this is a frivolous guy who's completely out of touch with AMD GPU driver stack in the recent past. Someone who hasn't used a product is no one to describe what the experience is.Point is both AMD and Nvidia have had problems but AMD driver issues have been exaggerated by Nvidia fanboys who've never bought or used an AMD gpu.
Since he's mentioned TS, I believe he's using Navi to defend his bias. Okay so pretty sure TS hosts have said they use 5700XT in their personal rigs(Retail samples) and never had the black screen issues and aren't able to replicate it either. AMD rolled out some patches to see if that did it for those folks that did, now at that point if someone still did... then why not RMA the card!
My cousin has a 5600XT, He's never had an issue, my friend has a 5700. If I bought a 5700XT and had black screens, I'd RMA and I expect Nvidia users to do the same.
Stop this driver bs saga. I've used AMD since 7970 days, anyone who's used AMD drivers in the past 3 years can testify that the software experience is solid and I'd argue leagues ahead of Nvidia control center.

You should RMA the card because most people do not have said issue, and fixes for the black screen were pushed out in the Adrenalin 2020 package. Post this if you still have black screens then it's safe to say that something is amiss on the card. I don't buy the incompatibility part, because it is simply a parallel processor that has to ensure compatibility with desired APIs, such as Direct X or Vulkan for example. System configs have nothing to do with it. If you have black screen on a clean driver install even with up-to-date drivers then you should consider RMAing.Why should I RMA the card when it is working perfectly in Linux?
These issues seem to depend on the system configuration and some folks see it while others don't. Has got nothing to do with the GPU hardware.

Each 'cuda core' has two floating point units instead of one before. So for marketing, the core count doubles.
