AMD RX 6000 series driver issues & workarounds
I assume you mean 7900 XTX. Anyway, not sure if this was VR specific or in general: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...river-issues-workarounds.607423/post-10048218
From AMD's "Known issues" for the 7000 Series cards:
Some virtual reality games or apps may experience lower than expected performance.
So, may need the next driver release or so to 'catch up' with VR performance.
But I should be able to give you an accurate reply sometime tomorrow.
My 7900 XTX was running EDO, in VR, with everything maxxed out, at 90 FPS on my index earlier today. So, at a guess, I'd suggest that, for me at least, it is working in VR in EDO.
I'll be even more interested to see how it performs once the VR caveat is 'fixed' and VR runs at the expected performance, but that may be a way into the future.
How unfortunate. Perhaps you should return it as faulty.
I'll visit an AX planetary port and see how mine behaves. I'll record it with a frame counter visible, and post here later.

What CPU is this paired with?
There are batches of reference 7900 XTXes with defective vapor chambers. A demanding title like EDO could easily cause problems with them.
There are, certainly. EDO could stress them enough to get them a little warm!
I admit that it was with that lottery in mind that I chose an AIB card with their own Heatsink assembly and 3 power connectors - and a hiked price to boot!
I've just done a quick stint at a planetary port and didn't drop below 100 FPs (1440, maxxed out quality settings) I'll record some tomorrow, it is late.

AMD have said there are a small batch of GPUs where there is insufficient water in the vapour chamber of the XTX and their support will replace the GPU if you contact them.
Listen for a couple of minutes from the timestamp.
I have always played with orbital lines off so this problem doesn't affect me 
The latest driver for the 7900 XTX doesn't have this issue, I'm happy to say.
Oh thank God you told us. This information will be crucial in fixing the issue for the people it does affect.I have always played with orbital lines off so this problem doesn't affect me
That's the "recommended" 22.11.2 WHQL then ?
Hmm... I think I'll give it try then even though I'm still on a RX 6900 XT... (XFX MERC 319 Limited Black Ed. with XTXH chip)
That driver is only for the 7900 XTX (& XT?) I'm afraid. I had very good results with the latest AMD driver and the 'Fix #2' that Morbad suggested on my 6900 XT.
Sorry, I read that as 22.12.2 my error.

Hmhm... it was a bit misleading, drivers for both chips are listed under Adrenalin 22.12.2 but with different release dates.
But maybe I'll give it a try anyways and hopefully the orbit lines are back to their former state on RX 6900, too.

22.12.2 still has orbit line issues on my AMD cards.
I could probably modify the .inf and install the 7900 XTX driver on my 6000 series parts, but I highly doubt they are actually different drivers in any way that would be meaningful to the 6000 series cards.
Anyway, there was no 'former state' for the 6000 series orbit lines. I've had a 6800 XT almost since it launched and the orbit line AA has always been broken.

How about Thin orbit lines and wierd looking planets that other AMD users have consistantly reported?
Yup, I noticed that, too, sadly still the same.
Right, they were broken since I installed the RX 6900 XT. What I actually meant was a return to the "normal" (unbroken) state as with my former RTX 2080 card...
Orbit lines are normal, as are planets. But, the 'Fix #2' lines may still be active, I've not checked yet.
I'm trundling around atmo landables scanning Bio and have not seen any corrupt bodies so far.
