I would like comments from owners of this Gigabyte 5600 XT card about driver stabililty. I'm building a new rig based on ASUS ROG Strix-E and AMD 3990X. I was all set to buy this card https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-rad...814932244?Item=N82E16814932244&quicklink=true and https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Gra...rds=gigabyte+rx+5600+xt&qid=1584976015&sr=8-2 until I read all the really negative comments on Newegg and Amazon about drivers. So should I buy this card despite the negative reviews, or buy a different 5600 XT card? Or should I use my ancient GTX 660 until AMD releases good drivers?

Here is the thing. I'm not a gamer, but I do use Adobe Lightroom, which is now using the GPU for some intensive tasks (e.g. Enhanced Details). I also use Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat, and Microsoft Office programs a lot, Outlook, Word, Excel and some PowerPoint. One of the review comments said that he had an issue with Word.

I've had the canvas go black in Lightroom with a R580 on several drivers in the past, FWIW.
Never an issue with Nvidia. I make money waving a camera around so it mattered to me.
This on Win10 machines only, never a issue on a Mac.

Which Lightroom version? How many years ago?

I'm only an amateur.

Little over a year ago, I had the card in a Dell T3600 workstation, with a Xeon 1620 CPU.
I really cant remember the version of LR, I'm lazy about that as it auto updates...

Zero issues with any Adobe product I own and the RTX2070. Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, CameraRAW, Photoshop etc. And assorted Plugins.

Big oops here :notworthy: . I'm the OP, and I need to fix one thing about my post. My next build will use a 3900X, not a 3990X (I wish!) :joyful:
