August 17, 20205 yr Just curious if anyone out there has a Radeon 5600/5700XT and what their thoughts are with the sim. The graphics card is the last part of my new system purchase and my primary thoughts are to go with Nvidia. Thanks
August 17, 20205 yr Commercial Member It may or may not be relevant, but I recently bought AMD 5700, flashed it with XT firmware and overclocked it - for use with XPlane 11.50 beta in VR (Oculus Rift S). It was a disaster. All benchmarks were stellar, but VR was crashing all the time, framerates were not better than GTX 1660 and ASW was very stuttery at teh same framerate. And it's no thte flashing and overclocking, because the same was happening on stock settings. I think it's the horrible drivers that did it. Waster 2 weeks trying to trobleshoot it. I could not even return the card (it was final sale, no returns). Had to sell it on kijiji. I'm waiting for he 3080 to be released on September 1st and will have to swallow the price because no way I'm trying AMD again any time soon. I do have AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and it's wonderful, but GPUs apparently are not there yet...
