It's common to find recommendations to disable AV software when installing drivers. Any drivers. A 'power user' would or should know this. Blaming AMD for something your AV program is doing, it ridiculous. Top tip, disable your AV or get a better one.

You're welcome.

Never had to do it before.

And as I pointed out I am not using a third party anti virus.

Sounds like AMD Big Navi might be a bit of a damp squib after all :(

2 years and according to the most recent leaks they've only managed to get performance on par with 2080Ti (or slightly more in games AMD do well in)

This won't help with Nvidia's top tier pricing for their next lot of GPUs
If this is the case you would have to wonder what AMD has been doing the last year or so but then if it is true and they can price it around £450 it could be a masterstroke.

Must have been on medium settings and not on AAA titles

Does between 100-120+fps at 3440x1440 in the majority of titles at max or very near max settings. Requires similar power as 4k 60hz which the Ti can do without much issue.

I say near max as most absolute max settings do next to nothing visually but have a massive impact on performance. Such as RDR2.

"No sources are mentioned though, and lately it seems more guesswork from these twitter users rather than solid concrete info."
Yea. Anyone can make this stuff up. Will wait and see. If true, there is a huge gap between the 3070 and 3080 this time. Will be interesting to see what the performance and price difference is.

£450?

AMD's last two flagships have been £600+. With inflation, big navi will be £700+. No chance of £450.
