Not too happy with my 5700XT so far, keep getting major FPS drops for split second in games like Apex and Overwatch (eg it will go from 120 to 60). Incredibly annoying. All crap like chill, freesync, all disabled. Temps are relatively OK.

Same here. A stuttering mess tbh.
1080ti/1070 doesn't have this issue.
New drivers didnt change a thing.
Frame times are all over the place. As is the clock speed. Nvidia can hold boost clocks stable. Not this card.

Since I had my card had nothing but trouble just spoke to ocuk and am taking back tomorrow. Dont know if to get it replaced or have something different?

I've decided I'm sending back mine as well, it's a mess. Updated to new driver today but it's the same. Think I'll just have to accept the £100 premium for the 2070S, I know we can be tough on Nvidia but their drivers are so much better.

Also have an issue where after playing any game, Radeon settings don't work. Was the same with previous driver.

I'm leaning the same way tbh. Not had and since a 4870, this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Are you using Radeon Overlay to show FPS/Etc by any chance?

Nope, why does osd cause issues?

I just used my backup RX570 and GTX1060, both working perfectly, I also tried PSU change, RAM change - everything possible to rule out the 5700XT just to be certain about it, but it's 100% the card. Already bought a 2070S, returning the 5700XT.

I hope you got one of the ones in stock, or you'll be in for a long wait

Terrorfirmer · 17 Jul 2019 at 18:02

I did for specifically that reason - Palit Super Jetstream, said they had 10+ in stock when I ordered...would've rathered a cheaper one, but all out of stock, and the Inno3D X2 in stock for 475 doesn't seem great.

On Vega 64 any OSD can cause issues, in some games. eg WOT even my windows volume popup does it, including the overlay, while in EU4 the whole screen is flickering.
Other games aren't bothered at all like ESO or The Division 2 or ES Legends.

Super Jetstream is a brand name, not 2070 Super necessary.

Terrorfirmer · 17 Jul 2019 at 18:38

Yep I know, I specifically ordered the one from the 2070 Super category. They do have a 2070S super jetstream.

Though I could definitely see how people would get caught, especially on places like Amazon.

This is an AMD driver thread my friend.

Of course! Only here because of my horrid experience with the 5700XT. I'd rather not have to, but it is what it is.

All sorted now had my ram to high works a treat now. Just need to tune my setting.

What was you running and what are you running now? Did it solve any frame hitching for you?

We all knew it would take a little while for AMD to get the drivers up to speed for Navi so it shouldn't be a surprise, Just make sure to put regular bug reports in to help speed up the process. https://www.amdsurveys.com/se/5A1E27D23A3DE966

No they're not, AMD drivers have been just as good for a few years now, some would argue better. This is just teething problems with the new architecture.

The web is plastered with these issues we are seeing. How these have gone unnoticed by their QA team baffles me.
