"AMD drivers require a faster CPU" - truth to this?

On my long search for a graphics card I keep finding this as advice from people that AMD cards need a faster CPU and Nvidias are a lot less demanding on the CPU.

I use an i7 920 so my CPU is sort of lacking and had planned to get an r9 380......but this is putting me off.

Is there truth to this and if so would a 960 be a better purchase due to the better Nvidia drivers?
 
Ok so its still split, this thread is the type i keep finding.

People state how silly it is and a few comments down people start to say just how true it is and there is proof........

The more I read about Nvidia vs AMD cards the more obvious it is how biased people are because they spent cash on X instead of Y.
