AMD 5700 XT and 5700 giving Flaky results to SETI@Home

Seems like the AMD Navi GPUs aren't yet solid enough for SETI@Home. AMD Fans probably should stick with Vega a bit longer if you're doing GPU compute.

Glad I bought Nvidia

Well, at your price range, you probably would have been getting Radeon VII instead. NAVI as an ISA looks excellent overall, but without ROCm support, and with this new OpenCL issue coming up, I have to say that any compute-oriented person probably should stay away and stick to Vega for now.

Radeon VII (Vega ISA) is still the fastest AMD GPU for consumers (ignoring MI60 and other $3000+ GPUs). And it doesn't seem like Radeon VII has any bugs like the new NAVI chips.

Its just a shame for the video-game fans who are probably getting the 5700: its a good GPU for games, and I'm sure a lot of them would like to play with OpenCL or whatever.

ROCm 3.0 was release: no NAVI support yet.

Hmm, definitely stay away from NAVI if you're an OpenCL / ROCm compute user. Seems like AMD still has some kinks to work out.
