If you go over to astroturfed reddit, there is no shortage of topvoted comments cheering the IDF for bombing children by saying "they're all hamas."

The same rhetoric Hamas probably used to justify killing Israeli civilians. But it's okay if Israel does it, because you know.

Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you

Hmm. You're right. It's me with my exotic hardware and configurations, not the drivers that many other people outside of /r/linux routinely complain about. My bad. Different AMD drivers breaking some things and fixing others (while never being fully functional) is because of me. The drivers are literally perfect, and have been for years.

Lol. Delusion is just not a river in egypt. Keep fanboying, gonna block you now.

Nah. Nothing weird or wrong about my setup.

Everything worked fine with my Nvidia 660ti. When I switched to an RX 580, I had issues with refresh rates and Freesync (that I can remember, it's been awhile and I don't care to keep all this recorded.) Some versions of drivers would fix issues but cause others. Some versions required certain configurations to fix issues but cause others. It was a mess.

Switched back to the 660ti, no issues. Bought a used 1070, no issues.

Haven't gone back to AMD since that horrendous experience, but maybe they've improved.

I think it's sad how few people here are willing to acknowledge that AMD's drivers may not have been adequate for most users even if they worked for them. I bought AMD listening to ya'll, and was horribly disappointed.

I guess that's part of why theory is no substitute for experience.

Nah. It was an RX 580.

I think instead of damage control for AMD, you could try to open your mind to the possibility that their drives may not be so superior that they work for everyone just because they work for you.

It's at least possible, right?

Yeah, I just meant it was a lame joke befitting of reddit comedians and their fans.

That's nice. It's interesting how many people say one works better than the other based on their own experience.

I think it's a testament to why people should go with what works best for them, and not just what people on the internet say works best.

Nah. It's my experience with both Linux and Windows.

Both. The experience was horrible on both.

I bought an AMD GPU before and the experience was so horrible that it's deterred me from ever buying one again.

I never knew how good I had it with Nvidia until I tried AMD. The main issue? Drivers. AMDs drivers were abysmally shit. I never had to 'choose' specific versions of Nvidia drivers to get them to work. I did with AMD, and some features would work while others would break depending on the version.

Ended up returning it because it was that bad.

Really shitty article.

Just give us the facts without all the dramatization.

That's fair. I was comparing prices of houses outside of major cities since the vast majority of Americans will never be able to afford a house in or around one.
