I was wrong about the New 23.2.1 driver with a RX7900XTX

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

I was wrong about the New 23.2.1 driver with a RX7900XTX

I replaced my 6600XT with an Asrock Tachi RX7900XTX and installed the latest drivers from AMD's site. The driver fell over half way through the 1st wu it did complete although at the speed of a RX6700XT. :cry: Wiped that driver and installed the 23.1.2 7900 series only driver and it's operating as expected. Hopefully AMD will restore OpenCL in the next unified driver release.

*EDIT*
Welp I was wrong. I thought I had the latest chipset installed 4.9 something turned out there is a newer version amd_chipset_software_4.11.15.3424.11. Once installed I used the amd driver uninstaller freshly downloaded in case the version I had was also older reboot installed the 23.2.1 Driver.
After folding a few work units I downloaded the new fah beta client. It seems to handle the new system better than the current v7 client. No thermal throttling, large power spikes ect.
