Should I cancel and reorder the 2070super or risk it and maybe guys at pc specialists whilst testing can figure out a fix?

I thought that they fixed that, or is it still a card that goes hot enough to cook bacon on?

Been watching a lot of PC builds on YouTube and 99% of them are all based on the Nvidia platform. I am sure AMD will sort their issues out (like they have done with their CPU's) but it doesn't sound like it will be an easy win. If you are pulling the trigger now then realistically you haven't got a choice but choose Nvidia for the time being.

Still ongoing. It’s not a heat issue, purely drivers.
AMD is Investigating Black Screen Driver Issues on Radeon Cards - ExtremeTech
AMD is aware of problems with black screens and Radeon GPU driver crashes and is currently investigating the problem.

I think AMD are improving what was a cursed GPU Platform from the start. I personally believe that big navi will be not only a major step forward in raw hardware performance, but given AMD’s new stance in the market with widespread user adoption of Ryzen 3000, Lisa Su is wise enough to invest a large portion of that into better driver development for big navi.
Unfortunately for AMD in the graphics space, it’s not really the hardware that’s been the issue, sure they’ve been behind nvidia but they’ve always been very popular amongst mid range and entry level players. BUT that’s been let down historically by really poor driver development and it’s something Lisa Su knows they need to focus on for Big Navi to make a real mark.

Oh thats weird I did hear something about AMD cards having heat issues but maybe I'm mixing it up with a different card.
Edit: I was right, there were some issues with the 5700XT running hotter than expected, but apparently that was "deliberate" by AMD. https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/the-amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt-gets-hot-but-its-supposed-to

Maybe they didn't want Intel fanboys to look at their GPU's and make fun of the AMD fans who laugh at Intel for their cores doubling as space heaters
