The new Radeon RX 5600 XT has been announced, in this review, we peek at the MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming Z. The Radeon RX 5600 XT is basically an RX 5700 however with 6GB of GDDR6, lower clock frequencies and a price tag of 279 USD. That could make it an excellent offering in the Quad HD domain at up-to a resolution of 2560x1440.

You must be really unlucky to experience it on all those cards, my 4870 and 5850 were some of the best gpu's I ever owned, no issues at all. Did you by any chance rma those cards you say were faulty with black screens, or have you found a solution yourself to fix the problem? If you experienced it on all of your above mentioned gpu's it might be more widespread than you believe.
I can understand driver issues and software lockups, those issues are unavoidable, but hardware lock ups like black screens and blue screens are unacceptable to me. I expect my gpu to work 100 percent.
Both companies have had issues with "black screen".... I had a GF5600XT that did it, a 9600GT that did it, a 560Ti that did it. I've also had an HD4850 that did it (reference cooler design failure), an HD7870 that did it and now my FX5700 has been doing it the last week. It's really not as widespread an issue as people are made to believe by forum posts.

It would have to be removed at the bios level, give it some time though I'm sure someone will.
Could someone find a way to bypass the artificial gpuclock limiter and see how much can these push the clock ?

At my location, this card costs only ~9EUR less then Gaming Z 5700, but costs much more than Sapphire Pulse 5600XT, making it an absolutely nonsense choice for anybody

Any link to forum or any site where i could keep myself updated? Coz i am pretty much interested in how much a somehow mature 1st gen 7nm node could clock and also how much can a 5600xt catch up with its big brother rx5700 .... even though i dont plan to buy any of those in near future :p

I have had various ati cards over the years without issues, the incident I experienced with the R9 290 infuriated me to the point I had to spent my money elsewhere. That was the first time in my experience with pc's I had to sell the part to resolve the problem.
So yeah, the competition was more expensive, and I never experienced an issues that was not fixable since I decided to switch.
I have seen a lot of threads and reports of black screening and it reminded me of my experience with it.
