RX 5700 XT drivers and directx 9 support

dr00hlar

Hey! 

I'm looking to upgrade my GTX 970 to either an RTX2060 Super or RX 5700XT. 

I know the 5700XT is better for not that much more cost and I've read that most of the driver issues has been resolved. But I've also read that the directx 9 support is terrible(I play a lot of older games). Has this been improved now? If it's still bad I'm going for the 2060 Super. 

I would go for a 2070 Super, but the cheapest I can find in my country(Norway) with a decent cooler is 610USD.

The 2060 Super is 461USD and the 5700XT is 521USD for the cheapest ones with decent coolers.

 

Thank you😊

Still seeing multiple post related to AMD graphics cards and drivers on the forum everyday so I doubt it's fixed...BUT I would still prefer it over the weak ass 2060 even knowing there might be black screens from time to time and other relatively minor driver issues.

No idea about dx 9 support.

Don't know much about it and had to do a quick google search. Does it work well and with every game?
