I have a 5700xt and my wife has a 5600xt, so we have decent cards, but they've been really unstable. this is the first gen I've gone away from Nvidia for graphics and I can't say I'm thrilled. Performance is good for the cost, but stability is lacking. Ironically I've had no issues with Cyberpunk 2077 ..... Dude... Now it's just getting creepy.

April 16, 20214 yr Author Bitcoin and Ethereum are changing the world Doge is literally a joke coin with infinite supply that no one actually wants to hold Crypto is an IQ test, and I got bad news if you're more excited about gambling with Doge

Those early catalyst drivers were dogshit though, so that could've been the reason too. But in hindsight, the biggest reason I would've switched to team green for would've been for DLSS that supposedly was a huge performance boost for games like cyberpunk.

My 5700xt has been relatively stable, moreso than the wife's 5600xt. crashes have been very recent, and honestly I attribute it more to the particular game than my 5700xt. For the wife it's Fortnite (don't judge lol) that she has an issue with. She enjoys playing it with the kids, I jump in from time to time but I generally don't like playing with people online. But that particular game seems really unstable for her.
April 16, 20214 yr As far as the 5700xt version, I have the sapphire and this case: https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-meshify-c-tg-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352084 Originally I had a nice looking Rockwell case but something was shorting with the case fan and I had to get something new. Hers I built after, and I managed to snag the 5600xt back in November before things got super rare. wanted to get her something better but beggars can't be choosers.

Just as an FYI though, there's a setting in the catalyst control panel that caps your frame rare to limit temps on your card. For games like Fortnite, it should be turned on otherwise you're basically just running at full throttle to hit 200fps.

Fractal cases are legit, should be no issue there. You got a sapphire reference or aib? Also, do you mean Rosewill?

Limited it to 60fps, even reduced the settings to keep it running low. We use the AMD Adrenalin software to keep up with driver updates (https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt) , is that separate from Catalyst? I never had an issue on mine so I was surprised when hers was pretty stable.

On a call now, but I'll turn on my pc and find the setting name when I'm done. You can set up game profiles and enable it on a per game basis. I had to do this when I was playing lego Batman with the kid and I kept hearing the gpu fan spin up and max out, then I turned on the overlay and saw it was over 300fps, lol.

Oh ok, yeah that's an aib, should run cooler than reference which is what I got, oddly enough also from sapphire. Almost a 100% match, clone. Almost.

April 16, 20214 yr Oh and rosewill is cheap rebranded knock off garbage. It's newegg's house "brand" but instead of being good, it's bad. Just bad.

I'm on Coinbase but there's a pretty limited list of currencies that you can buy. They don't have Doge or a lot of others either.

I dont have a virtual wallet because Im not planning on having millions stashd away in bitcoin and etherium. Robinhood is good enough for me with the amounts that Ill ever own.

I guess in hindsight it might have worked out but holy hell that stock is detached from any and all reality.

April 19, 20214 yr Seriously, buy doge now regardless of how you feel about it long-term. Even though I hate most of you, there's no reason not to help you get rich. It'll hit .50, at the very least, tomorrow:
