My RX 5700 XT is performing much more poorly than I expected and at times even giving lower framerates than my old GTX 1060 3gb. Thermals are fine, and CPU usage rarely exceeds 90%. I initially thought that the card was defective, as it was having sub-average performance and my monitors had gone completely green twice. I called Newegg and had a replacement sent, but I am having the same problems as before with a new card. Within the first hour of having it installed I have had an instance of both screens being completely artifacted and then going black. I do not believe it to be a driver issue, as I used DDU to uninstall my old Nvidia drivers and reinstalling the Radeon drivers made absolutely no difference with the performance on the first card. Sapphire support had no recommendations aside from testing the card out on another rig, which I can't do as I do not have access to another easily modifiable computer. The card is in the same PCIE slot as my old 1060, and I cannot move it to a different slot because it is such a large card. I have been trying to get this card for months now, and I find the fact that a 1060 3gb can beat a $410 card to be completely insane.

I am hoping that there is some solution to my problem, as I really do not want to shell out an extra $100 for a 2070 Super. If you have any recommendations on what I can do, or any advice in components of my rig I can change to fix this problem, please tell me.
EDIT: I should clarify that the 1060 outperforms the 5700 XT in Minecraft and Destiny, and the 5700 XT beats the 1060 in games such as Rainbow 6 Siege.
