No stability issues here.
Performance seems good for the price. The monitor I have on this machine is 1080p, and it can handle it well. It's a 240Hz FreeSync, and I can regularly get in the 120 - 160 fps range which looks nice.
DOOM is running at 200 fps locked (engine limited) and I've maybe never seen anything this smooth. Older games were getting the full 240 fps like Left4Dead and Mirror's Edge, newer games like Shadow of Tomb Raider and DIRT Rally 2.0 were getting well above 120 fps.
I also tried the Radeon Image Sharpening, and it worked. Unfortunately, I have only a 1080p monitor on this rig (I think it would work better for 1440p or 4K displays) but I was still able to verify it worked.
In this case, I tried running a few games at 720p and it was playable. Granted, the sharpening did lower the quality, it wasn't blurry exactly, but it looked like it was run through a Photoshop filter. However, at 1600 x 900 it still looked good, and the image quality difference was minor.
This, to me, was not as nice looking as DLSS, BUT it worked in every game I tried, which makes it far more useful. In Tomb Raider, for example, the game was still playable quality at 720p, which it would not have been with standard scaling.
I would say Radeon Image Sharpening is a game changer of a feature. While I would still prefer running at native resolution if I could, this gives people a very useful option for increasing performance dramatically, while still looking okay.
It sort of has a console game look to it, which makes sense because this kind of trick has come from consoles which rarely run at native resolution. It works better on some games than others, but please try for yourself.
Last thing, I tried 4K using VSR. It worked, but I think this is not the strongest 4K card. In DOOM (best case scenario) I was getting around 75 fps on 4K ultra settings. On Tomb Raider high settings only around 45 fps at 4K. 1440p was around 85 fps.
So overall this 5700XT card is looking decent. It did not hit it out the park like I thought Radeon VII did, but for $400 this is an awesome piece of hardware. Will need to play with it more, but I like it so far.
