AMD Radeon drivers reliable enough to warrant buying one

[Nasher]

I haven't had problems with AMD drivers for a long time.

Yes of course. The only issue I've had lately was on a widescreen monitor if you couldn't get a high enough screen resolution on a new windows install the driver installer's confirm option was off the bottom the of screen so you couldn't click on anything but thats been fixed in the last half dozen or so releases.

Never! Not since my friend owned Radeon 9700 Pro in 2002, he was so sick and very fedup of drivers bugs and reinstall drivers back and forward every month after broken many games he played, he told me Radeon drivers are absolutely massive pain in ass.

My sister bought Lenovo laptop at Currys around 2014 for work at college, laptop used AMD Llano APU, she texted me told me she bought new laptop, had problems ran games on it then I showed her my desktop PC with Nvidia GPU and my laptop with Intel iGPU, told her the whole truth about Radeon worst drivers then she returned laptop to Currys exchanged for other Lenovo laptop with Intel iGPU and she was happy every games ran worked fine on Intel iGPU.

George Hotz and his Tiny Corporation colleagues were pinning their hopes on AMD delivering some good news earlier this month. The development of a "TinyBox" AI compute cluster project hit some major roadblocks a couple of weeks ago—at the time, Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU firmware was not gelling...

After 22 years my friend had Radeon 9700 Pro, today he read it and told me Nvidia driver are still the best rock solid for 22 years but he not really surprised AMD driver still suck rubbish very unstable nightmare hell POS. Sadly AMD Radeon driver never changed after 22 years!

In a subforum so full of banal and ludicrous point scoring tosh that its barely worth visiting this has to be up there with the best of them. Well done. Thats not easily achieved here.

What's even more ironic is that was before AMD had anything to do with graphics cards let alone the drivers!
