AMD vram issues?

Any1 with an AMD gpu having trouble with game freezes and black screen?

Just got my 9070xt and its horrible in this game…..even my 2070 super performed better….Everything is set to low and yet it still uses SO MUCH VRAM!???

i have a Rx 7800 xt and im running on damn low settings at 2560x1440 yet my Vram is slowly going up to 16gb and then the 1 min freeze start to happen where i have to reboot the game to get the sound back. Vram leak even ram leak has been just flat out clownish that they never going to fix it. been an issue since release. if i turn up texture to ultra i can play more or less for an hour before i have to reboot the game or it will just 100% crash if i try world boss. so low let me atleast play the game 2-3hours before it either freeze up for a hole min and nuke my sound or just flat out crashing. im trying out driver 25.12.1. if it keeps doing it i might give it a try to uninstall AMD Adrenalin and only have the driver installing as i know Adrenalin is nothing but issues mostly.

My spec
Win11
Cpu rx7800x3d
Gpu rx 7800 xt
Ram 64gb 6000mhz Gskill
Mobo Asus Tuf Gaming B650-plus (no wifi) with latest bios
Psu Corsair RM 1000x (2021) Gold

I’ve tried everything, even what a blizz supporter told me to try, and even tried yours by uninstalling amd adrenalin and nofthing changes.

This game is just pure trash, with bugs since its beta time and blizzard wont do a damn thing about it. All they care about is money and not their community.

PoE2 is it then, cus i wont spend anymore time playing this shit

i could also just play something els and not having this crashing issue. the fact is this is D4 not PoE! both D4 devs and Amd really need to pull the finger out of there nose digging after gold and start working on a propper fix as it really hurts the reputation in the long run.

Running rtx 4080 with drivers from 2024 December as everything after has been a total disaster and all settings in highest possible without raytracing as I did not just see much of a difference with raytracing but sure heats up CPU much more (without 4k resources as I play in 1k) and have not had any kind of freezes or lags. Loads fast and what not.

You sure its the GPU causing issues? how much RAM you have and its speed? CPU information?

In Nvidia, people have had differences (big ones) when using game ready drivers and studio ready drivers, but im not sure if AMD has different ones like this one but on Nvidias end you could change those and see if anything changes.

I’ve had graphics glitches and lag with a system that was running it fine beforethe expansion, Im also getting sound glitches and crackiling that make playing with sound impossible. again only on this game and only since patch

i tryid to uninstall the ultra texture and disable amd Freesync both in my monitor settings and on the amd adrenalin setting even Vsyn off aswell ingame. so far i am atleast able to play 3 to 6 hours before it randomly crash with an error report you can pointlessly write to a D4 dev that they are still lazy as all hell to fix this issues that has been going strong at it for years now..

Since S11 i’m having random freezes for like 10-20sec once in a while after playing for some time.

The game doesn’t crash, just seems to dump the VRAM like it does when you exit the game.

4090 here btw. Never had any VRAM issues before in this game (had lots with my 8GB 2070S though).

Kinda funny that they just don’t seem to be able to fully fix the VRAM management in D4.

Maybe ask some ID-Tech devs for help, they know something about optimization :slight_smile:

Oh and yes, there is a gfx glitch for me too, seems like a specific type of transparent texture just shows up as black… happens especially in these Vessel of Hatred “worm tunnels", like those in D2 Act2.

No RT enabled btw since it hits the CPU too hard and has barely visible improvements.

Driver is 572.16.

The game definitely has some memory leak issue, just like in the beta. At 1440p max setting (without RT) 16 GB vram should be more than enough. With overkill texture settings the game almost instantly crashes with ‘out of memory’ message. Turning down the setting one notch to ultra, i can play for long hours without problem while vram almost full. Unless i forget to close firefox, game crashes with it open sometimes.

I have a 9070XT (25.11.1 driver) + 32GB ram, should be more than enough.

It worked fine after release (with 6900XT), guess they brought back this bug again somehow…

i don’t seem to have issues here, 5800X3D and 6800XT with older drivers and recently updated (2 weeks ago or so). playing 2560x1440.
sure, vram is almost maxed out, but the game is stable (except for the loading-into-town-stutter…).

only had vram-issues during the beta-weekends where the game was horribly optimized.

so, i wouldn’t blame amd,

And this is your culprit. In case you turned off the windoze swap file, win tends to run out of memory.

At most, D4 only uses less than 18GB of RAM, however win uses ludacris amounts of it. My Firefox with four open tabs uses 1800MB of RAM.

My M$$$ swap is off and D4 crashed a lot, so now I use my 64GB kit. It runs much better now, but still has some loading issues whenever I teleport to a new region.

Since I am too lazy to look, I assume win$$ is doing some shit in the background just to annoy me.

Nope, it clearly and instantly crashes when it runs out of vram. System ram is around 18-19GB. I tested it again a few times, it even caused a blue sceen once.

Are you serious?:rofl: I run my game flawlessly with only 16gb ram, 32gb is more than plenty for D4 + background stuff, and 64gb is way overkill. Clearly NOT the culprit lol!

This sounds a lot like its a your end issue. Never have experienced any sound glitches nor visuals.

Bad energy with people going overboard with their PCs. Nobody in the world even streamers do not need 64gb of ram, nor 50x series graphicscards which were just a scam yet people did not see through it.

Ive noticed the better PC = more issues. These people with 64gb ram sticks etc. are always hurting.

I’ve been getting freezes and crashes since I upgraded my build June 2025. 9800X3D/9070XT/32GB Ram. I have a friend that has the same build and has the same issues. WAY TOO MANY HOURS trying to get this stable with Diablo 4. Best I got before I found a solution was April 2025 AMD Drivers and no Adrenalin installed. It would pause once in awhile (8 sec system hangs at most) but never fully crash. Its the only game I have issues with!!! Season 11 came and I did a clean install Win11 25H2/AMD 25.12.1/ With and Without Adrenalin and Diablo 4 just crashes 3-5 times an hour. I got frustrated and reinstalled my RTX 2080 Ti for Season 11…. not a single hang, no stutter… it played perfect. Nearly a month later it still plays perfect. I’ve reinstalled my 9070 XT and moving on for now. Maybe this post helps.
