For my experience on AMD graphics drivers, I first installed windows, finished all the windows update, and then only used the framework desktop driver bundle “Framework_Desktop_AMD_Ryzen_AI_Max_300_driver_bundle_W11_v101_2025_07_10.exe” and went off to installing software and playing games with no issues, having a good time with the unit.
I must have later on the week, decided to go to the AMD website and download “amd-software-adrenalin-edition-25.9.1-minimalsetup-250901_web.exe” to just download any latest drivers available. After installing this, I hadn’t noticed any problems till a day or so, probably after a reboot. I’d be getting errors[ Amdgpu kernel panics / display crashes - #4 by Nix1 ], bex64, short black screens, driver timeouts, and hard stuttering[Link to video of Rematch - Framework Desktop #community-support] playing games like Rematch or Borderlands 4 which made the game experience utterly unplayable, freezing and hitching every 2-5 seconds for .4-3 seconds at random, and random AMD pop-ups about a ‘driver timeout’. I’d also had a glitching view on my browser when viewing certain pages or Google Maps, Link to video of Google Maps - Framework Discord - #framework-discussion, where moving the map around would show that till the map loaded.
Running AMD cleanup and re-doing the framework driver bundle shown above resolved all of the issues above and have been able to play games without driver timeouts, black screens, crashes, etc. As of right now, with the current install I have, says 25.9.1 in the AMD Adrenalin panel. 2025.0825.0511.2068 in the about page and have been playing with the Variable Graphics Memory set to 16 GB this entire time since first install.
