No other systems to try it in, not sure about what stress tests or software I would want to test. Truthfully, my old card just folded and didn't have any issues, so I didn't expect any real hassle with doing the same this time around, but I guess I am paying the AMD tax this time around unlike with my CPU.

You could check if the card is factory overclocked: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ (GPU Clock).

Furmark is a common one for gpu testing.

Alright, got a chance to look at those things:

GPU-Z profile: https://i.imgur.com/AEZoBdO.gif

Furmark results were stable after 5-ish 1 minute runs done consecutively, average FPS of about 98.

Are other people having success running on a 5600XT?

Run the stress test for at least 10 minutes or more, make sure the gpu temp maxes out(personally I'd go an hour or 3 if I was wondering if my card was questionable) . Also try fahbench from http://fahbench.github.io it uses the older core21 to test opencl performance. There are definitely a few people at least running 5600xt cards ok.

I was under the impression reading around that Core v21 did not have support for Navi-based cards and that only Core 22 does.
