
Dude. Replace. Your. Cable.
You’re not wrong, they’ve already abandoned my VEGA 64, lol.
The Nvidia glazing is crazy by some of y’all. Any attempt at troubleshooting? Replacing cables? Using display port for both monitors? Also the 7800 XT doesn’t compete with the 4070ti that would be the 7900 XT. Only issue I’ve had with my GPU is the custom fan curve reset and that was a windows issue that has been resolved I use 2 monitors both with display port and no issues.
I’d just return / RMA it. No way I’d go to the point of downclocking a card that’s supposed to work flawlessly out of the box with their given manufacturer specified clocks. I’m personally tired of beta testing for big tech companies. It’s the only way they’ll learn anyway.
its the smdip
Hmm happens in 2 completely different OSs that are definitely using completely different driver builds and code to interact with the card. Clocks are not the issue.
I call out the issue is actually with the monitor especially if it’s a green screen. If possible try a different monitor. or a different refresh. Most of the issues people are seeing like this or issues with power draw on idle, flickering refresh, etc. are due to monitor manufactures fudging the specs and actually running the monitor outside of VESA standards.
The other thing to check to see if your monitor has a firmware or driver/profile update.
Heck it can even be a subpar hdmi/Displayport cable.
