How those AMD crashes though. All my friends in AMD CPUs have had a hell of the last two years with constant crashes in unreal engine games. Meanwhile, I made fun of myself for buying an ancient 11 series which is a decade old arch at this point but is rock solid.

AMD CPU, AMD GPU, zero crashes here. No crashes on the Steam Deck either, which is also 100% AMD.

The common denominator to the crashes you mention might possibly not be AMD? Do you friends perchance play on Windows?

Just to point out that those crashes are specific to Windows: current generation of consoles run the same UE games with no crashes.

RX 9070 here. Works fine for me on Linux, also runs ollama-rocm quite well, but don’t tell anyone.

Had those due to insufficient cooling in the case. Tell him to run the games without the side panel. I installed additional fans later and have had no such issue ever since. xt 7900

it took me around half a year to get an AMD integrated GPU working on linux

    AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE w/ Radeon 780M Graphics

the solution was adding amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffff7fff to the command line. Before that I could reliably crash the driver with firefox.

My AMD cpu died after 9 months. I've received money return, but still it leaves a bad taste.

Contrast that with Intel's last generation of chips, all of which started failing after a similar time period. AMD only need to be better than the competition.
