Most likely some mouth-frothing histrionics about the 970's memory split for a start....

That's the difference between Ngreedia and AMD: People actually cared about the GTX-970. Nobody give's a rodent's posterior about the Rx 560.

I had a 970 in there before that was giving me problems (seemingly related to a Windows update) so I switched to an AMD card to get away from driver issues. I should have known better. Audio distortion, video corruption when going in and out of full screen - this card suuuuuuuuuuuucks.

It seems like there's no sure-fire solution, you know? Nvidia has that stupid default limited color range assumption for HDMI video that has to be manually overriden,

Could it be a bandwidth limitation? I have a 2560x1600@60 panel that ran fine on DVI-D, but NVIDIA wouldn't show the 10-bit color option unless I swap to a displayport cable. Given the mess HDMI is with cable specs an older card may not officially support the newer specs/bandwidth possibly.
It’s correct that 14 Compute Unit (896 stream processors) and 16 Compute Unit (1024 stream processor) versions of the Radeon RX 560 are available. We introduced the 14CU version this summer to provide AIBs and the market with more RX 500 series options. It’s come to our attention that on certain AIB and etail websites there’s no clear delineation between the two variants. We’re taking immediate steps to remedy this: we’re working with all AIB and channel partners to make sure the product descriptions and names clarify the CU count, so that gamers and consumers know exactly what they’re buying. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

I would have renamed the cards as 560Ce or something along those lines.

560SE, 560RGE (for Really Good Edition), 560 Pro... So many options, and they did nothing. Just dumb, all around.
