Using the 5700XT with amdgpu has been a complete shit show since day one, and you have success depending on your set-up since QA appears to be "if it works on a dev's machine ship it". Mainline (let alone stable kernels) was almost unusable for like 4-5 months after release, you were completely out of luck unless you followed the right incantations and used a precise firmware binary that had been available at some point at an AMD developer's personal repo but you later had to get through someone else's Dropbox. After that period it got stable-ish for me. Occasionally Mesa/kernel updates made some games stop working or freeze the system but workarounds. Yesterday I swapped a monitor for a higher res one, and I triggered a bug where DPM essentially shits its pants and you have to switch to manual power management. Meaning a year after release the card can't handle basic multi-monitor stuff. I've had AMD CPUs exclusively ever since Athlon II, always coupled with Nvidia cards. I wanted to support them also in GPUs given their open source work but for me it's been a complete mess. If Intel GPUs are actually any good and don't shit the bed I'll sell this card for whatever I can get.
