ok so my approach: make a restore point, download teh previous driver package so it's ready, then try the new one. if antyhing misbehaves, DDU and reinstall teh old one 馃檹 that makes updating a low-risk experiment. good luck man!

  1. Genuine question about update philosophy. My PC is stable on the previous release. The new Radeon Crimson Edition Graphics Driver lists fixes that dont really affect me. Do u update anyway for security and compatibility, or do you only update when a game or app needs it? I mostly do competitive gaming. I am curious how other people handle this, especially anyone who depends on their PC for work and cannot afford a broken evening.

  2. Read teh release notes on the AMD support page before anything else lol They list fixed issues and known issues. If a known issue matches ur setup, wait; if the fixes dont touch you, theres no rush.
