I read a few posts from a few years ago that they suffered from some sort of ring crash bug frequently.

If you’re currently on either of those cards, how is the stability nowadays? Any hiccups or problems, or is it 100% in gaming now?

Bonus question, does the Mesa driver allow you to access the VCN video encoder on the gpu?

EDIT: Thanks for all your responses, everyone! The consensus clearly shows they’re pretty balin’, and definitely worthy of switching away from Nvidia to. :D

    I have a 6700xt and can confirm it’s just plug and play. No need to mess with those stupid Nvidia drivers, and the performance is pretty great.

      yep. Upgrading was super easy too.

      Just pulled out my old one (Which was also an AMD card, just to state it obviously), physically installed the new one, and that was all. No driver shenanigans like on windows.
