I haven't had any problems with either old games or new with the 6800. I didn't have any with the Vega 56 either, but I only ever used one monitor. The only time I remember driver issues was with NVidia, who have the habit of only caring about new games and thus breaking or degrading performance...
Got my Powercolor Fighter RX 6800 today. On the basis of one game tested - Baldur's Gate 3 - it has doubled my frame rate from my Vega 56. Paid too much for it, but Christmas is cancelled so I had some extra dosh free.
What's the point in the trailing two zeros in the product name? It provides no product differentiation whatsoever. It would be much easier to just use i9-109K etc.

Plonked a 3700x in my x370 Taichi yesterday replacing the 1600 I had there before. Comparing stock to stock performance with Cinebench R15 I see a ~50% increase in OpenGL score and 80% increase in CPU score. Stock cooler is loud though, I may see what I can do with fan curves.
Hardware Unboxed also covered this:
Conclusion is...

EDIT: and just realised that Reddit article referenced the same video.
@Markfw where did you find BIOS v5.61 for your x370 TaiChi? I can only see 5.60 on the ASRock site. I'm very interested how you get on with this as I have a x370 TaiChi, currently use a PS/2 keyboard and am planning on upgrading my r5 1600 to a r7 3700x.
