    IDK if people over exaggerate but I honestly had more issues with NVIDIA driver on GTX 1080ti and RTX 3060ti than I had with my RX 6800 XT.

    All issues could be mostly resolved with workarounds on both AMD and NVIDIA. The NVIDIA issues were actually more annoying as I had issues outside of games.

    In conclusion, all GPU vendors have issues. NVIDIA is not the perfect guy, people just learned to ignore their issue or work around them.

      You’re not wrong (as someone who has owned both cards) but lets be honest here, two generations ago AMD had HORRIBLE drivers/support, like epic-level WTFness bad.

      They had a hole they dug themselves into to get out of, and I believe they have, and then some. But they are still battling that negative rep from that time. Some people still see them in that “hole”, flailing about, which is what I was initially pushing back against with the OP, to say that AMD is no longer in that hole.

      Same. My 6700XT is solid as a rock playing games through Proton and doing a bit of light AI work on the side.
