What drivers?
I am on 20.4.2 WHQL and they have been ok.
Only crashes i get is if i try to overclock or flash bios to XT.
Never really clocked GPU's before so unsure if it's the card, or me being useless.

mine was doing all sorts of wierd stuff with the ultimate freesync engine turned on with my cheapo samsung monitor, it started working good after i went in my monitor settings and turned it to the standard freesync engine.
im running 20.4.2 drivers.

Quick update on my quest to get more out of this GPU.
Read a post from Dicehunter about adding a bit more volts to system RAM to make his card stable, so thought i would try the same. (1.35v - 1.36v)
It worked. Now back to a flashed 5700XT bios and seems to be stable in benchmarks and games. (WHQL driver)

Are you referring to RAM found on the mobo ie DDR3/DDR4 voltage when you mention system RAM?
If that is the case that is quite interesting way of fixing the issue.
Yes, my DDR4.
My system has been stable for ages barring trying to overclock/flash this GPU.
Read the post from Dicehunter who was having similar crashes and black screens but with a different GPU and he mentioned upping the DRAM volts a notch helped him, so thought i may as well try the same. Glad i did.
Big thank you to @Dicehunter.

No worries, Glad it helped someone, Odd though as you are on an Asrock board as it's mainly an Asus issue to do with their latest AMD bios
In regards to upping DRAM voltage, Asus kind of messed up their last few bioses on the AMD side so 1.35v would continually droop down to 1.33-34 causing instability, Quite annoying to say the least.

Didn't know what else to try to make this GPU work better. No matter what i tried it just would not be stable in games but fine in benchmarks. I didn't even have the drop in volts like you have, but thought it was worth a shot any way.
On a side note, i did try to add another 16GB of RAM and it also would not work. All sticks worked in all slots and the new RAM worked on its own, but no matter what i tried (volts and timings) 4 sticks just would not work. Makes me think the motherboard has a slight fault maybe, but it will do me for now. New Ryzen upgrade may occur next year any way.

would I be mad getting a bgrade 5700xt now or should I wait to new cards out sept/oct before upgrading from a 5500xt
No you would not be mad it’s a decent upgrade. The only mad thing you did was posting this in the 5700 owners club.
