Even the 5700 XT is a different animal. I had an Asus Strix which overheated, threw BSODs and driver timeout errors, and was generally a bad card. I got rid of it during covid, turning a profit and getting a 2070 myself which I didn't regret.It's closer to the experiences I've had with it - such as my friend that went through 7 5700 XT's before saying screw it and buying a 2070 Super, or my other friend that I regularly played games with that always dropped out of games because of BSODs, or the anecdotes of the numerous folks I've come to know over time. I've been following it pretty close.
Unfortunately, prices never really went significantly down to the point I would choose to take a risk - hopefully, there is a 6500 XT or 6600 at a very nice price this Black Friday. We'll see.
Then my 6750 XT is an all-around great card. Stable as any Nvidia. Then I also had a 7800 XT at some point. Its initial drivers were a bit meh, but everything got fixed in a couple of months except for the massive video playback power consumption which is an architectural problem. Other than that, great card. I'd still have it if I didn't have to prioritise my finances for the summer holidays.
So see, all 3 RDNA generations have been vastly different experiences.
If you want a play thing, don't get a 6500 XT, or the 4 GB VRAM will quickly disappoint you... unless you want it for old games, for which it's absolutely fine. I happen to have one of those as well, do you want it?
