Ok this is mostly curiosity now because I ended up switching, but a Linus video on the 5600xt made me think things again. the horror.
I just had to return an XFX 5700xt THICC III ULTRA due to 3 solid weeks of black screens, crashes, and other software issues.

I had zero ability to overclock or even mess with ANYTHING (stock settings ONLY)

AND the card struggled to handle even Destiny 2 @1080p/144 on "high" (NOT maxed.) It straight up would not even allow me to open Rocket League... Blah blahBlahblahblahBLAHHH! 

So the question is thiiiiis,

HOW ON EARTH are you guys able to actually use the new Radeon 2020 Software?!

I tried everything! I had pro's help me out! And I AM a pro! (Ok sorta pro.) Just, endless software issues even after 3 patches from AMD (who have been trying to fix this for months) and apparently there were a huge number of returns for the same reason, specifically for most versions of the 5700xt.

Just a quick note, I was also having similar issues with my old R9 390 8gb the moment Adrenaline 2020 released. the 2019 version didn't have any of these issues. This is actually what prompted the upgrade in the first place. Bleh.

System:

Msi X270 Tomahawk Arctic (xmp + gameboost on)

I7-7700k @ 4.8Ghz 

32gb Corsair ddr4 @3200

Nvme w/ win10 pro 1909

5700xt  Aorus 1080ti 

I was really stoked about this line-up. At least I Lucked out and found a 1080ti for $350, got it working inside of 2 hours. (Though if I attempt to over-clock, it crashes pretty quick.)

Is it my system? Is it too old? What did I do wrong?

Whoops,

RaidMax RX850w 80+ Gold I figured there mightve been an issue there, I ran two separate cords instead of using the two ends on one cable. This didn't change anything. As far as I can tell all of my tests on the hardware checked out. The adrenaline software just... didn't wanna. But any input is appreciated!
