As a community, I think we need to create our list of issues since the
official lists from AMD and Nvidia mostly contain a few.
Now, please remember that not all of these are actual driver issues, but are instead caused by other reasons.
It could be inadequate cooling and components getting cooked during sustained loads. An old Windows installation getting re-used, with software running in the background that's causing stuttering or high DPC latency.Many users don't select the optional clean driver installation when installing new drivers, but this can lead to problems down the road.
Next, we have hardware problems. Many have reported issues with daisy-chained power cables. Upgrading a PSU has helped many. Low-quality power strips have been identified as instability culprits etc.
A lot of users haven't stability tested their system with OCCT, TestMem5, or similar for prolonged periods. If your system isn't stable when pushed a bit, then that can also result in issues during prolonged hours of gaming. Inadequate cooling can exacerbate the problems. Some PC-cases are more like heat-boxes.
A final note: Remember that graphic cards manufacturers have different RMA rates for the same chip. Your card might be clocked too high from the factory, have severe inadequate cooling (like the Asus Strix 5700 XT), lack good VRM or VRM cooling.
With that in mind, if we can make sure that such issues don't make it to the list, then the driver team can focus on actual driver problems.

1 GTA V: overall performance is way worse, I lost about half of my fps (~120 -> ~50, single player). In my first few attempts to access the graphics settings, the game would crash or fall to 7 fps. And all that without even turning on MSAA. I never had such performance problems in GTA before. Link to comment
2 Various games: Performance loss from 20.11.3 still present. Link to video
3 The game Snowrunner crashes Link to comment
4 When playing RTSP stream in vlc, after some time the driver crashes (RX 6800 XT) Link to comment
5 There is a gray overlay caused by hardware acceleration on YouTube and other videos (AMD Ryzen 2200G) Link to comment
6 Integer Scaling that would leave black bars all around, will not center the screen in the middle but center it at the top Link to comment
7 Unreal Tournament is completely broken in Direct3D (RX 6800) Link to video
8 Eevee render and wireframe view in Blender is still broken. Enabling high-quality normals in Eevee render settings fixes the issue, which happened with both 20.11.2 and the latest drivers. Link to comment
9 Blender, couldn't run OpenCL rendering with 21.1.1 Link to comment
10 HDMI scaling is capping the display's framerate to 30 (Radeon VII) Link to comment
11 League of legends - it stutters every minute or so one long stutter maybe 2 seconds long (Radeon 6800 xt) Link to comment
12 Substance Painter has weird artifacts on normal/height maps, problems since 20.4.2 (RX 5700 XT) Link to comment
13 In Marmoset, the application closes when I'm trying to bake my maps, problems since 20.4.2 (RX 5700 XT) Link to comment
14 HDMI Audio is broken again/still. The lower the framerate, the more often you get audio drops. had to install the default HDMI audio driver to fix that (5700 XT) Link to comment
15 OBS reporting this error [AMF] <Id: 3> Unable to set converter transfer characteristic, error AMF_NOT_FOUND (code 11). The last time the error wasn't present was with the 20.9.1 drivers. Link to comment

17 The fans for my Asus TUF Gaming OC RX 6800, where as soon as the temperature hits 52°C, they jump to 70% Speed, which is loud. Downgrading back to 20.12.1 solves the problem Link to comment
18 With this driver I get black screens for a few seconds when pausing and resuming youtube videos in fullscreen. And when going fullscreen and unfullscreen on youtube (6800 XT) Link to comment
19 Quake 2 RTX still crashes, especially when using the shotgun (RX 6xxx series bug) Link to comment
20 The monitor can't be turned on by moving the mouse or pressing a key when the monitor goes to sleep. One has to manually turn the monitor off and on, for the graphics card to receive a signal. The issue has been observed with Dell U2715H and LG 22MN430H-B, (RX 6800). Link to comment
21 Zero RPM is disabled under advanced fan control if one makes a custom fan curve. Zero RPM becomes grey'd out, and the fans run at their lowest setting on the curve when it's idle. The workaround is to save the profile, then go into the profile file and edit entry 18 and set the flag to True, and remove the entire false sub line entry. Then reload the profile. Zero RPM re-enabled with a custom fan curve Link to comment
22 The issue with maxed out VRAM clock speed for high refresh rate monitors is still present on 5700 XT and 5700. Some users with single 60 Hz and single 75 Hz 1080p monitors experience it as well. Clock speeds worked on older driver releases (e.g. 20.11.1) Link to comment
23 Users have to unplug VR headsets before doing a driver update, or the driver update crashes. Install wizards starts, loads for a bit, and then PC restarts suddenly. After boot the PC can't be used anymore, (the desktop is complexly frozen and can't even open task manager). Safe mode has to be used to completely uninstall the drivers. (Vega 56, Oculus Rift CV1, Windows 20H2). It seems to have started with the 20.11.2 driver Link to comment
24 Black screens are not fixed for all Samsung monitors. I still get a black screen on the CRG9. Once you wake the system from sleep you see the desktop for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes black. 6900X Link to comment
25 Cold War crashing to a black screen with just audio playing? Been able to play like 3-4 games before it happens Link to comment
26 Latency issues on 5700 XT (no issues on 20.11.1 drivers). I use driver 20.11.1 and everything is fine on my 5700XT. But every driver after that driver caused stuttering in games that worked fine before. After some searching, I downloaded latency mon and found out that the drivers after 20.11.1 cause latency spikes which cause stuttering, with older drivers no problem, and believe me I tried all of them from 20.4.1 until the latest DDU and all.

28 Ever since 20.11.2+ (Once they renamed Freesync to Freesync Premium), freesync + sync causes games to stutter a lot. "If I disable free sync games are smooth again. I and a friend also a Vega64 user is having the same problem and we need to roll back to 20.11.1 on each new driver release because we are stubborn to test. Link to comment
29 FPS/lag issue with Football Manager 21. After the last update, there was some kind of 'lag' in the frame rates when playing matches. When you alt-tabbed to the desktop and then back to the game, the frame rate was ok for like 5-10 seconds, but then it was 'lagging' again. Frames are only ok when in window-mode. Link to comment

36 Connecting an HP Reverb G2 headset to a 6900XT (Powercolor Red Devil) causes BSOD MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. This was also the case for drivers: 20.12.1, 20.12.2, and now 21.1.1 Link to comment

38 Graphical bug on nearly all games where shadows, lights, and reflections are pixelated or grainy (like a sort of visual noise), and anything involving light shows up as low-res. Running on a Saphhire 5700XT, but I had this problem on my old XFX RX570 as well. Link to comment
39 ReLive doesn't record. Possible fix: change the recording folder on Windows. Second possible fix: Go to the recording settings and change the audio channels from auto to stereo (or whatever else you might have). Third possible fix: Go to the Display Options then override and turn off HDCP support. Link to comment
