I can confirm the card is working just fine with a fresh install of Linux Mint 19.3.
Though I will say that the card wasn’t detected tell I install amdgpu 19.50 from amd.
XFX AMD Radeon RX 5700 (NAVI10 DRM 3.33.0 5.3.0-28-generic LLVM 9.0.1
LinuxMint 19.3, Kernel: 5.3.0-28-generic (x86_64), Desktop: Cinnamon 4.4.8, Display Driver: modesetting 1.20.5, OpenGL: 4.5 Mesa 19.2.2
However Davinci Resolve 16 crashes, now ironically Davinci Resolve 16 loaded fine when I didn’t do a fresh install and just swapped vega 56 for rx 5700, but again I got graphical issue’s with that…
Now with a fresh install everything works, but Resolve now crashes after

I’ll try davinci resolve 16.1, but I’m not all that excited to use it as I have a Movie being made in davinci Resolve 16 so I would prefer to keep the work on version 16.
Since the card is working, I’m first going to remove the cooler and install the Arctic as I hate gpu’s that have a 0 db fan curve.
I really hope to find away to get it up and running with Davinci Resolve 16, just from a little bit of testing the speed and power consumption seem amazing.
Around what I calculated, though it’s only about 20% faster then vega 56 it’s also 20% or more power efficient. So in a sense it’s 40% faster in performance per watt.
