Hello,
I have an AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D paired with a Radeon 9070 XT, along with 32 GB of RAM. During the final boss fight, I’m getting an “AMD driver timeout” error. Is there a workaround?

Re: Doom Eternal AMD driver timeout
Are you playing the map in OpenGL or Vulkan?
I'm not sure if it still applies today but it used to be that some Radeon drivers did not play well with GZDoom. Some mapper reported that downscaling the driver to an older version helped.
Or is this applicable?

Re: Doom Eternal AMD driver timeout
I believe the problem being referenced is with Doom Eternal, not GZDoom/UZDoom.
