Real talk for a sec my amd radeon 5700 rx has been nothing but fucking miserable to use and Im so fucking sick of it and everyone keeps shitting on nvidia so like is there another fucking option? Cause I’m seriously never going to buy another amd card again.
Tbh I’ve never used anything other than Nvidia hardware on Linux and I’ve only ever had some minor annoyances over the past 10 years. Nvidia has a bad rep in this community because of the closed source drivers, not so much because of stability or compatibility.
Apparently the 5700 xt specifically has terrible driver issues. DDU’ing and installing fresh has helped, but hasn’t resolved issues completely. I’ll get driver crashes very often in some games that should have no problems, I’ll get incredibly low fps in others. Not exaggerating, in remnant 2 I got 4 fps, I could count the fps manually. Hunt showdown has similarly terrible performance and will crash my computer within 10 minutes. Helldivers 2 had similar issues, that got way better after DDUing but are now back. I’m sick of it
Well an important thing to note is that DDU is a windows tool so I will assume you are on windows, and that this is a linux community. It is often that the driver situation on windows is the inverse of the one on linux.
I feel ya. That garbage, which I also have, crashed on heavy games. Corectrl was the only easy way I found to reduce its clock speed so it wouldn’t crash often. I hope I just got defective hardware instead of realizing that Radeon is garbage on windows and Linux. Here’s hoping my next amd GPU works properly.

What’s wrong with your 5700? My 5700 xt has had 0 issues since I got it in 2019.
