<pre>Apologies for taking so long to reply, I've spent the last couple of days
swapping out my motherboard and doing some (non-GPU) stress testing.
I'm now on a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite, and kernel 5.0.

I will admit that I haven't done very extensive testing, but it seems as though
that option has actually made things significantly more stable.
I was able to run The Witcher 3 for a good 15 to 20 minutes at 1440p without
any issues. I even tried disabling Vsync, increasing graphics options, and even
enabled HairWorks in an attempt to provoke an error, but no dice. Considering
I'm used to The Witcher 3 freaking out violently after about five minutes or
less, it's a hell of an improvement already.
I will note, however, that when I got the error previously (the one I have
attached), that was during the tutorial section of the game, and I am now in
White Orchard, which may or may not be making some difference. I will also
mention that without any special parameters or environment variables, I can run
The Witcher 3 perfectly fine with Wine D3D11, just not with good performance.
GTA Online will be a difficult one to make a judgement on however, as I can
sometimes go hours without an error, other times it can happen very quickly.</pre>
