late to the party, thanks for the videos. (5700 red dragon, 3600 r5, x570 Aorus Pro) About a month in at this point, regretting not just buying a 2060super or 2070. When the thing is working it's brilliant, awesome performance for the money. Unfortunately it seems like you're playing with fire buying a Navi card. I've went down the rabbit hole trying to diagnose issues basically from day 1. I've updated drivers, rolled back drivers, installed the gpu drivers without AMD's software, DDU'd, Fresh installed Win10, declocked ram to 2133, tried a different PSU, and adjusted settings in Adrenaline/Wattman/whatever it's called now until I'm pretty much just fed up. I guess I'm lucky at least my card isn't blue/green screening me or giving me tons of artifacts in normal use, just stuttering in pretty much every game (and occasionally having the decency to just spare me the stutters and just crash) and making for an unenjoyable experience. I'm not sure if it would be better or worse if I didn't know anything about computers. I think if I knew nothing I'd have already sold it as opposed to spending weeks going down rabbit holes online grasping for hope there might be something I hadn't tried that offered a fix. (again, thanks Gamers Nexus for the content! Sorry about the whining post. Just adding my name to the pot of folks that have had Navi issues)

I bought the 5700 xt Nitro+ from Sapphire under Steve's advice, and to be honest the situation in my case is hopeless. When the card works, it's GREAT. Fast, cool, and silent. BUT, when it doesn't (and it happens more often than I would like to) it totally freezes my entire pc system. Then I have to reboot. And sometimes even had to fresh install Windows again becauses blue/black screen happens. A waste of time, and effort. So it can be a pain in the ass really. I will wait for a couple more of months for them to fix these garbage drivers, before being forced to unfortunately (for me) sell the card, lose money in the process, buy an RTX 2070 super, lose even MORE money and then, finally then, tell EVERYONE not to buy this card. It looks gorgeous, it works amazingly in some games considering the price. But overall, not worthy at all so far. Go and get some Nvidia RTX card.

When? Never. I have returned my RX 5700 XT Red Devil and I am going to pick RTX 2070/2080 Super up. I should do it earlier but I wanted to give a chance AMD. Results? Crashes, blue screens, black screens and more. I have also noticed that the fan curve of my RX 5700 XT was wrong out of box. My RX 5700 XT hit fast 100 C in RDR2 and some other games. I had to fix the curves but I think most of the players don't know anything about it. After I fixed the fans, the GPU became - of course - much louder so the ads about this RX (that it very quiet is) are fake. For now I have to wait for the answer from the store I have bought the GPU and I am going to buy RTX that will bring me no stress and probably higher performance. Ryzen YES, Radeon NO.

so maybe someone could give me a bit of help. so i just bought two days ago the 5700xt went to install it and it wont load post bios. when i turn it on and off i can get into my bios with no problem, but as soon as i exit to load into windows all i get it a black screen. Now i was told that if a motherboard does not support UEFI it wont be able to run the GPU, then i have others that are telling me that they never herd of that and if you are getting into your bios then its not the issue. So i have not a clue what to do can anyone chime in with some help? The motherboard im running is a M5A88-V EVO, and yes i know its old but i looked it up and it said that it will support the 5700xt please someone help =.

I had rock solid stable pc from my pc seller(old bios of gpu and mainboard, old gpu and chipset drivers including lan, wifi, etc) no crash no blue or black screen since it arrived. Than I fell to temptation of 10% performance increase from new bios. I flashed it, but thanks to my old drivers/adrenaline gpu wasnt running on updated speeds so I also updated drivers/adrenaline and thats when my story began. Right after restart my pc started to have several black or blue screens or just freezes even without single application opened. My last hope is clean uninstal of all amf drivers and make clean install without adrenaline software. If it doesnt help, I will sell my rx 5600 xt and buy any of rtx cards insted.

Adrenalin 2020 is a terrible update for me. I initially blamed it on Oculus running in the background, then on overclocking with the update. Tried it stock and it would still cause a full PC crash and force a reset. I realized I only had the issue when playing BFV so I blamed it on that. But then I re-installed the drivers from right before Adrenalin went to 2020 edition and I haven t had any issues since then. For a week I kept adding and removing a 2080ti from my amazon shopping cart but that price is what kept me from pulling the trigger. The Radeon VII has been good to me and it was a day of release buy, but I only game so I should have just gotten a 2080ti.

Solution! Solution! Solution! This is a solution that I found after 2 weeks, 8 hours per day troubleshooting. You would appreciate it if have gone through the same pain and frustration that many including me have experienced it. I have an XFX RX 5700 XT. I just downgraded its bios to 5700 (the opposite of what Tech YES city does in one of his video; I appreciate it. Downgrading bios is the only solution for now. Please do it on your risk. I copy and paste this comment to share with others since the past 2 weeks was super frustrating for me and at the end I wanted to have at least a working PC. I am using the latest driver published on 2/3/2020 (I guess. Thank you!

The reality is AMD is new to the big boys league. When a company makes it and they get swept up by corporate obligations. this is usually the first place that fails. Consistently. It s due to lack of communication internally and focus Intel still does this well enough. Nvidia finally catching up Not saying their hardware is good. Amd kicking butt. But I am saying intel and those folks have a better grasp on providing synchronized solutions at massive scale (massive being key. It s easy to sync when you small)

They still haven't got it together depending on a game my 5600XT randomly crashes the driver, various VulkanAPI issues in-game which previously had none, So frustrated if I could afford Nvidia tax I would nearly swap this card just because I never had as much trouble with a card than this one from what I can see it is just the package as a whole since I run 2011-0 X79 CPU and guys with x570 have issues so if they cannot even fix the issues on their own platforms I have little hope for others.

AMD is lying to you anyway. They had black screen and driver issues since at least 2010. Stability is the first issue they need to work on o. O. performance isn't a thing if their driver isn't stable. 10 years on and they still are to incompetent and lazy to make decent drivers. Maybe they need to hire Nvidia make their drivers for them. Even if there hardware was insanely good and 300% better than the top card Nvidia has it would still be worthless garbage because of it's drivers.
