9070xt Problem

Hello,

Since installing my 9070XT, I can no longer play Raceroom. The mouse cursor has a square background, and I have two narrow black bars running from top to bottom of the screen, about 20 cm left and right of the center. Other games work without issues... I've reinstalled the drivers several times and deleted and reinstalled the game once.

Before that I had an rtx 3080 in operation

Try a DXVK version. Or if you already use it, try a normal version.

 

If I set the anti-aliasing to 8x, I either get a black screen and the game freezes, or I get these black bars. Without anti-aliasing the game runs perfectly normally with vsync. I haven't tried lower AA, and the problem doesn't seem to make any difference between windowed mode, full screen, etc. My mouse pointer in Raceroom also has a blue square background, but apart from the visual aspect the function is not affected. With AA switched off I can at least play now. Does anyone have any ideas? Raceroom is the only game with this problem, all the other games worked straight away after I changed the graphics card.

dxvk makes no difference​

 

i would try using DDU to clear everything from nvidia if u just uninstalled it

DisplayDriverUninstaller from guru3d.com
https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

specialy when u change brands
it will delete everything that belongs to nvidia/amd if needed and make a fresh start with gpu

 

I've been using DDU for a while now, and I'm surprised that the F1 24 benchmark at max with ray tracing and The Division 2 at max details work without any issues. I don't think it's the power supply; I have a 750W power supply. Since all games run flawlessly, I don't understand what's happening in Raceroom...

 

I have good news, apparently the problem is with PCIE5! I set my graphics card to PCIE4 in the BIOS and was able to play without any problems without any further settings. To be on the safe side, I deactivated the igpu, I think that has nothing to do with it, otherwise I would probably have had problems with the previous graphics card. PCIE5 problems apparently according to other forums NVIDA and AMD.

I was able to run an entire race with PCIE4 without any problems!!

 

Hello, me again
Now I seem to have really found the final solution to the problem. The 9070XT only crashed in the raceroom for me. In old reports on the rt 6000 and 7000 series I found the solution to the problem by installing the AMD Pro drivers and it works, for whatever reason my graphics card boosts the GPU clock to well over 3300Mhz and then hangs with a blue screen or freeze and restart.

Here is the link to the AMD Pro drivers, this should probably solve the problem for others too. According to YouTube, there are no performance restrictions for all games. The latest driver is probably 24.Q4.

Glad you found a solution. Does it look like AMD cut too much from their normal drivers? Something that is required for how Raceroom works?

 

I don't know enough about it, I've only found reports in which people had problems with old games and previous generations of graphics cards. e.g. share with the old Command & Conquer, Pro Evolution Soccer 2017. Current games ran without any problems for me, Raceroom with DirectX 9 is not the only game with an older engine that I own, but it is the only one I have played with the graphics card so far. Indiana Jones, The Division, F1 24, Le Mans Ultimate, etc., all games play without any problems. I read two things, either missing or not complete dx9 support or something with the shadercache. Here is a YouTube video, AMD pro driver vs Adrenaline.

 

Bought a RX 7800 XT and I had this same issue.
I can confirm this driver fixes it, BUT I had to use this 2024's version of it. Installed a 2025 version and the square mouse is back again.

 

Hey,is your game sound okay?
Here, I'm using headphones connected to my ASUS motherboard's audio device (Realtek audio) and I hear a lot of crackling, especially in the RR main menu. I can mitigate this by reducing the music volume to zero.
This issue disappears when I use the monitor's audio output, which uses GPU audio through the video port.

 

I couldn't install the Pro Drivers for my RX 9070 XT and my solution to a really bad performance was to enable Resizable BAR in the BIOS.
The game was running on low settings at 45 FPS and have now gone up to +100 FPS on Ultra

 

100fps, is that all, are you using just the game or running obs etc in the background?

I get well over 250fps on ultra settings, had to turn off the MSSA multiplier and leave adrenaline standard so no overclock, I do run a 7800X3D but I can't see how that would make such a big difference.

 

Nah, that's not all, it's more like the bottom line.
On the Nordschleife with 31 AI cars the fps never dropped below 100 again, that's why i said +100 FPS.
Depending on the load it's more like 120 to 270 FPS with 8xMSAA on an I7 8700k and PCIe 3.0x16

 

In ma case, game run till loading track - screen makes green and red, and game freez. Turn off motion blur help.

 

Don't know what that is but try running in dx mode on start up to see if any thing different.

 

The same in dx and dxvk. Newest amd drivers 26.2. only turnoff motion blur fix this.

 

AMD graphics cards have very poor support for RaceRoom. I recently switched to an Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, and all the issues have been resolved.
