I read a few posts from a few years ago that they suffered from some sort of ring crash bug frequently.

If you’re currently on either of those cards, how is the stability nowadays? Any hiccups or problems, or is it 100% in gaming now?

Bonus question, does the Mesa driver allow you to access the VCN video encoder on the gpu?

EDIT: Thanks for all your responses, everyone! The consensus clearly shows they’re pretty balin’, and definitely worthy of switching away from Nvidia to. :D

    The only problem i had with my 6950xt was that overclocking was partially broken, but it has already been fixed since kernel 6.7 came out. Other than that i’ve had no problems.

    RX6800XT on Debian now has native driver support which works like a charm. Ollama with GPU support works out of the box. So does hashcat. Haven’t had time to test any Linux gaming yet.

    I had a couple issues with Witcher 3 on my 5700xt. I’m now on a 6900xt and it works great. BTW I use Arch.

    I know not directly related to the question but I am running a rx9070xt on Fedora Kinoite (immutable) have had absolutely zero issues. As a matter of fact a few games that would not run on my rtx2060 now run without issue.

    Never had any issue with my old RX 5700 XT beside hot temperature and so noise, I have mitigated it with changing thermal paste and undervolting it. 0 issue with my RX 6600, so for my RX 7800 XT either

    not a single issue with my 6700xt. Even Raytracing works, not that I really bother to use it since its such a pointless FPS drain, but thats besides the point.

      I have a 6700xt and can confirm it’s just plug and play. No need to mess with those stupid Nvidia drivers, and the performance is pretty great.

    I have an 5600xt and i used to have crashes quite regularly. Disabling hardware accel in firefox helped. Now i only have crashes when playing games from heroic.

    Unfortnately all those crashes turned some friends away from linux

    I haven’t had any issues with my RX 6700 XT. It works great for games and CAD. I’ve never gotten the video encoding working though. I think it needs the proprietary drivers.
