lynx29 I'd still love to know what the actual Quality control tests are that MIcrosoft does for WHQL status.



Like run x amount of games from x amount of years for x amount of hours and see if stable/crashes? If not then they should add that to the WHQL checklist, cause I have only heard a few people say Navi is smooth and those people are probably just playing like 2 games, not a couple hundred.



I want to buy an all AMD system. I really do, I am waiting patiently still. I just hope RX 5800 can deliver solid and stable performance, even in old games like mass effect all the way to modern AAA's. I have a long backlog but also want to play newer games sometimes.

I actually WHQL certified does not mean what most people think it means. WHQL refers to the code of the drivers communicating properly with the hardware while behaving properly with Windows and not causing errors. It has nothing to do with software running on top of the drivers, though technically if the drivers are well behaved for Windows OS, applications running on top of it should run.WHQL is NOT about optimization, efficiency, and a driver can behave properly with the underlying hardware and Windows OS not causing errors, all the while not working as intended.Which is why I say WHQL doesn't mean much for home use beyond marketing.If you register as a hardware developer you can download the WHQL test kit from Microsoft
