> - Driver stability. Nvidia is not perfect but the 5700 series was awful from AMD (had to return mine). They need to at least match Nvidia.

Seriously. I have the RX 5700 XT and at least once a week the driver crashes with the same error on `dmesg`, with the only solution being to reboot the machine because the 5700 XT for some ungodly reason doesn't support software reset. I love the card and I feel like I got what I paid for in terms of performance, but the driver instability is absurd.

I'm aware of the patch and have used it previously on my VFIO endeavors. It worked surprisingly well for me, but unfortunately for a lot of cases it simply doesn't, according to the author on the VFIO Discord. It's disappointing to say the least.
