It's endlessly frustrating to see AMD doing such a good job pressuring Intel on the processor side with Ryzen yet be so woefully incompetent pressuring Nvidia when it comes to GPU'S and largely due to the drivers.
I have been running an old PC I built years ago and I'm currently in the process of deciding what parts to buy for a new rig that is badly overdue. I likely will be using a Ryzen 5 3600 and while I'd like to use a 5600XT or 5700 I can't see a way to do it with risking endless frustration. Honestly how they can let someone mismanage this situation so badly and remain employed is beyond my comprehension.
I see much complaining only posts and funny enough all own a nvidia presuming to have bought a AMD gpu and not even tried to wait for a solution, but in great haste returned the product.
Exactly what I see with my problem fixing by those who ask me to see if I can solve their crap.
In almost every case they hardly done any research if the part they bought would be a wise step to do, no way Jose they ran to a store or ordered it at a online store put it their machine and hope for the best.
Do I have to remind the people out here the blow up nvidia 560 - 580 series ....
Nobody talks about it anymore and simply forgotten nvidia has had plenty of issues as well, but then I hardly see people complaining about the driver issues, nor do they send the card back so hastly.
Its typical this kinda people filling almost every it tech related forum reaction.
AMD bla bla crap and fail and not working, its downright BS AMD has proper cards on the market and many cards became hyped to the moon by online reviewers before the card was even released .... GUESS WHO PAYS THESE PEOPLE...... You do not believe me look at the items surrounding these people yes indeed all nvidia boxes and cards YES. but ofcourse those are trusted people who travel almost every month to china because they do not get paid for their reviews ,,,, Those who believe them should get their heads checked out. AMD has admitted that this series suffers from a flaw in the RDNA design but again most issues are caused by people ramming it into an old motherboard and do not even clean thier system properly before putting the proper drivers on a system.
Hell I've had thousands of issues with nvidia its crap drivers as well, do you hear me complain nooo, I simply find an older driver which works ok and wait till the maker releases a better version.
Its amazing that people love to blab only about AMD issues and do not want to hear about all the issues with other brands have or that in most cases the issues are caused by flawed drivers from other products.
I constant have issues with the audio drivers and even now the so called IRQ sharing is still not flawless.
Even my pretty new system is constant putting 3 major devices and 1 IRQ guess what happens, yes indeed it crashes many times. It costs me often hours to solve these ***** issues which should not happen, but guess what making good drivers seems a pretty difficult task for almost every company on the planet. Hell even Intel its drivers are flawed sometimes, but they do their best to fix it as fast as they can if many people complain.
