I am currently gaming with GTX 970. I was looking at the newer Nvidia and AMD cards but all are out of stock and the prices are quite extreme due to limited availability. I don't think this will change for some time, and am happy to upgrade to an older card such as the 5700xt for better price and availability.
However two things I've read that make me feel apprehensive are the temps and drivers. I have heard it is not uncommon for the 5700xt to get quite hot and there appears to be driver problems that are on-going issue from what I have read so far.
I was just wondering what people's experiences have been concerning temps and drivers issues?
I just recently bought a second hand Asus 5700 TUF. The worst of the bunch with pre VRAM temp fix. I then flashed that with an Asus TUF 5700 XT TUF and have no issues what so ever. Sure the cooler is bad but I can maintain around 1950 on the core effectively without issue and with a better cooler the card boosted to 2050 with no issue. Drivers have been working without a single issue and I'm very happy with that GPU. Solid hardware. Before that I had a Vega 64 which also had no issues. So I think the whole driver situation is blown a bit out of proportion.
