How many of you Radeon 5700 owners have ditched your cards over the drivers?

[cucker tarlson]

I don't have issues and I'm sorry for those who have them.

you're getting closer to the right attitude.
I'm not getting issues but many are as has been acknowledeged by amd who are working on them - this seems right to me.
you can't call playing a selection of games on one sample an investigation.

 

[R-T-B]

I'll join you so you don't feel alone.

I'd join, because I DO enjoy my card, but I did have issues so it'd be kind of dishonest.

The 5700XT in these systems ( same card ) has been trouble free for about 6 months. Haven't been able to reproduce any of the bugs I've read about....... I still believe these issues persist though with certain hardware configurations.

From when I dug into it, it seemed more like either certain bios revisions or certain early die spinnings. Either way the issues are rapidly dying down for sure.

And yet it is still weird some have the issues some don't even though they use same drivers. Maybe @R-T-B is right with the bios stuff. Although, my 5600XT pulse doesn't have a new Bios. I just OC'ed the card to mach the specification from core 1750Mhz and mem 1500Mhz. to 1750/1750 Mhz respectively.
BTW your attitude hasn't changed. You always wanna be the "know it all" man and mock others.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

I've even noticed with certain brands like gigabyte it being much worse or seeming to be much worse with their cards vs Sapphire. Not trying to call out any brands specifically I just found it odd that a specific card from gigabyte has way more negative feedback pertaining to this issue vs Sapphire pulse.

yes,it's usually the case with driver problems.

 

[R-T-B]

5600XT is newer than the 5700 series, which is where I see most issues reported, but dunno. Done messing with it now that I discovered I can make it work with a powerplay profile in my case.

see.unlike so many people.
yet you can't understand how the issue can happen on one machine but doesn't on the other.

If it was a driver, all people using same brand of a card should experience it but that is not the case. I'm skeptic about this driver issue thing since I've tried it myself to just be sure what people are talking about. Well, not sure what they are talking about.

Sure it is but there is a Bios update for my card. It has been released before the adjustments to the Bios and the clocks. I didn't do any Bios update just OC and it is working as it should. It is a pretty good card the 5600XT and it's damn quiet so as cool. I do profile as well at least for demanding games and new ones. It helps in some cases (like CSGO in my case but I play 4k)

no cause they're running other hardware and drivers and even bioses as you pointed out.

see,that's the bias you're not aware of.


My late,smaller turing never died so I don't know what all this fuss about early,big turings dying cause of vram was about.

 

[ratirt]

no cause they're running other hardware and drivers.

The drivers for graphics are same for 5600xt or any other same series cards. The newest driver there is and all have the same. The other counterparts may be different in builds people have but if this is causing problems, is it really graphics driver issue? I had a problem with my PSU and had to buy a new one. I don't think that is graphics driver related more like hardware. Question is how many of these "driver issues" customers argue about may have come from hardware just like in my case. I know we had this conversation and I've been accused of fanboizm towards AMD because I couldn't acknowledge the so-called "Driver Issues" problem with the arguments people were giving. I got some background of my own now and it seems far, far stretched than the truth shows about the drivers.
For instance the TUF AIB Asus heatsink. Was badly designed and overheated without addition mod to the screws and spacers tightening the heatsink touching the vram and chip correctly.
Explicitly i remember people blaming drivers for this even though there were hundreds of videos explaining the situation. Not sure if it has been fixed by ASUS already or not.

okay.last time.I highlighted the parts you're missing

how much of those scenarios did you reproduce with one 5600xt ? a 0.0000001%

 

[R-T-B]

You can't write off the uptick in reports of issues to people just mixing the wrong hardware.

At some point, the uptick is caused by the card, not the things surrounding it. Otherwise we'd have seen the same rate of reports with other AMD cards and we just don't.

 

[cucker tarlson]

but it's good to know there's trouble-free systems,or I should say use scenarios, too.

 

[ratirt]

Knowing the societies now, there will never be problem free system. There will always be a jackass that would have a problem or a different point of view.
Report says may occur in each paragraph. Like I said AMD had to address these in the known issues section meaning it happened to some users but it is not necessarily because of the driver. I was getting driver crashes with my broke PSU (black screens occur) . After swapping it, no driver crashes so how about that?
You still want me to admit that there is a problem or what is it? I don't have problems with my graphics sorry. Maybe those who picked the card should also take a closer look to the hardware they have and OS they are using? Maybe if it is old and used up it may not work properly.

 

[Decryptor009]

I cannot use any other driver other than 20.4.2 right now.

 

[ratirt]

Maybe it is different with the 5700XTs. I been using 19 version (don't remember exactly) i updated the driver 2 weeks ago. same thing. No issues.
@cucker tarlson procured the list of issues. The problem with the list is, it doesn't give any strict answers to which games are having the issues. it is all some games and may which isn't anything concrete. It is all random so basically nobody knows.

 

[cucker tarlson]

@cucker tarlson procured the list of issues.

No.Just no.

 

[ratirt]

No.Just no.

We all know it is from AMD's site. Chill the "f" out. you brought it up and it is ok. Just saying it doesn't give anything concrete in terms which game or anything, it is all random and may or may not.

 

[cucker tarlson]

it is all random and may or may not.

maybe that's why it's taken them a year to solve a portion of them.

 

[ratirt]

Whatever man. I don't have issues. Sorry to disappoint your expectations towards AMD driver issues. or maybe... you know what. I'm not gonna say it because it will fuel you even more. You say there are driver issues (you didn't check it yourself) I say there aren't (checked myself) let's leave it at that.

 

[cucker tarlson]

Whatever man. I don't have issues.Sorry to disappoint your expectations

please stay on topic once.

 

[ratirt]

I am. Driver issues. haven't noticed anything of such with my 5600xt. Maybe 5700XT are totally different and have these issues.

no.I mean stop your carefree personal trips as if that was permitted here.
