Which GPU would *you* choose?
pocock:
As there are multiple threads about this, I felt it would be useful to create a wiki page about GPU selection criteria
Feel free to improve it. A shortlist of products tested by Raptor and other experienced users might be useful too.

Excuse me, why wouldn't you take a Navi anymore? In any case, they represent the most prestigious production of the AMD GPU line ...

Too many drawbacks.
A Polaris GPU causes far fewer problems. The performance between RX 580 and RX 5500 is almost identical. Performance/price ratio between RX 580 and RX 5700 is also better.

On power consumption/heat output, they are both similar too, 30-35W idle
Are all RX 580 variants considered reliable or is there one particular OEM model that people have tested more than others?
Do you consider all Navi to be bad right now, or once again, does it depend on the specific OEM model chosen?
One strategy in my mind right now: Scavange any spare Radeon GPU for 12 months as a stop-gap measure, skip over the new Navi in November and wait for them to release a card supporting AV1
MPC7500:
That sounds like a good strategy.
But I'm afraid that the new Navi-GPUs will have the same problem as the old one.
With Navi-GPUs, fast-reset must be disabled. Which is quite annoying.
I still have kernel problems. The GPU does not crash, but that's probably where my sound problems come from. I dunno if it depends on the model, but I guess that it concerns all Navi-GPUs.
Regarding RX 580 I would buy either a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB or a PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8GB. But this is a question of taste. Performace/ noise-wise these are pretty good, IMO. Each costs approx. €170.
