AMD just doesn´t care about driver issues it looks like. (alien.top)

This isn't a tech support post, more like a rant post. On the 7800xt a common issue is that if you run a hdmi monitor and a displayport one you get constant greenscreens unless you lower your clocks (which for some doesn´t even work). Thing is, that this was reported months ago and no solution has been made from AMD to fix this. I am very pissed off by this, because I was pretty sure that driver issues were a thing of the past, and if there were some issues they would get fixed at launch... (It isn´t windows only, the green screen comes in arch too) well nah, amd doesn´t learn. Another thing that makes me worry is that AMD doesn´t look like they will catch up to nvidia anytime soon, hell, FSR3 is still not released...

Was the 4070 ti the better choice? At this point I don´t know.

I got a secondhand rx 6800 to my b550 + 5800X3D combo and had constant driver crashes for a month, which got increasingly worse as time went on. Trying something different every other day or so.. finally they released a new bios and driver close together and they seemingly solved it.
Prior that on a b350 + R5 1600 combo the same card caused black screens, it took 2 weeks of tinkering and a Reddit post to make it stable on one DP monitor and had to temporarily abandon my main HDMI one.
In the recent years my coworkers purchased 5700XT, 6600 XT and 7800 XT, all because of my recommendations and all but the 6600 user experienced problems persistent across several driver versions.
I just can't recommend RDNA cards anymore...
