Using the Ryzen 9 7940HS with the 780m graphics, and the 7700s graphics card.
I updated to the most recent andrenalin driver (24.7.1)i just to make sure it wasn’t something like that, since i know davinci has a hate/hate relationship with AMD drivers. has anyone else run into this issue?
I tried disabling the 780m graphics as well, but that just gives me a OpenGL error so I’m a bit at a loss here.
I know this probably doesn’t help much, but I’ve used Davinci Resolve a few times on my FW 16 with 7840HS and the 7700s and it worked fine. I’m planning to use it again this weekend. I’ll verify the version of Davinci I’m using (18.6 sounds right, but I want to double check) and let you know if it’s something other than than 18.6. Just FYI, I’m running Windows 11.
Which OS are you using? Installation was a breeze on Windows, but on Fedora it took some more steps to get it working.
I’m using Win 10! All the installation stuff went perfectly fine, but for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem to be connecting with the 7700s
Honestly i might just update to win 11 and see if that solves issues for me, can’t think of any better solutions as of right now.
Hmmm, I too am on Windows 10 and had no such hiccups. Not sure what to say beyond…try uninstalling and reinstalling stuff?
Just to double check, when you say “could not initialize GPU”, you’re talking about an error that prevented it from running? Or is it something I might be experiencing and not even know it because it still runs (though I’m pretty sure I’ve confirmed it is indeed using my 7700s)?
In the settings on Davinci, I saw something like primary and secondary GPU options. They are both “enabled,” but I wasn’t sure if it was using the 7700s either. I left AMD Adrenaline open while running Davinci Resolve and both the integrated and dedicated GPU were being utilized, with the greater load being on the 7700s.
Are you getting an error or anything?
I’m pretty sure your most recent Adrenaline driver is the issue.
So far, I’m under the impression that you’re not supposed to update your drivers from AMD’s website, but only from here on the forums (which should be automatically shipped through Windows updates if I heard correctly here on the forums).
Rolling back to the Framework drivers on the website (23.40.18.02 Released: 2/22/2024) solved all my framerate and crashing problems that I was having after updating my drivers from AMD’s website.
I don’t believe this is a thing. I am on later drivers downloaded directly from AMD and everything is fine. In fact, the Framework driver bundle doesn’t actually fully work for Windows 10. You need to get additional drivers from AMD.
I’m on Windows 11, not Windows 10, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. Either way, I was having high CPU utilization, high temperatures, low framerate, frame stuttering, etc. in all my games (Roblox, Minecraft, Helldivers 2, Fortnite, Rocket League) and this solved all that for me. I don’t really know because I haven’t seen anyone else talk about newer drivers being issues or not, and this hasn’t been confirmed or anything. It just seemed to have been a remedy for all my issues so I decided to share it.
I really think it’s more likely that it was the simple reinstallation of the drivers that fixed it, regardless of the version. I experienced that once on my desktop, where some part of the driver becomes corrupt and a simple reinstall fixes it, and I think it’s worth a try in OP’s case too. I just don’t think there’s any reason to believe the newer AMD-sourced drivers are at all incompatible.
