I reported earlier this week on a bug within AMD's GPU driver suite, wherein a misfiring utility was accused of making huge amounts of erroneous storage writes. Some AMD graphics card owners reported their SSD health dropping by up to 1% per month, but a fix has finally arrived.
AMD Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1 is an optional update, which means you'll need to download the installer yourself. However, according to the topline notes, the update fixes "excessive writes to the system drive" at idle for Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards and above.
AMD's wording suggests that older GPUs might not be affected by the bug, but some of the user reports mention RX 6000-series cards, so it's unclear if a fix for earlier models is still in the works.
