This must be this fine wine thing people keep banging on about
Fine wine: aka release a product with dogshit drivers and make them a little better over time.
Yeah I don't understand the fine wine stuff. Its copium.
Ask: Would you rather get a product that is great on launch or want to wait 6months or even 2 years to get that great product drivers when the product itself is now beginning to age as a new generation arrives. And after you've probably played the game.
The RX480 was fine on launch and became a lot better with time, my 1060 6go not so much, the best upgrade i got was AMD FSR working on it. That's what i call fine wine as an ex-nivida owner (who will replace is new 6700 10go by any good cards sub 300€ from any vendors in a few years).
edit : the 1060 6go still was a good buy and i was happy with it for it's price, but for cheaper i could have had a RX480 at that time.
You can also enable SAM/Resizable BAR on Polaris 8GB GPUs with a registry edit it increases fps in alot of recent DX12 games
