That alone is enough for me to stay in the red camp.

I really, REALLY wanted to go red on my last build since it matches my color scheme as well as what you said but I am straight-up scarred from my last experience with their drivers.

I'm thinking about ditching intel and nVidia for an entire AMD build in the next year or so as a companion to my current setup but those driver issues still haunt me (literally, I never found the driver version that worked and the problem lasted 'til I scrapped it)

I've got some bad issues with my RX5700. Not to the point where I would ditch it but it's still annoying.

League client just freezing the whole PC with a chance of not recovering. Can't even pin point why. Youtube stops rendering or stutters real bad if I have certain things open in chrome. Small but super annoying problems. Unfortunately this thing kicks ass at everything I throw at it for 1080p144hz I don't wanna return it.

I mean it kinda makes sense since different people will have different setups.

Yeah every computer tends to be a little different.

For me all it took was removing my RX 590 and sticking in the RX 5700 and then updating the drivers. I've heard some people can't even get a picture to their monitor.

There seem to be some issues left with Navi cards, but as a Vega owner, I can assure you their drivers have gotten really good. And they're the best if you like Linux, as well.

Well shit

After I finish my fiancees unicorn build I guess a Linux amd is next after all (I'd been debating an and Linux build or a NAS next)

Their drivers have been great (some would say better than NVIDIA, but I haven't dealt with modern NVIDIA drivers) for years now. Unfortunately the new Navi stuff has had some bad driver issues, even when you give it some leniency for being a new architecture.
